Insights & Updates
Thoughts on AI-assisted development, phase discipline, and building deterministic workflows for the age of AI coding.
govctl v0.8.2: Controlled Tags for Governance Artifacts
govctl 0.8.2 adds controlled-vocabulary tags across RFCs, ADRs, clauses, work items, and guards, plus tag management commands and tag-aware list filtering.
govctl v0.8.x: Canonical Edit, Simpler Planning, and Help You Can Trust
govctl 0.8 makes the path-first edit surface the public CLI contract, removes legacy JSON write paths for RFCs and clauses, and strengthens help text so agents can rely on it.
govctl v0.6.0: TOML-First Storage, Verification Guards, and a Styled TUI
The biggest govctl release yet: all artifacts are now TOML with IDE-discoverable schema headers, verification guards enforce completion gates, and the TUI renders styled markdown.
govctl 0.5.3: Migrate Skill and Agent Workflows
govctl's latest updates focus on practical AI-agent integration: adopt governance in existing repositories with /migrate, and standardize daily execution with reusable workflow skills.
Introducing skillc: A Development Kit for Agent Skills
Agent Skills define what skills are. skillc provides the how: tooling to create, validate, build, and trace skills throughout their lifecycle.
Understanding Phase Discipline
A deep dive into the spec → impl → test → stable workflow and why it's essential for deterministic AI-assisted development.
Introducing govctl: Governance for AI Coding
AI coding assistants are powerful but undisciplined. govctl brings structure, traceability, and phase discipline to AI-assisted development workflows.
