Governance: Define Rule of Constraints

1. Context

This skill creates a Rule of Constraints (RoC) policy bundle that defines guard rails, approvals, and escalation triggers for a bounded context.

2. Inputs

• context (required): Bounded context name (safe path segment).
• roc_id (required): RoC identifier (safe path segment).
• constraints (optional): Semicolon-delimited constraint statements.
• allowed_tools (optional): Semicolon-delimited allowed tool list.
• forbidden_tools (optional): Semicolon-delimited forbidden tool list.
• approvals_required_for (optional): Semicolon-delimited approval requirement keys.
• approver_role (optional): Approver role label.
• escalations_trigger_on (optional): Semicolon-delimited escalation triggers.
• escalation_target (optional): Escalation target (default: human).
• violation_outcome (optional): Outcome when violations occur (blocked or needs-review).
• evolution_notes (optional): Reserved evolution policy notes (not enforced).
• agent_type (optional): Agent type defining the RoC.
• agent_model (optional): Agent model identifier.
• role_assignment (optional): RoleAssignment for U.Work logging (default: Strategist).
• decisions (optional): Semicolon-delimited DRR ids/paths.
• timestamp_start (optional): ISO-8601 timestamp for deterministic output.

3. Outputs

• runtime/contexts/<context>/roc/<roc_id>.roc.yaml

4. Procedure

1. Validate inputs and ensure the RoC contains at least one policy section.
2. Write the RoC YAML file.
3. Emit U.Work via telemetry/log-work when available.
