Commands

governance list

List all available governances:

npx cyberplace@<version> governance list
npx cyberplace@<version> governance list --format agent
npx cyberplace@<version> governance list --format json

governance show

Display a governance document. Agents read stdout — do not parse it as data; treat it as normative text.

# Show a governance (human-readable)
npx cyberplace@<version> governance show skill-design

# For agents (terse, lower token cost)
npx cyberplace@<version> governance show skill-design --format agent

# Structured (name, title, body)
npx cyberplace@<version> governance show skill-design --format json

Options:

Flag	Description
--format <format>	text (default), agent, or json

Available governances

Name	Description
skill-design	Rules for authoring SKILL.md files
skill-repo-structure	Rules for organizing a skill repository
agent-tool-output	Rules for CLI and script output consumed by agents
cli-resolution	Rules for invoking a Node CLI from a skill
universal-plugin	Format spec for plugins that work across Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex

See the Governances section for full details on each.

Versioning

Governance content is frozen to the installed cyberplace version. Running governance show with a pinned version always returns the same document, making it safe to reference in hooks and CI.
