# Governance

How this marketplace is maintained, what you can expect from upstream, and how it's meant to be used.

## TL;DR

- Solo-maintained, AI-assisted development, MIT licensed.
- **Fork-and-own is the default model.** Upstream is a starting point, not a vendor.
- Issues welcome as signals. Pull requests are not accepted — see [Why no PRs](#pull-requests--no).
- No SLA. Best-effort bug fixes and security advisories. Breaking changes happen and are noted in each plugin's CHANGELOG.

---

## Can I trust this?

Be honest with yourself about what you're adopting:

- **One maintainer.** If I get hit by a bus, the bus wins. The repos stay up under MIT, but no one owes you a fix.
- **AI-generated code with human review.** Every plugin is built through dialog-driven development with Claude Code. I read, test, and judge the output before it ships, but I'm not auditing every line the way a security firm would. Treat it accordingly.
- **No commercial interests.** I'm not selling a SaaS, not steering you toward a paid tier, not collecting telemetry. The plugins run locally in your Claude Code installation.
- **MIT licensed.** Fork it, modify it, ship it under your own name.

If you work somewhere that needs vendor accountability, support contracts, or signed assurances — **this isn't that.** Use it as a reference implementation, fork it into your own organization, and own the result.

## How this is meant to be used

### Fork-and-own

The intended workflow:

1. **Fork** the marketplace (or a single plugin) into your own organization or namespace.
2. **Tailor** it to your context — terminology, integrations, cycle lengths, regulatory framing, whatever doesn't fit out of the box.
3. **Maintain it yourself.** Treat your fork as the canonical version for your team.
4. **Watch upstream selectively.** Cherry-pick changes that help, ignore changes that don't. There's no obligation to stay in sync.

This isn't a workaround for not accepting PRs. It's the actual recommended adoption pattern, especially for plugins like `okr` and `ms-ai-architect` where every Norwegian public sector organization will need its own tildelingsbrev mappings, terminology, and integrations. A central "one true plugin" would be wrong for everyone.

### What to change first when you fork

Each plugin differs, but the common edits are:

- **Identity** — rename the plugin, replace authorship, update README.
- **External integrations** — issue trackers, knowledge bases, dashboards, observability backends. The plugins ship as starting points, not pre-wired. Every organization must configure its own integrations.
- **Norwegian-specific framing** — relevant for `okr` and `ms-ai-architect`. Other plugins are jurisdiction-neutral. Rewrite for your jurisdiction if you're outside Norway.
- **Reference docs** — the knowledge base in each plugin reflects my reading. Replace with your organization's authoritative sources.
- **Hooks and policies** — security thresholds, blocked commands, and audit gates are tuned to my taste. Tune them to yours.

### Staying current with upstream

If you want to pull in upstream changes later:

- **Cherry-pick, don't merge.** Each plugin moves independently and breaking changes land without ceremony.
- **Read the CHANGELOG first.** Every plugin has one.
- **Keep your customizations in clearly-named files.** The harder upstream is to merge cleanly, the more painful staying current becomes. A `local/` directory or `*.local.md` convention helps.

## What upstream provides

| | What I do | What I don't |
|---|---|---|
| **Bug fixes** | Best-effort when I notice or get a clear report | No SLA, no triage commitment |
| **Security issues** | Investigate within reasonable time, document in CHANGELOG | No CVE process, no embargo coordination |
| **New features** | When they fit my own usage | Not on request |
| **Norwegian public sector context** | Kept current as long as the project lives | If I lose interest or change jobs, the framing freezes |
| **Breaking changes** | Documented in CHANGELOG | They happen — version pin if you need stability |
| **Compatibility** | Tracked against current Claude Code releases | No long-term support branches |

If any of this is a dealbreaker — fork now, version-pin, and stop reading upstream.

## How to contribute

### Issues — yes, please

Issues are the most valuable thing you can send me:

- **Bug reports** with reproduction steps. Even a screenshot helps.
- **Use-case feedback.** "I tried to use this in my organization and X didn't fit" is genuinely useful, even if I can't fix it for you.
- **Pointers to better sources.** If you know a DFØ veileder, an NSM guideline, or an academic paper that contradicts what's in a knowledge base, tell me.
- **Security findings.** See each plugin's `SECURITY.md` for disclosure preference where one exists; otherwise email rather than open a public issue.

### Pull requests — no

This is deliberate, not laziness:

- **Solo review is a bottleneck.** Honest PR review takes me longer than rewriting from scratch. The math doesn't work.
- **Forks are where the value is.** The fork-and-own model means upstream consolidation isn't the point. Your organization's adaptations belong in your fork, not mine.
- **AI-generated code complicates provenance.** Every line here is produced through dialog with Claude Code, with me as the judge. Mixing in PRs from contributors with different processes and licensing assumptions creates a mess I'd rather not untangle.

If you've built something useful on top of a fork, **publish it under your own name and link back.** I'll happily list notable forks here once they exist.

### Notable forks

*(To be populated as forks emerge. If you've forked one of these plugins for production use, open an issue and I'll add a link.)*

## Relationship between plugins

These plugins are **independent**. Install one without the others, fork one without the others. They share conventions (slash command naming, hook patterns, AI-generated disclosure) but no runtime dependencies.

The marketplace is a **catalog**, not a suite. Don't fork the whole repo unless you actually want to maintain everything.

---

## Versioning and stability

- **Semantic versioning per plugin.** Each plugin has its own `CHANGELOG.md` and version number.
- **Breaking changes happen.** I bump the major version when they do, but I don't run an LTS branch.
- **Pin your version.** If stability matters more than features, install a specific version and stay there until you choose to upgrade.

## Public sector adoption notes

For Norwegian etater specifically:

- **DPIA-relevant data flows are documented in the relevant plugin README where applicable.** Read them before installation.
- **No data leaves your machine** beyond what Claude Code itself sends to Anthropic. The plugins themselves do not call external services unless you configure an integration.
- **Drøftingsplikt and ledelsesansvar** are not replaced by these tools. The `okr` plugin coaches; it does not decide. The `ms-ai-architect` plugin advises; it does not approve.
- **Choose your Claude deployment carefully.** claude.ai vs. API direct vs. Bedrock in EU region have different data residency profiles. The plugins don't choose for you.
