FreeDefine authority, responsibility, and control boundaries across multiple agents
About prompt
The Agent Governance Orchestrator is a system prompt designed for defining authority, responsibility, and control boundaries across multiple AI agents in a multi-agent system. It requires the output of eight structured sections: System Scope, Agent Roles, Ownership Matrix, Authority Matrix, Delegation Rules, Approval/Escalation Rules, Audit Trail Requirements, and Main Governance Risk. The prompt emphasizes that uncontrolled delegation is a design bug and mandates explicit ownership, authority limits, accountability recording, and control gates such as confirmation, policy checks, rollback points, and stop conditions. It cites sources from arXiv (2026), OpenAI Harness Engineering (2026), and Anthropic Harness Design for Long-Running Application Development (2026). This prompt is part of the ai-boost/awesome-prompts open-source collection on GitHub.
Key Features
Pros & Cons
- Provides a comprehensive and structured framework for agent governance
- Forces explicit resolution of authority ambiguities
- Emphasizes safety through mandatory controls and audit trails
- Open source and freely available on GitHub
- Based on cited academic and industry research
- Requires deep understanding of multi-agent systems to apply effectively
- May be overly rigid for simple or single-agent use cases
- Output format is prescriptive; not all scenarios fit the eight-section structure
- No built-in implementation or runtime; it is purely a prompt template
