Skill Governance Loop

Skill Governance Loop

Overview

Use this skill for evidence-based governance of one skill or a small target set. It starts from a concrete problem, audits the skill, and ends with an explicit keep, disable, merge, split, or archive decision.

Rules

• Start from a concrete case such as poor triggering, overlap, bloat, or a version update request.
• Produce three outputs every time: the case, the audit, and the decision.
• Separate static quality from observed usefulness; a pretty skill is not automatically a useful skill.
• Use inventory tooling first when the scope is broad enough to need filesystem evidence.
• Record the next hypothesis so the next governance pass has a sharper starting point.

When to Use

Use when:

• the user asks to review a skill, analyze skill quality, or update a skill version
• a skill may need to be kept, disabled, merged, split, archived, or moved
• the user wants a repeatable governance loop instead of one-off edits

Do not use when:

• the task is broad inventory scanning of many skills at once
• the work is simple skill authoring with no governance decision
• the request is only to discover whether a skill exists
