Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned github/awesome-copilot at 6c4d33b9cf.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

The agent-governance skill provides tools and frameworks to manage, monitor, and control AI agents. It enables users to define rules, set boundaries, and ensure compliance with ethical standards or organizational policies when deploying AI agents.

When to use it

  • You need to enforce safety constraints on an AI agent's behavior during complex tasks.
  • You're building a multi-agent system that requires coordination and conflict resolution between agents.
  • You want to audit or log the actions of an AI agent for transparency and accountability.
  • Your organization has strict compliance requirements for AI usage.

Key capabilities

  • Rule-based governance for agent behavior
  • Monitoring and logging of agent activities
  • Conflict resolution in multi-agent environments
  • Enforcement of ethical and policy constraints

Example prompts

  • "Set up a governance framework to ensure this agent follows data privacy rules."
  • "Monitor the agent's actions during task execution and log any deviations from guidelines."
  • "Resolve conflicts between two agents working on overlapping tasks."

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure that governance rules are clearly defined before deployment to avoid unintended behavior.
  • Governance frameworks may require additional configuration for complex or dynamic environments.
