# consensus-guard-core

`consensus-guard-core` is the common policy engine behind the Consensus guard ecosystem.

## What this skill/package provides

- unified hard-block taxonomy
- deterministic `aggregateVotes()` policy function
- deterministic reputation update rules with clamping
- idempotency key generation for retry-safe execution
- strict-schema unknown-field rejection helpers
- indexed board read helpers for scalable artifact lookup

## Why this matters

Without a shared core, every guard drifts into incompatible policy logic. This package keeps behavior consistent, replayable, and comparable across domains.

## Ecosystem role

`consensus-guard-core` is consumed by publish/support/merge/action guards and should be treated as policy infrastructure, not an end-user workflow skill.

## Benefits for LLM orchestration

- lower integration drift
- consistent decision semantics across workflows
- easier auditing and cross-skill analytics

## Quick start

```bash
npm test
```
