Governance Extras

Your agent can write the RFC for a proposed change, record the ADR for a decision, and look up what your repository has already decided.

Install

You need agentbundle first. Install it from inside the repository, alongside Core:

cd path/to/your-repo
agentbundle install --pack governance-extras

What your agent can do

• Draft an RFC for a cross-cutting change, with the case for it and the strongest case against it.
• Fold a research brief or design doc into the RFC as its factual grounding.
• Record an ADR: the decision, the alternatives rejected, and the consequences. It links back to the RFC that led to it.
• Look up ADRs and RFCs by lifecycle state, supersession lineage, and references.
• Export the decision record as an offline HTML view.
• Amend an accepted RFC with a short signed correction, without reopening it.

Skills

• new-rfc — Proposes a change as a structured RFC and previews it before writing.
• new-adr — Records a decision as an ADR in the repository’s decision-record location.
• navigate-decisions — Reads the ADR and RFC corpus: landscape, lineage, references, and detail.

Works with

Works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Kiro IDE, and Kiro CLI. Install Core first, because new-adr asks Core where your repository keeps decision records. Desk Research and Architect can feed an RFC. See Record a decision and Write an RFC.

Questions

Is an RFC a decision? No. It is the case for one. The ADR records the decision once it is made.

Can an ADR be edited later? An ADR is not edited once merged. When a decision is reversed, the old ADR is superseded, not deleted.

Where does it save an ADR? In your repository’s own decision-record location if it has one. docs/adr/ is only the fallback.

Does it write to project memory? Only when Core’s project-knowledge is installed, and only after the RFC is written or an ADR is accepted. Drafts and previews are never captured.
