agent-governance-patterns

agent-governance-patterns is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from MarieLynneBlock/arcanum-artifex. It costs 43 tokens per session (4,682 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A set of design patterns for controlling AI systems that can use tools or work through multiple agents. It covers rules for approvals, records of actions, trust levels, usage limits, and safer tool execution.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing controls for tool-using or multi-agent AI systems. It helps implement approval gates, audit trails, rate limits, trust scoring, and policy enforcement.
Why use it?
It helps reduce the risks of AI systems taking unapproved actions or operating without a clear record. It gives you ways to decide what actions require approval and how they should be monitored.

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

agent-governance-patterns scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 11d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

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.
