Decision Analysis exposes assumptions, failure paths, and success conditions for high-stakes design choices. It uses premortem and backcast reasoning to rank options against constraints, reversibility, and evidence quality, then returns a risk-calibrated recommendation. The skill routes obligations and rationale to their authoritative destinations—RFC, ADR, Work Item, or verification—rather than creating artifacts itself.

migrate helps you add govctl governance to an established project by examining existing evidence—documentation, code structure, VCS history, and configuration—to recover consequential decisions and specifications. It guides you through a discovery phase, presents candidates for backfill as Architecture Decision Records, RFCs, or Work Items, and executes only authorized changes in small coherent batches. The workflow preserves traceability, respects existing artifact state, and stops when evidence conflicts or authorization is unclear.

commit creates a coherent, single-outcome VCS change while enforcing governance rules and linking to active work items. It detects your repository type (Jujutsu or Git), validates against govctl policies, and ensures unrelated changes stay separate. The skill handles traceability, commit message formatting, and post-commit verification in one workflow.

ADR Writer guides you through documenting architectural decisions by establishing the problem context, weighing real alternatives, explaining why one direction won, and recording both benefits and costs. It enforces boundaries between decision rationale and product obligations, keeping ADRs focused on justification rather than execution or RFC-level commitments.

RFC Writer guides you through composing normative RFCs—product contracts with observable obligations, invariants, and compatibility rules. It enforces separation between specification prose and implementation details, ensures each clause is independently testable, and hands off lifecycle operations to dedicated governance tools. Use it to author the contract itself, not design rationale or execution scope.

gov delivers substantive code changes within your repository's governance framework, enforcing RFC and ADR authority while maintaining work-item traceability. It establishes current state, validates against normative specifications, and ensures completion evidence before closure.
