Deployment-agnostic governance framework

System and developer prompts, refusal and verification policies, and a compliance test runner — scoped deliberately as configuration guidance rather than runtime enforcement. Most of the content is written; packaging and versioning aren't settled yet.

Active development

In progress. Real code, not yet shown publicly anywhere else.

In more detail

A 12-class refusal and blocker policy, portable across model providers, with its own compliance test runner to check a given deployment against it. Its documentation is unusually candid about its own limit: policies alone, it states plainly, 'do not constitute governance enforcement' — that enforcement is the job of the runtime-level projects elsewhere on this page, not this framework.

Concrete specifics

  • ·12-class refusal/blocker policy taxonomy, provider-neutral
  • ·A working compliance test runner checking deployments against the policy set
  • ·Its own docs explicitly disclaim that policy alone equals enforcement
