What Governance Encoder does

Governance Encoder converts governance policies into machine-checkable JSON or YAML constraint files for AI agents and CI pipelines. Use it when you need to encode rules, not write decision records or documentation.

Governance Encoder is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Governance Encoder comes from a repository tagged claude-code, claude-code-plugin, design-system, design-systems and design-tokens.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

Governance encoder

A skill for converting design system governance policies — the rules about how the system should be used, contributed to, and evolved — from human-readable documentation into machine-executable constraint definitions that AI agents validate against in real time.

Context

Most design system governance lives in documents that humans read and (sometimes) follow. Contribution guidelines in a wiki. Naming conventions in a README. Token usage rules in a Slack thread from eighteen months ago. These rules are enforced by review — a senior team member spots a violation during a PR review or a design crit and asks for a correction.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
