What it does

Skill Governance Loop is an agent skill from cnfjlhj/ai-collab-playbook. Use when the user asks to review a skill, analyze skill quality, update or align a skill version, compare local state against a newer variant, or run a repeatable keep/enable/hide/disable/archive decision loop from real failures instead of abstract best practices.

Its SKILL.md is about 470 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 10 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/agents-vs-skill.md`, `references/case-template.md` and `references/decision-template.md`).

The repository describes itself as: Practical AI collaboration playbook for research, writing, reading, and coding: article, prompts, agent rules, and reusable skills.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to review a skill
  • Analyze skill quality
  • Align a skill version
  • Compare local state against a newer variant

Example prompts

  • “/skill-governance-loop”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b3ee0d6. 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

    Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    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

Skill Governance Loop loads about 468 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 72 tokens; SKILL.md has 248 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~72
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~468
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.6k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 248 words (~468 tokens).

“Use this skill for evidence-based governance of one skill or a small target set. It starts from a concrete problem, audits the skill, and ends with an explicit keep, enable, hide, disable, merge, split, or archive decision.”
