Implementation Guides¶

Choose an alpha implementation path and use ACGP-6 as the authoritative source for claim and badge semantics.

Implementation Paths¶

Claimable now: Standard
Optional additive badge: Regulated Controls Badge
Non-conformant runtime mode: Dev Mode

Standard Profile

Standard

ARS scoring, CTQ evaluation, basic tripwires, and five primary intervention levels plus orthogonal flag. Standard-profile alpha governance.

Time: ~1-2 days

Claim scope

Standard is the only active claimable profile in alpha. Regulated Controls Badge is additive, and Dev Mode is a non-conformant runtime mode.

Implementation Steps¶

Follow these guides in order:

Step 1: Write Your First Blueprint¶

Blueprint Usage — author policy in blueprints and evaluate it through GovernanceSteward

Step 2: Connect to Your Framework¶

Integration Walkthrough — end-to-end from install to verification

Step 3: Reach Standard Conformance¶

Implementing Conformance — full profile implementation

Step 4: Production Hardening¶

Error Handling — intervention and exception handling
Intervention Execution Mode — active/passive execution semantics, downgrade handling, and HITL implications
Observability — metrics, trust debt, audit exports
Security Hardening — transport, signing, access control
Performance Tuning — latency optimization
Troubleshooting — common issues and solutions

Optional: Runtime Governance Contracts Extension¶

Implementing Runtime Governance Contracts — per-action risk/latency negotiation

Choosing your starting point

graph TD
  A[Need governance?] -->|Yes| B{What's your goal?}
  A -->|No| Z[No ACGP needed]

  B -->|Learning/Development| D[Dev Mode Quickstart]
  B -->|Production deployment| C{Need performance SLAs?}

  C -->|Yes, different latency per risk| E[Standard Quickstart]
  C -->|No, uniform latency OK| F{User-facing?}

  F -->|Yes| G[Standard Recommended]
  F -->|No, batch jobs| H[Dev Mode acceptable]

Claim Routing¶

Use these guides to implement the runtime. For claim wording, badge scope, and non-claimable Safety-Critical material retained in alpha docs, defer to ACGP-6.
