What it does

Governance Sync is an agent skill from hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins. Audit or explicitly synchronize Claude and Codex repository governance without overwriting conflicts. Triggers: governance sync, CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, instruction mirror.

Its SKILL.md is about 800 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Agent instruction files. The repository describes itself as: A curated list of awesome OpenAI Codex / ChatGPT plugins, skills, and resources. The 1 Codex Marketplace. See live plugins at: https://hol.org/plugins/best-codex-plugins. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Agent instruction files

Example prompts

  • “/governance-sync”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Bash

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9e7b281. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Bash

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    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 Sync loads about 800 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 47 tokens; SKILL.md has 303 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~47
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~800

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Read, Bash

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.

Governance sync

This explicit-only operator audits native repository instructions and can create a missing Claude or Codex adapter from one declared source. It never edits a conflict.

Audit first

Resolve the installed script once. Claude Code and Codex compatibility loading provide CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT; otherwise use the direct relative path from the documented installed skills/governance-sync working directory:

bash
if [ -n "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-}" ]; then
  KERNEL_GOVERNANCE_SYNC="$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/governance-sync.py"
else
  KERNEL_GOVERNANCE_SYNC="../../scripts/governance-sync.py"
fi
test -f "$KERNEL_GOVERNANCE_SYNC"

Run python3 "$KERNEL_GOVERNANCE_SYNC" audit <root> --json. The audit discovers canonical Git roots, ignores caches, deduplicates linked worktrees, and reports: missing both, Claude-only, AGENTS-only, both identical, generated current, generated stale, incomplete generation, conflict, and scoped .claude states. Generated states are decided from manifest hashes and adapter provenance, not raw file equality. Missing-both is compliant and remains untouched unless init is explicit.

Writes require confirmation

Show the exact repository, source, target, and backup directory. Continue only after the user confirms one command:

text
python3 "$KERNEL_GOVERNANCE_SYNC" adopt REPO --source CLAUDE.md --backup-dir REPO/.kernel-governance-backups/adopt
python3 "$KERNEL_GOVERNANCE_SYNC" generate REPO --backup-dir REPO/.kernel-governance-backups/generate
python3 "$KERNEL_GOVERNANCE_SYNC" check REPO

AGENTS.md and .claude/CLAUDE.md are also valid sources. The manifest pins the source path, source hash, output, output hash, and generator version. Scoped sources stay where they are; only the missing root-native adapter is generated. A regular file conflict, unrecorded edit, stale hash, malformed manifest, symlink, or existing backup with different content stops the operation. Identical backups are idempotent. Backups stay inside the repository. Use separate BACKUPS/adopt and BACKUPS/generate phases so an approved source update preserves both the pre-adoption state and the adapter it replaces.

Writes are crash-consistent per file: each completed replacement is a whole, fsynced file. An interruption can leave some files current and others stale; check reports that drift without changing anything, and rerunning the write operation converges it. There is no background lock, journal, rollback, or cleanup of unknown temporary files. An existing backup-directory symlink is always rejected before path resolution.

Use python3 "$KERNEL_GOVERNANCE_SYNC" init REPO --backup-dir REPO/.kernel-governance-backups/init only when the user explicitly wants governance created in a repository where both native files are absent.

Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Governance Sync in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins --skill governance-sync -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/governance-sync, .gemini/skills/governance-sync, .github/skills/governance-sync and .opencode/skills/governance-sync in your project.

What does Governance Sync need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Governance Sync needs the command-line tools its instructions call (python3). Our summary lists: Python 3. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Read, Bash.

Does Governance Sync 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.

Is Governance Sync safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (pre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: bash)), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Governance Sync use?

Governance Sync is published under the Apache-2.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Governance Sync use?

About 800 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3.2k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
