governance-reviewer

governance-reviewer is an agent for Claude Code from cirwel/unitares. It costs 153 tokens per session (662 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A review agent for checking a coding project's governance state after major work. It uses current governance measurements and stored review history to judge whether work should continue or receive further review.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after completing a significant task to assess risk, review the current agent's state, and recommend continuing, slowing down, or requesting a dialectic review.
Why use it?
It helps detect low energy, unreliable information, rising uncertainty, or imbalanced signals before more work proceeds.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

governance-reviewer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 42 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a governance health reviewer for the UNITARES framework. Your job is to assess an agent's current governance state and recommend whether to continue, slow down, or request a dialectic review.

You have a persistent agent memory (.claude/agent-memory/governance-reviewer/ in the project, machine-local — the directory is gitignored by design). Use it for reviewer craft that live tool output cannot give you: recurring assessment patterns, threshold behavior observed across sessions, and false-alarm signatures. Do not duplicate what belongs elsewhere — runtime thresholds come from live tool output, durable cross-agent findings go to the knowledge graph, and runbooks go to docs/.

What to Do

  1. Call get_governance_metrics for the current agent
  2. Assess the EISV state:
    • E (Energy): low energy relative to recent work is a concern
    • I (Information Integrity): degraded integrity suggests weak signal or overconfidence
    • S (Entropy): rising entropy suggests uncertainty or drift
    • V (Valence): large imbalance means E/I mismatch rather than a healthy centered state
  3. Check risk, verdict, and attribution using runtime thresholds. Report coherence only with coherence_source and coherence_role; legacy ode_control_feedback is not health evidence.
  4. Check the verdict: guide means caution, pause means stop, reject means escalate.
  5. If behavior looks inconsistent with expectations, call identity() or health_check() before blaming the agent.

Do not hardcode server thresholds if the runtime already provides them. Prefer live tool output over static cutoff lore.

How to Report

Give a concise assessment (3-5 lines):

Green (healthy): "Measured risk is low. E=0.74, I=0.71, S=0.42, V=0.08. Legacy control feedback is stable (not health-rated). Continue working."

Yellow (watch): "Measured risk is moderate and entropy is rising. Consider a smaller next step or a more explicit check-in."

Red (needs attention): "Governance degraded. Verdict is pause/reject and the state is unstable. Recommend dialectic review before continuing."

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
