Policy Authoring

Write, validate, and migrate Featherlane AI policy YAML.

The source-of-truth policy authoring guide lives in docs/policies/README.md so local files, the cloud policy API, and the docs site can refer to the same contract.

Read the complete policy authoring guide.

Policy lifecycle

Start there for:

the first-rule walkthrough

local-to-cloud migration notes

Set AI Usage Cost Caps

Add per-principal LLM spending caps, 80% alerts, and hard preflight enforcement to OpenAI-compatible Gateway traffic.

Guard modes

Choose whether Featherlane AI blocks, rewrites, or asks the model to regenerate unsafe drafts.
