ai-app-governed

ai-app-governed is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from layer1labs/specsmith. It costs 0 tokens per session (577 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A governance profile for agents building AI applications. It sets rules for permissions, safety checks, and managing the limited amount of text an AI can process at once.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to organize requirements, test cases, traceability, releases, and automated testing for AI applications. It also covers context sizing, compression, and limits.
Why use it?
It gives AI development work a defined process for checking requests, controlling access, and preventing context limits from disrupting the work.

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

ai-app-governed 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 6d 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.

AI App Governed Profile

Requirements Covered

Governance Requirements

  • REQ-012: Least-Privilege Agent Permissions
  • REQ-217: Agent Permissions Check
  • REQ-220: Policy Guardrails
  • REQ-244: Context Window Sizing
  • REQ-245: Live Context Fill Indicator
  • REQ-246: Auto Context Compression
  • REQ-247: Hard Context Ceiling

Core Principle

The ai-app-governed profile is designed for agents operating within AI application development environments. It ensures compliance with Specsmith governance while managing the unique constraints and capabilities of AI application development.

Environment-Specific Features

  • AI application development environment integration
  • Context window optimization for AI app constraints
  • Compliance with AI application development policies
  • Integration with AI application testing frameworks

Implementation Details

AI App-Specific Execution

  1. Leverage AI application development capabilities for model training and deployment
  2. Optimize context windows to fit AI application development constraints
  3. Apply Specsmith governance rules within AI application environments
  4. Maintain traceability between AI app actions and Specsmith requirements

Context Management

  • Optimize context for AI application development requirements
  • Apply AI app-specific compression techniques
  • Ensure context fits within AI app constraints while maintaining traceability
  • Track AI application development usage and performance metrics

Configuration

Default Behavior

By default, the ai-app-governed profile:

  • Integrates with AI application development tools and environments
  • Optimizes context for AI application development constraints
  • Maintains full Specsmith governance compliance
  • Tracks AI application development metrics

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.

ai-app-governed is a skill published in the GitHub repository layer1labs/specsmith (7 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 577 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
