Frontmatter Schemas

YAML frontmatter schemas for the governance artifacts Sherpa reads from your repository.

Every governance artifact is a markdown file with structured YAML frontmatter. These pages document each schema field by field.

  • Initiative — proposal status, lifecycle dates, risk, and relationships
  • Agent Role — disposition, quality bar, and dispatch eligibility
  • Workstream — grouping for related initiatives
  • Rule — glob patterns that control when conventions auto-load
