description	Use when changing repo-scoped Codex custom agents, subagent concurrency or depth, delegation policy, or handoff verification rules in hushh-research.

Hussh Agent Orchestration Governance Skill

Purpose and Trigger

• Primary scope: agent-orchestration-governance-intake
• Trigger on repo-scoped custom agents, .codex/config.toml limits, delegation policy, child handoff contracts, or workflow orchestration changes.
• Avoid overlap with codex-skill-authoring for generic skill taxonomy and repo-context for broad repository intake.

Coverage and Ownership

• Role: owner
• Owner family: agent-orchestration-governance

Owned repo surfaces:

1. .codex/agents
2. .codex/config.toml
3. .codex/skills/agent-orchestration-governance
4. .codex/workflows/agent-orchestration-governance
5. AGENTS.md
6. docs/reference/operations/README.md
7. docs/reference/operations/coding-agent-mcp.md

Non-owned surfaces:

1. repo-context
2. codex-skill-authoring
3. repo-operations
4. future-planner

Do Use

1. Adding or tightening repo-scoped custom agents.
2. Changing subagent concurrency/depth limits or delegation policy.
3. Defining authority boundaries, parent-only actions, or child handoff shape.
4. Keeping agents thin and routed through existing owner/spoke skills.

Do Not Use

1. Broad repo scans that should start with repo-context.
2. Generic skill creation or taxonomy work that belongs to codex-skill-authoring.
3. Domain implementation after the correct owner lane is clear.
4. Recursive multi-agent expansion beyond bounded defaults without evidence.

Read First

1. AGENTS.md
2. .codex/skills/agent-orchestration-governance/references/delegation-contract.md
3. .codex/skills/codex-skill-authoring/references/skill-contract.md
4. .codex/skills/codex-skill-authoring/references/truth-first-operating-kernel.md
5. docs/reference/operations/coding-agent-mcp.md
6. .codex/skills/agent-orchestration-governance/references/anti-rationalization.md

Workflow

1. Verify that a custom agent is justified; prefer skills/workflows when role specialization is not needed.
2. Keep the fleet at the curated sweet spot: broad read-only evidence lanes, not one agent per skill.
3. Preserve the repo-wide delegation checkpoint and truth-first handoff shape in AGENTS.md and delegation-contract.md.
4. Keep custom-agent TOML files thin: role, sandbox, nicknames, principal-craft inheritance hook, concise instructions, and skill routing.
5. Keep wave-1 agents read-only and leave branch switching, writes, approval, merge, deploy, secrets, and final decisions to the parent/governor.
6. Keep global limits bounded at max_threads = 6 and max_depth = 1 unless a later review proves otherwise.
7. Route product-direction, founder-language, One/Kai/Nav, PKM, voice/action, and PR north-star lanes through the Founder Wiki North-Star Probe when material; repo/wiki divergence is current_state_vs_north_star_drift.
8. Run agent validation, fleet audit, router smoke, skill lint, and repo/docs governance checks after orchestration changes.

Handoff Rules

1. Broad repo intake routes to repo-context.
2. Generic skill-system authoring routes to codex-skill-authoring.
3. CI, deploy, or runtime-governance follow-up routes to repo-operations.
4. Future-state agent-lattice planning routes to future-planner.
5. Domain implementation routes to the relevant owner skill.
