/arckit:agent-governance creates an Agent Governance Framework covering oversight model, approval workflow, audit requirements, monitoring KPIs, escalation procedures, incident response, and compliance mapping.

Inputs

Artefact Purpose
Agent inventory (ARC-<id>-AAGI-v1.0.md) Mandatory agent list, capabilities, risk levels
Agent design (ARC-<id>-AAGR-v1.0.md) Mandatory autonomy, tool use, decision patterns, integration points
Global principles (ARC-000-PRIN-v1.0.md) Governance principles and human oversight standards
Architecture board (ARC-<id>-BORD-v1.0.md) Board policies, risk appetite, approval precedents
Regulatory requirements (projects/000-global/external/) AI Act, NIST AI RMF, sector governance standards and audit mandates as applicable
Existing governance policies (projects/<id>/governance/) Current oversight models and approval hierarchies

Command

/arckit:agent-governance <agent, project ID, or agent programme>

Output: projects/<id>/ARC-<id>-AAOV-v1.0.md

Deliverable Snapshot

Section Contents
Oversight Model Three oversight tiers (Tier 1 human-in-the-loop, Tier 2 human-on-the-loop, Tier 3 human-out-of-the-loop) assigned per agent by risk and autonomy
Approval Matrix Who approves design, deployment, tool access, and changes
Audit Requirements Logs, evidence, retention, review cadence
Monitoring KPIs Safety, quality, performance, incident, and drift signals
Escalation Procedures Operational and governance escalation paths
Incident Response Plan Severity, response times, owners, communications
Compliance Mapping Applicable AI, security, data, and sector controls
Traceability Links to inventory, design, principles, and board artefacts

Review Checklist

  • Oversight model matches autonomy, risk, and user impact.
  • Approval matrix covers deployment, tool access, model changes, and policy exceptions.
  • Audit requirements include retention, reviewers, and evidence location.
  • Monitoring KPIs are actionable and assigned to owners.
  • Compliance mapping distinguishes required controls from advisory practices.
  • /arckit:agent-security - Align security controls to governance requirements.
  • /arckit:architecture-board - Route high-impact agent decisions.
  • /arckit:agent-maturity - Assess programme maturity and improvement roadmap.
