# Governance handoff

## Read first

- Human source: [`../governance/issues.md`](../governance/issues.md)
- Repository rules: [`../../AGENTS.md`](../../AGENTS.md)

## Issue requirements

Every implementation issue is a thin, demoable vertical slice and includes:

- parent PRD;
- user stories;
- end-to-end outcome;
- acceptance criteria;
- dependencies and blocked-by links;
- test plan;
- documentation impact;
- explicit Definition of Done;
- HITL or AFK classification.
- upstream-adoption evidence and linked AgentsKit source changes where required.

Horizontal foundation work is allowed only when it produces a verifiable contract, fixture, gate, or developer-facing outcome.
