Keel Skills is MIT-licensed and actively seeks contributions. The two highest-value contributions are policy packs — ready-made AGENT_POLICY.md templates for new stacks — and implementations for other runtimes, bringing the Keel governance model to agent SDKs, CI gates, and other harnesses. Both are easy to start and immediately useful to the community.

How to contribute

Add a policy pack

Ready-made AGENT_POLICY.md for a new stack. Easy to start, very useful.

Build a Keel-compatible implementation

Implement the spec for another runtime (Agent SDK, CI gate, etc.).

Improve the spec

SPEC.md is a draft. Proposals to clarify or extend are welcome via GitHub issues and PRs.

Improve the skills

Improve the three skills (authorization-protocol, model-delegation, context-discipline) while keeping them generic and disjoint. Open a GitHub PR.

Ground rules

These rules apply to all contributions:
  • No telemetry or network calls are added without an explicit, documented, opt-in design.
  • Attribution: keep the MIT notice; a visible credit to Keel Skills by Esteban Aguilar is the norm (see the NOTICE file).
  • Discussion and questions: open a GitHub issue.

When improving skills

The three skills are the reference implementation of the Keel governance model. When editing them, follow these four rules:
  1. Keep them generic — no project-, client-, or company-specific data ever goes in a skill. That belongs in the consumer’s AGENT_POLICY.md.
  2. Keep each skill’s concept disjoint from the others — don’t blur authorization, delegation, and context discipline together.
  3. Update CHANGELOG.md and bump the version in plugin.json and .claude-plugin/marketplace.json together.
  4. Never blur authorization, delegation, and context discipline together — each skill owns one concept and one concept only.

License

Keel Skills is released under the MIT License. Attribution is preserved via the MIT notice and a NOTICE file. Commercial use is permitted. Forking, reimplementing, and building on Keel Skills are explicitly encouraged — the project’s goal is to become a shared standard for agent governance, and that only happens if the ecosystem is open.
