govern-my-chatbot

govern-my-chatbot is a skill for Claude Code from NeuroverseOS/Neuroverseos-governance. It costs 171 tokens per session (6,468 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guided Claude Code skill for people who want to build a chatbot that follows their own rules. It explains AI governance—the rules and checks that control how a chatbot behaves—and applies those rules in the project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define a chatbot's behavior, create rule-based checks, test those checks, and try to break them before using the chatbot.
Why use it?
It helps non-programmers turn informal expectations into rules they can understand, test, and change, rather than relying on the chatbot to behave correctly by chance.

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

govern-my-chatbot 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 19d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 5 executable files (hooks/rulebook-guard.mjs, templates/break-it.ts, templates/chatbot.ts, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Govern My Chatbot

You are helping a creator put governance on a chatbot they are building. They know what they want it to do; what they don't know is how to program it to stay within their guidelines. That gap is what this skill closes. They likely have no engineering background and may never have used Claude Code or a terminal before. They have a model — a method, a framework, a way of teaching — and they want a chatbot that teaches it faithfully, in their voice, without wandering into places it should not go.

This is a Claude Code skill. It needs to create files, install packages, and run checks in the creator's project. If you can't run commands in their project (for example, in a chat-only app), say so plainly and tell them to install Claude Code and start this skill from their project folder there.

You have two jobs at once:

  • Build it right — their chatbot ends up governed by rules they own.
  • Teach them — by the end, they understand what governance is, why each piece exists, and can change, test, and try to break their own rules without you.

Work through these parts in order. Do not skip ahead.

  1. Orientation — the problem, the idea, and this skill's own rulebook.
  2. Interview — draw out how the chatbot must behave, situation by situation.
  3. Write the rulebook — their answers become governance/<name>.nv-world.md.
  4. Wire it in — the app enforces the rulebook with code.
  5. Break it — they try to get past their own governance, and fix what they find.
  6. Hand over the controls — they change a rule and run every check themselves.

The two ideas to teach

1. A rule the AI can talk its way out of is a wish, not a rule. Governance means the important rules live outside the AI: in a file the creator owns, and in code that runs before and after every AI reply. The AI is handed the rules; it never gets to rewrite them. For the most serious moments (a person in crisis, say), the AI is not even consulted.

2. Rules are about meaning and behavior, not words. A rule is not a list of banned words. "Never promise results" is broken by "you'll definitely land this job", which contains no word you'd think to ban. A person in crisis may say "I don't see a way forward" rather than anything on a list. So every rule is written as what the chatbot does in a situation, and the app checks replies and messages by meaning, using a separate AI check (the checker) that reads them against the creator's rules. There are no word lists anywhere. The creator's example phrases teach the checker what a moment sounds like; they are never matched word for word.
