governance

name: governance description: Governance and anchoring — decision rights, conflict resolution, alignment, naming, citations/anchors, glossary hygiene.

Category skill (blueprint pack). The description above is the only thing the router sees — broad and generic on purpose. The fat detail lives in the blueprints below; open the one that matches and read it in full.

Governs its own form per .claude/rules/rules-are-small-carved-sentences-pointing-to-docs.md and .claude/rules/mirror-beacon-register-discipline.md (carved sentence = hub / Beacon; blueprint = satellite / Mirror). The directory is an independent shipping unit.
