Govern bundle overview

The Govern bundle (nold-ai/specfact-govern) adds enforcement and patch-mode workflows: configure quality gates tied to SDD plans, and preview/apply patches with explicit write controls.

Prerequisites

  • specfact module install nold-ai/specfact-govern
  • Project bundles with SDD manifests when using SDD enforcement paths

specfact govern enforce

Command Purpose
stage Configure enforcement stages for bundles and plans
sdd Enforce SDD quality gates against manifests and plans

specfact govern patch

Command Purpose
apply Preview and apply patches (local or upstream with --write)

Bundle-owned policy packs

Enforcement may ship bundle-local policy packs or presets with the package. Treat them as bundle payload referenced by the govern module, not as core CLI-owned configuration. Refresh IDE-facing resources with specfact init ide (core IDE prompts from installed modules). The Code Review bundle (nold-ai/specfact-code-review) provides specfact code review rules init --ide and specfact code review rules update --ide (e.g. --ide cursor, --ide claude, --ide codex, or --ide vibe; see --help) for the house-rules skill—install that bundle separately when you need those commands.
