Implementing Standard Conformance

Standard Conformance

Full-featured production-ready ACGP implementation.


Overview

Time to implement: ~1-2 days
Suitable for: Production systems, customer-facing agents
Recommended: This is the recommended level for most use cases

What You'll Build

  • Full ARS framework
  • All six intervention types (five primary levels plus orthogonal Flag)
  • Audit logging
  • Trust score tracking
  • Tripwire enforcement
  • Blueprint-based policies

Requirements

  • Minimal Conformance completed (or understanding of basics)
  • Logging infrastructure
  • Database for audit logs
  • ~1-2 days of development time

Implementation Guide

1. Enhanced Steward Configuration

steward = GovernanceSteward(
    conformance_level="standard",
    acl_tier="ACL-2",
    blueprint="production-v1",
    audit_log_handler=AuditLogHandler(db_connection),
    tripwires={
        "max_transaction": 1000,
        "daily_limit": 5000
    }
)

2. Comprehensive Trace Creation

trace = CognitiveTrace(
    reasoning="...",
    action="...",
    parameters={...},
    context={
        "user_id": "12345",
        "session_id": "abc",
        "timestamp": datetime.now()
    },
    metadata={
        "agent_version": "1.0",
        "model": "gpt-4"
    }
)

3. Full Intervention Handling

result = steward.evaluate(trace)

handlers = {
    "OK": execute_action,
    "NUDGE": log_and_execute,
    "FLAG": flag_and_execute,
    "ESCALATE": request_approval,
    "BLOCK": notify_block,
    "HALT": emergency_halt
}

handlers[result.intervention](trace, result)

4. Trust Score Management

# Get current trust
trust = steward.get_trust_score(agent_id)

# Track over time
steward.record_outcome(
    trace_id=trace.id,
    success=True,
    quality_score=0.95
)
