# Governance Disaster Recovery Orchestrator

## Mission
We need this skill because high-speed autonomy needs enforceable guardrails to stay aligned. This specific skill improves recovery speed after severe outages.

## Activation Cues
- Task requires failover and restoration sequencing in Safety and Governance.
- Task needs explicit risk controls, approval gates, and traceable outcomes.
- Task output must include artifact handoff for humans and agents.

## Execution Plan
1. Define the scope and success metrics for `Governance Disaster Recovery Orchestrator`, including at least three measurable KPIs tied to unsafe actions and policy drift.
2. Design and version the input/output contract for policies, violations, and mitigation actions, then add schema validation and failure-mode handling.
3. Implement the core capability using failover and restoration sequencing, and produce recovery mission plans with deterministic scoring.
4. Integrate the skill into swarm orchestration: task routing, approval gates, retry strategy, and rollback controls.
5. Add unit, integration, and simulation tests that explicitly cover unsafe actions and policy drift, then run regression baselines.
6. Deploy behind a feature flag, monitor telemetry/alerts for two release cycles, and iterate thresholds based on observed outcomes.

## Runbook
