coderifts-api-governance

coderifts-api-governance is a plugin for Cursor from coderifts/api-governance. Its manifest loads nothing; the 1 skill it bundles cost 144 tokens per session together, scanned A, original, MIT.

An API-change governance tool that checks proposed changes to interface descriptions such as OpenAPI, GraphQL, gRPC, AsyncAPI, and tool schemas. It verifies signed records of past decisions and returns a limited action such as continue, request approval, or stop.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before changing API contracts or tool schemas. It helps check change sets, verify signed decision records, and choose whether work may continue.
Why use it?
Changes to an API can break clients or bypass required approval. This tool provides a repeatable preflight decision and fails closed when the result is not recognised.

Security

Grade A, and why

coderifts-api-governance 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 today.

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.

What it installs

The manifest is a name and a version. 1 skill travel with it, and installing the plugin installs all of them — 144 tokens a session between them. Each is measured on its own page, and each can be installed alone.

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.
