Canonical Rules

The canonical AGM governance rules live in .agm/:

  • .agm/manifest.yml
  • the risk-zone file referenced by the manifest
  • the evidence-requirement file referenced by the manifest

Skills, AGENTS.md, and CLAUDE.md are optional adoption-layer helpers.

Final approval, rejection, request-for-changes, or merge decisions remain with human maintainers.
