Turn prompts and patches into RFCs, ADRs, work items, and guarded delivery. --- govctl is a governance-as-code CLI for teams using AI to build software seriously. It gives AI-assisted development a control plane that lives in your repo: - RFCs say what must be true - ADRs record why a design was chosen - Work items track execution and acceptance criteria - Verification guards enforce executable completion gates - Conformance cases map reusable acceptance scenarios to versioned RFC requirements and guards The point is not bureaucracy. The point is that AI-generated changes become reviewable, traceable, and phase-gated . Why govctl Most AI coding tools optimize for generation. govctl optimizes for delivery. Without explicit governance, teams drift into the same pattern: - ideas jump straight into implementation - decisions live in chat history instead of artifacts - code and specs diverge silently - \"done\" means \"the agent stopped typing\", not \"the work passed verification\" govctl closes that gap by making governed artifacts, lifecycle, and verification part of the normal workflow. What Makes It Different 1. Spec-first by default govctl is built around the idea that implementation follows governed artifacts. In practice, that means: - RFCs describe externally relevant behavior and constraints - ADRs record design choices and trade-offs - work items execute against those artifacts - verification guards and lifecycle gates decide when wo","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/govctl-org","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/govctl-org/govctl/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
