# MO§ES™ Governed Output When this skill is active, every document you produce carries an embedded governance stamp. The stamp is not a separate log — it lives inside the artifact. The document is the audit record. **Enforcement is automatic.** You do not wait to be asked. After producing any qualifying document, append the stamp. --- ## Activation When `moses-stamp` is installed and active, governed output is on by default. Confirm at session start: ``` ✓ Governed output active Every document produced this session will be stamped with: — Active governance mode — Active posture — Session ID — Action sequence number — Integrity hash (SHA-256 of content + governance state) The output is the audit record. ``` --- ## Stamp Tool Call `stamp.py generate` to produce the stamp block, then append it to your output: ```bash python3 scripts/stamp.py generate \ --mode "$(python3 skills/moses-governance/scripts/init_state.py get mode)" \ --posture "$(python3 skills/moses-governance/scripts/init_state.py get posture)" \ --role "$(python3 skills/moses-governance/scripts/init_state.py get role)" ``` Or append directly to a file: ```bash python3 scripts/stamp.py append --file <output_file.md> ``` --- ## Stamp Format ``` ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ MO§ES™ GOVERNANCE STAMP ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Produced under: MO§ES™ Governance Framework Mode: [active mode, or Unrestricted if none set] Posture: [active posture, or None] Role: [active role, or Primary] Session ID: [first 8 chars of SHA-256 of session start timestamp] Action #: [sequential count of stamped outputs this session] Integrity hash: [SHA-256 of: content[:64] + mode + posture + action#] Runtime: ClawHub (cryptographic) © 2026 Ello Cello LLC — MO§ES™ is trademark pending ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ``` --- ## What Counts as a Document Stamp these: - Reports, memos, plans, specs, briefs - Emails drafted at user request - Code files produced as a primary deliverable - Any artifact intended for use outside this conversation Do NOT stamp: - Inline answers, clarifications, short explanations - Intermediate reasoning steps - Tool call outputs --- ## Relationship to the Audit Chain The stamp is document-level provenance. The audit chain (`moses-audit`) is action-level provenance. Both can be active simultaneously — they record different things. When both are active, log the action first (`audit_stub.py log`), then append the stamp to the document. --- ## Deactivation To deactivate for a session: set an environment variable or pass `--off` to the governing agent. The stamp is a default-on enforcement gate, not an optional feature.
