Project Governance System
Project Governance System is a governance layer for AI-era projects. It does not replace Git or engineering workflows; it solves the quieter problem that appears when humans and AI agents work together over time: rules, plans, specs, and current truth cannot become a pile nobody dares to touch.
How it relates to the guide
The guide argues that ordinary people need technical access and exits. PGS is the infrastructure version of that principle: it tells projects what rules exist, where to read, when old work retires, and how to avoid letting AI make the project messier over time.
Why build it
AI agents are excellent at generating files. Without governance, a few rounds later you get duplicate plans, stale specs, conflicting READMEs, and nobody knows which document to trust. PGS turns document truth from memory into something checkable.
What makes it strong
It connects AGENTS startup rules, docs layers, SSOT, lifecycle, agent routing, and validation commands into one thin governance layer. A project can keep moving fast, but every iteration has signs, shelves, and an archive exit.
What comes next
The CLI is published to NPM as @pieai/doc-gov. The public stable path is checks, scan, links, audit, router-check, doctor, and read-only migration checks. Future improvements should come from real projects proving the rules.
