 - **Supply-chain-grade trust.** Sigstore signing, in-toto/DSSE attestations, CycloneDX/SPDX SBOMs and reviewer approvals, so "what prompt is actually running in production" has a verifiable answer.
 - **Org-wide policy, not just repo config.** A central [policy](docs/policy.md) sets tighten-only floors; `verify` and CI gates enforce it everywhere.
 
-| Stage | What happens | Commands | Docs |
-| ----- | ------------ | -------- | ---- |
-| **Author** | Rules, context, skills, agents, commands and checks as markdown in `.ai-rulez/`, with domains, profiles, roles and includes. `.ai-rulez/` is an [OKF](docs/okf.md) bundle: OKF is the internal format, and `init`, `add` and the MCP tools write it. A pre-OKF tree still loads, with a deprecation notice; `migrate okf` converts it. Or keep `AGENTS.md` and `.agents/` as the source with `source = "agents"`: ai-rulez translates them to every other tool and never writes into them ([guide](docs/agents-source.md)). | `init`, `add`, `convert`, `import`, `migrate okf` | [Author](docs/configuration.md) |
-| **Generate** | Native files for 52 harnesses (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Devin, Kilo and more), per project or per user. | `generate`, `doctor`, `clean` | [Harnesses](docs/harnesses.md) |
-| **Bundle** | Distributable plugin bundles, an Agent Plugins package, an OKF bundle, an ARD manifest, `AGENTS.md` and `llms.txt`. | `generate --plugin`, `export okf` | [Plugins](docs/plugins.md) |
-| **Lint and validate** | Content and security checks with stable `AR` codes, plus each standard's own schema or rules. Works in a repository with no ai-rulez config (`--path`, `--glob` and `--outputs` pick what to lint); `judge` grades instruction files with a model, also without config. | `validate`, `scan`, `judge`, `okf validate`, `verify` | [Validate](docs/strict-validation.md) |
-| **Govern** | A content-pinning lock, reviewer approvals, Sigstore signing, an organization policy and an SBOM. | `lock`, `approve`, `sign`, `verify --attestation`, `sbom` | [Trust model](docs/trust-model.md) |
-| **Publish** | Reproducible, checksummed release artifacts to GitHub releases, npm, OCI and marketplaces. | `publish` | [Publish](docs/publish.md) |
