gov
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.
gov executes implementation under your repository's governance model, tracking work items against RFCs and ADRs.

AI-generated answers based on this skill's SKILL.md and metadata
What is gov and how does it support governed implementation?
gov is an MIT-licensed skill that delivers substantive code changes within your repository's governance framework. It enforces RFC and ADR authority, maintains work-item traceability, establishes current state, validates against normative specifications, and ensures completion evidence before closure.
How does gov handle RFC and ADR authority in implementation workflow?
gov manages the RFC and ADR lifecycle to establish authoritative decision records that guide implementation. It uses these records as the foundation for executing code changes, ensuring that all substantive modifications are rooted in documented architectural decisions and formal requests for change.
How does gov track work item traceability and implementation closure?
gov tracks implementation work items with full traceability and closure verification. It maintains linkage between work items and code changes, records completion evidence, and ensures that each item is properly closed only when all governance requirements are satisfied.
Can gov verify implementation against risk-scoped guards and compliance?
Yes. gov verifies implementation against risk-scoped guards and compliance requirements. It validates code changes against normative specifications and governance rules before allowing closure, ensuring that all risk-scoped constraints are met throughout the delivery process.
What does gov do to establish governance baseline and discover work items?
gov establishes your governance baseline by discovering active work items and current state. It scans your repository to identify existing governance structures, active implementation tasks, and pending work, providing visibility into what needs to be tracked and governed.
How can I implement code changes with gov's governance model?
To implement with gov's governance model, you execute changes within the framework it establishes. gov enforces RFC and ADR authority, tracks your work items with traceability, verifies against compliance guards, and manages closure—ensuring all code delivery follows your governance rules.

Governed Implementation
Deliver $ARGUMENTS under the repository's governance model. Use this skill for
substantive implementation; use quick for trivial non-behavioral changes and
spec when no implementation is required.
Operational Baseline
Discovery
Establish current state before choosing a workflow:
govctl status
govctl work list active
govctl work list queue
govctl loop list open
govctl search <topic>
Read a matching Work Item with govctl work show <WI-ID> and inspect relevant
RFCs or ADRs through their show commands. Use govctl <resource> --help for
current syntax and diagnostics for recovery. In the govctl repository itself,
invoke the development binary as cargo run --quiet --.
Hard Stops
- RFCs are authoritative. Stop when the requested behavior conflicts with a normative RFC or is materially unspecified.
- Do not implement behavior that depends on a draft RFC.
