What it does

Corporate Governance is an agent skill from cbrock84/headcount. Maintains the corporate record and the governance machinery — entity records, board and committee support, resolutions and minutes, delegations of authority, insurance, and business continuity. Use this to prepare board or committee materials, record a decision that needs to be minuted, set or check approval authority, review insurance and continuity coverage, establish a retention policy, or work out where a responsibility belongs when it falls between functions.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/sources.md`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Backup and disaster recovery. The repository describes itself as: An agent organization structured as a company — 15+ departments, 125+ skills, each independently installable, citing the standards and regulators that settle the question. Runs… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Backup and disaster recovery

Example prompts

  • “Use the corporate-governance skill to maintain the corporate record and the governance machinery — entity records, board and committee support…”
  • “/corporate-governance”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 98d1c17. 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.

    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

Corporate Governance loads about 1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 122 tokens; SKILL.md has 575 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~122
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.5k

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

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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
Maintains the corporate record and the governance machinery — entity records, board and committee support, resolutions and minutes, delegations of authority, insurance, and business continuity. Use this to prepare board or committee materials, record a decision that needs to be minuted, set or check approval authority, review insurance and continuity coverage, establish a retention policy, or work out where a responsibility belongs when it falls between functions.

Corporate governance

The record of what the company decided, who was allowed to decide it, and what happens when something goes wrong. Unglamorous until it is the only thing that matters.

The corporate record

One authoritative place holding: formation and entity documents, ownership and cap table, board and shareholder resolutions, minutes, signed agreements above the review threshold, insurance policies, and material licenses and registrations.

The failure mode is not losing a document; it is not knowing which version is current. Every record carries its effective date, and superseded versions are marked superseded rather than deleted — "what was in force in March" is a question that gets asked in exactly the circumstances where you cannot afford to guess.

Board and committee support

Materials go out with enough notice to actually be read — a deck delivered the night before produces a meeting where the deck is presented rather than discussed.

Each item is labeled by what it needs: decide, discuss, or note. Meetings run long because everything is presented as if it needs all three.

Minutes record decisions, who was present, who abstained or recused, and the basis on which a decision was taken. They are not a transcript. Where a decision was contested, that is worth recording — it is evidence the board exercised judgment rather than rubber-stamping.

Delegations of authority

Write down who can commit the company to what, at which value, and what requires escalation. Cover spending, contracts, hiring, and anything creating a long-term obligation.

Two failures, both common: thresholds so low that everything escalates and the process is routed around, and thresholds nobody wrote down, so authority is whatever was not challenged last time.

Review after any material change in size or structure.

Insurance and continuity

Know what is covered, what is excluded, what the limits are, and who to call. The exclusions matter more than the coverage and are read least.

For continuity: what are the handful of things the business cannot operate without, what happens if each is unavailable for a week, and who decides. An untested plan is a document, not a capability — walk through one scenario annually rather than writing more of them.

Records retention

A policy naming, per record type, how long it is kept and what happens at the end. Then a mechanism that actually enforces it, because retention by intention keeps everything forever.

Retention periods are set by statute and by what you might need to defend, whichever is longer. Never destroy anything under a legal hold, and know who can place one.

Orphaned responsibilities

Some responsibilities sit between functions and get dropped. When one appears, do not debate the right home in the abstract — assign it to whoever bears the consequence if it fails, and record the assignment. An owner who is imperfect beats an owner who is undecided.

Sources

references/sources.md in this skill lists the outside authorities that settle the questions here — what each one is authoritative for, and what you may do with it. Check them before answering on anything they cover, and cite what you used. Most are free to read and not free to reproduce; the use note on each is binding.

Never

  • Take an action that requires board or member approval and paper it afterward.
  • Let the corporate record live in someone's inbox.
  • Sign outside a documented delegation of authority because the deal is urgent.
  • Destroy records on schedule while a legal hold is in place. A hold suspends the schedule.

What does Corporate Governance need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Corporate Governance is instructions for the agent only.

Does Corporate Governance access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

How many tokens does Corporate Governance use?

About 1k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 4.1k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 426 tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
