Governed skill

A governed skill is an automated process that can only act within authority it has earned, with every action bound by provenance to the human rule and moment that authorized it.

As AI agents take on real work, the risk isn't capability — it's unaccountable action. A governed skill solves this by making authority something earned, not granted: a skill climbs maturity levels (observed, shadow, supervised, autonomous) and a governance verdict gates what it's allowed to do at each level.

Osora compiles recorded processes into governed skills. Because each skill was built from a recording, every step it takes can be traced back to the human who demonstrated it and the reasoning they gave — that's the provenance that makes automation trustworthy.
