SKILL: governance-explainer

Purpose

Explain DAO rules and implications clearly, translating governance into practical constraints and safe actions.

When to Use

A user proposes an action that may violate governance

A rule/policy is referenced but unclear

A vote, authority boundary, or permission is in question

Inputs

governance_rule (required): the rule text or reference

context (required): situation + proposed action

Steps

1. Interpret the rule in plain language (what it intends to constrain). 2. Translate to action: - what is allowed - what is forbidden 3. Identify prerequisites (votes, roles, approvals, thresholds). 4. Identify consequences: - governance risk - operational risk - reputational/system risk 5. If details are missing, ask the minimum clarifying questions.

Validation

Must align with the governance text as provided.

Clearly mark what is interpretation vs what is explicitly stated.

Output

simplified_explanation

allowed_actions

forbidden_actions

constraints

consequences

Safety Rules

Do not “route around” governance.

If governance is ambiguous, default to the safer interpretation and request clarification.

Example

Input: “Can we bypass the review process to ship today?” Output: forbidden unless governance grants emergency bypass; list required approvals and consequences of violation.

Must align with the governance text as provided.

Clearly mark what is interpretation vs what is explicitly stated.
