/gz-ontology¶
Image the governance shape with the read-only ontology sonar. Use to sweep the current structural shape, trace a node's lineage, diff versus the last sweep (the airlock re-sense gate), or read a node's downstream blast-radius before reasoning about lineage.
Purpose¶
/gz-ontology exposes the canonical gz-ontology workflow for operator invocation. Wield the gz ontology read-only sonar (ADR-0.32.0) — a Tier-B derived projection, never authority — to image the actual shape of governance lineage instead of reasoning from stale docs.
When to Use¶
Invoke this skill when the task described above matches your current workflow stage. The governance runbook at docs/governance/governance_runbook.md lists the canonical workflows and points at this skill where appropriate.
What to Expect¶
The skill reads its canonical execution contract from .gzkit/skills/gz-ontology/SKILL.md (mirrored into .claude/skills/, .agents/skills/, and .github/skills/). Follow the agent-facing instructions in that file for the exact execution protocol, stages, and evidence requirements.
