Grad Governance

What it does

When your agent uses it

• The user needs to evaluate public-private partnerships
• Analyze multi-stakeholder governance structures
• Compare governance models across sectors
• Assess institutional arrangements for collective decision-making — even if they say who governs this

Example prompts

• “who governs this”
• “public-private collaboration”
• “how are decisions made across organizations”
• “/grad-governance”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

1. 1Map the Governance Arrangement
2. 2Classify the Governance Mode
3. 3Assess Performance
4. 4Diagnose Failures

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4e7f4f8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md.

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Grad Governance loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 125 tokens; SKILL.md has 317 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~125

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.2k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~9k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description

Apply governance theory to analyze multi-level, network, and collaborative governance arrangements beyond traditional government. Use this skill when the user needs to evaluate public-private partnerships, analyze multi-stakeholder governance structures, compare governance models across sectors, or assess institutional arrangements for collective decision-making — even if they say 'who governs this', 'public-private collaboration', or 'how are decisions made across organizations'.

IRON LAW: Governance Is NOT Government

Governance includes non-state actors, networks, and market mechanisms
in collective decision-making. Three ideal types:
1. HIERARCHY: authority-based, top-down, bureaucratic rules
2. MARKET: competition-based, price signals, contracts
3. NETWORK: trust-based, reciprocity, negotiation
No real-world arrangement is purely one type — governance analysis
identifies the MIX and evaluates its appropriateness for the context.

# Governance Analysis: {Context/Policy Area}

## Actors and Roles
| Actor | Sector | Role | Resources | Authority |
|-------|--------|------|-----------|-----------|
| ... | State/Private/Civil Society | ... | ... | ... |

## Governance Mode
- Dominant mode: {hierarchy/market/network}
- Mix: {how modes combine}
- Formal rules: {legal/regulatory framework}
- Informal norms: {trust, reciprocity, power dynamics}

## Performance Assessment
| Criterion | Rating | Evidence |
|-----------|--------|----------|
| Legitimacy | ... | ... |
| Accountability | ... | ... |
| Effectiveness | ... | ... |
| Equity | ... | ... |

## Governance Failures
{Identified failures and their root causes}

## Recommendations
{Governance design improvements}
