Submissions:


Overview

Three merged contributions to GitHub's awesome-copilot repository (21.6K ⭐) adding governance capabilities for Copilot-based agent systems.


1. Agent Governance Skill (PR #755) ✅

Governance patterns skill teaching Copilot how to build safer AI agent systems:

  • Deny-by-default policy model

  • Framework integration examples

2. Governance Audit Hook (PR #756) ✅

Two components:
