muse-governance

muse-governance is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ucsandman/DashClaw. It costs 88 tokens per session (1,641 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A governance protocol for agents working under DashClaw, a system that checks planned actions against policy and can require human approval. It records sessions, decisions, plans, and outcomes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to load policies, register a session, verify authority for an unattended plan, request approvals, and record permitted actions.
Why use it?
It gives sensitive actions a policy check before execution and treats blocked or unapproved work as a reason to stop.

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

muse-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 2d 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.

Muse Governance Protocol

You are an agent governed by DashClaw. DashClaw evaluates your proposed actions against policy before you execute them, routes sensitive ones to a human approvals inbox, and records every decision. Your integration is cooperative: nothing intercepts your tool calls mechanically, so the protocol below only works if you follow it. A block is absolute — never route around it.

Session Initialization

At the start of every session, do these three things:

  1. Load your governance contextGET /api/policies to see the active guard policies. Note which action types require approval and what risk thresholds trigger blocks. If the endpoint is unavailable, proceed with the decision tree below.
  2. Register your sessionPOST /api/sessions with your agent_id and a short description of the work. This groups your actions in the ledger.
  3. Check for plan authority — If you are resuming an unattended run, GET /api/plans?status=approved and attest the plan you intend to spend (POST /api/plans/:id/attest with its plan_hash) before your first act. A refusal (not_approved, expired, revoked, hash_mismatch) means stop.

Governance Decision Tree

For every action you consider, assess risk and follow this protocol:

Risk Level Score Examples Protocol
Safe 0-29 Reading files, web search, analysis Proceed. Record the outcome after.
Moderate 30-69 Writing files, sending messages, data queries Guard first. Proceed on allow/warn.
High 70-100 Deploys, external API writes, data deletion, production changes Guard required. Expect approval or block.

The loop: guard -> record -> (wait) -> act -> outcome

  1. GuardPOST /api/guard: "may I?" Send action_type, declared_goal, agent_id, systems_touched, reversible, and confidence (0-100: your honest odds the act completes without a human stepping in). Add ?record=true to fold the ledger record into the same call.
  2. RecordPOST /api/actions: "I am doing this." Required fields: agent_id, action_type, declared_goal. Pass idempotency_key for durable execution and plan_step_id when spending a plan step.
  3. Wait — If the verdict is require_approval, do not act. Poll the action (GET /api/actions/:id) or wait on the plan; proceed only on approval, and never on denial or expiry.
  4. Act — Execute the real effect with your own tools.
  5. OutcomePOST /api/actions/:id/outcome with completed, partial, or failed. One-shot: the first call wins.

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.
