What it does

Governance Observability is an agent skill from Habitat-Thinking/ai-literacy-superpowers. Use when defining governance metrics, reading governance health snapshots, generating the governance dashboard, or understanding the governance data model. Referenced by the governance-auditor agent and the /governance-health command.

Its SKILL.md is about 940 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/dashboard-spec.md`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Observability. The repository describes itself as: A set of Claude Code and GitHub Copilot plugins providing the AI Literacy framework's complete development workflow — harness engineering, agent orchestration, literate….

When your agent uses it

  • Defining governance metrics
  • Reading governance health snapshots
  • Generating the governance dashboard
  • Understanding the governance data model

Example prompts

  • “/governance-observability”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Summary — overall governance health score, counts, ratios
  2. Constraint Assessment — per-constraint table with
  3. Governance Debt Inventory — per-item table with severity,
  4. Debt Cycle Analysis — any reinforcement patterns detected
  5. Prioritised Recommendations — ordered by debt score

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9d35995. 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

Governance Observability loads about 936 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 352 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~65
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~936
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.7k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 352 words (~936 tokens).
