Activation

This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.

Proactive governance advisor — checks standards, decisions, and quality trends during development. Always advisory, NEVER blocks. Three modes: `advise` (post-edit), `gate` (pre-dispatch), `drift` (on-demand decision audit). Trigger for 'governance check', 'advise on this change', 'check for drift', 'is this aligned with active decisions', 'shift-left advisory'. Not for blocking gates — use /ai-verify. Not for narrative code review — use /ai-review.

Key capabilities

  • Provide advisory feedback on code changes
  • Check standards and quality trends during development
  • Validate proposed tasks against governance boundaries
  • Audit code alignment with active architectural decisions
  • Identify solution-intent alignment gaps
  • Surface dependency-health concerns

How it works

The skill dispatches an `ai-advise` agent to analyze code and project state, providing advisory feedback based on established conventions and active decisions, without blocking execution or modifying code.

  • Identifying architecture drift
  • Governance review

About ai-advise

Analyzes code and project state to provide proactive advice based on established project conventions. It operates in multiple modes, including post-edit advising and decision audits.

Proactive governance advisor — checks standards, decisions, and quality trends during development. Always advisory, NEVER blocks. Three modes: `advise` (post-edit), `gate` (pre-dispatch), `drift` (on-demand decision audit). Trigger for 'governance check', 'advise on this change', 'check for drift',

When not to use it

  • When needing to block execution based on findings
  • When needing to modify code based on advice
  • When needing narrative code review

Limitations

  • Always advisory, never blocks execution
  • Never modifies code
  • Never emits FAIL, BLOCK, or CRITICAL outcomes

How it compares

This skill offers proactive, advisory governance checks during development, providing recommendations without blocking, unlike tools that enforce strict gates or perform narrative reviews.
