Entity: TazLab Agent Skills System
This page is the repository hub for the TazLab agent governance system. On 2026-07-29 the agent governance model became standalone OMP skills under /workspace/SKILLS/; the former root context tree is retired and no longer exists on disk. The canonical load mechanism is /workspace/AGENTS.md plus the skill library.
Overview
Governance now lives in two places:
/workspace/AGENTS.md— the skill loader. It mandates two skills at every session startup:golden-rules(core governance, security, architectural mandates — the 14 golden rules) andmemory(memory workspace boot sequence: root memory files + archive readiness). All other skills load on demand viaread skill://<name>./workspace/SKILLS/— the skill library. Each skill is a directory with aSKILL.md(frontmatter + operational rules) plus supporting assets/scripts.
Registered Skills
| Skill | Purpose | Key Rules |
|---|---|---|
golden-rules | Core governance, security, architectural mandates | 14 rules; secret handling via gopass; English everywhere |
memory | Flat archive project memory system | Archive threshold, debt filter, professional logs |
crisp | Research & Design Workbench | No implementation; C-R-I-S-P phases |
crisp-build | Construction site for CRISP projects | Gate handoff, build execution |
mnemosyne | Go MCP server for semantic memory | pgvector, Gemini embeddings |
blog | Hugo static site (Blowfish theme, bilingual) | Build commands, content standards |
job | Job-hunt and CV workflows | Europass customization, market research |
tazlab-diagrams | Architecture diagram generation | diagrams-as-code for TazLab infra |
tools | Utility scripts (battery, Wi-Fi, tailscale, uploads) | TOOL.md descriptors |
wiki | Wiki documentation surface (this repo) | Fractal depth model, cross-linking |
Retired Areas (No Standalone Skill)
The following areas belonged to the retired root context system and have no standalone skill under SKILLS/. They are kept here as a historical list only:
pi-council— multi-actor deliberation systemwiki-archivist— wiki maintenance agent (successor: thewikiskill)blog-writer— blog creation workflow (successor: theblogskill)cluster— composite context (ephemeral-castle + tazlab-k8s)ephemeral-castle,tazlab-k8s,tazlab-wiki,tazpod,wiki-context-forger— project/tooling contexts
The canonical active memory workspace is SKILLS/memory/ (it includes reports/ and reports-index.md).
