SKILL: Policy (org-skill-policy.org)

Architectural Intent: The Constitutional Layer

The Policy skill encodes the non-negotiable values of Passepartout. Every action the agent proposes must pass through this gate. If the action lacks justification, it is blocked — not because it's dangerous, but because it's opaque.

This is the "Radical Transparency" invariant in practice. The agent must explain why it wants to do something, not just what it wants to do. An action with :explanation "Because I said so" is rejected. An action with :explanation "The user asked me to read their TODO list and summarize it" passes.

The Policy skill is intentionally simple. It has one job: ensure every action has a meaningful explanation. Other security concerns (secret scanning, path blocking, network exfiltration) are handled by the Bouncer. The Policy is about values, not threats.

Implementation

Policy Logic (policy-compliance-check)

(defun policy-compliance-check (action context)
  "Enforces constitutional invariants on proposed actions."
  (declare (ignore context))
  (let* ((payload (proto-get action :payload))
         (explanation (proto-get payload :explanation)))
    (if (and explanation (stringp explanation) (> (length explanation) 10))
        action
        (progn
          (harness-log "POLICY VIOLATION: Action lacks sufficient explanation.")
          (list :type :LOG
                :payload (list :level :warn
                              :text "Action blocked: Missing or insufficient :explanation. Please justify your reasoning."))))))
