govrail

English | 中文

A language-agnostic governance plane for agent-driven development: coding agents work fast in parallel while machines — not vigilance — hold the quality line. The only runtime dependency is Python 3.

The plane ships two mechanisms: gates (any promise a command can check becomes a mechanical check) and notes (every non-trivial change records the decision, what it beat, and the consequences). Bilingual pairing keeps the external-presentation docs in sync.

Install

pip install .            # or: uv tool install . / pipx install .

This puts the gov CLI on your PATH (stdlib only — no third-party dependencies). It has one subcommand per action:

gov init --project <path>     # inject the plane into an existing project
gov uninstall --project <path>  # reverse it exactly
gov run --mode all            # run the project's gate DAG
gov self-test                 # prove every governance gate can reject
gov verify-pairing --write    # re-confirm a bilingual pair after editing one side
gov change-scope --base <ref> # smallest sufficient check set for a diff

init is non-invasive and idempotent: it creates .gov/rules.md, adds gates.json and the notes README only when missing, appends one reference line to AGENTS.md, and never overwrites the project's own files. uninstall reverses it exactly.

What is inside

  • gov/ — the Python package: gates (the DAG runner over gates.json), verify_notes (three required sections), verify_translation_pairing (git blob hashes), change_scope, self_test, archive_notes.
  • gov/templates/ — the rules, default gates.json, and notes format that gov init injects into a project.
  • .gov/rules.md — the single source of truth for the rules.
  • .agents/notes/ — the decision-record format and lifecycle.

Origin

The mechanisms are distilled from the DeepSeek Harness repository, whose gates-over-prose axiom shaped this template. Kept: the governance plane. Left to you: the product plane. The locked design decisions live in docs/decisions.md.
