Runtime governance for agentic development
Agentic coding tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and Aider can act across files, sessions, and tools faster than any reviewer can read. Runtime governance is what gives those agents the right to act, the obligation to ask, and the discipline to carry forward what a human already decided.
What changes inside the harness
agent proposes → substrate intercepts → human judgment scoped → promotion gate → next session inherits the answer
The lifecycle is portable. CGG proves it locally; Ubiquity carries the same primitives into deeper substrate when flat-file governance runs out.

This is a leaf of the ladder.This is
- Governance that lives inside the agentic coding harness itself.
- Plan Mode interception, scoped promotion gates, cross-session lesson compounding.
- Portable across harnesses — Claude Code today, others as the grammar generalizes.
This is not
- A linter, formatter, or CI rule.
- An IDE plugin marketplace.
- A code-review SaaS bolted on after the fact.
Frequently asked
- Where does this actually run?
- Context Grapple Gun runs locally over flat files inside a Claude Code project. Ubiquity is the deeper substrate the same primitives extend into when flat-file governance is no longer enough.
- Is this a Claude Code plugin?
- CGG is portable governance proven inside Claude Code. The grammar is intentionally not Claude-specific — the substrate primitives generalize.
- Does this slow agents down?
- It moves the cost of review. Instead of approving every action, the substrate carries forward the answers humans already gave, so the agent asks at the edge of earned trust rather than at every action.
- What does an engineer notice day one?
- Recurring lessons stop disappearing between sessions. The agent stops re-deriving the same architectural decision. Plan Mode becomes a place where governance happens, not a checkbox.
