Govern

Sleuth Skills keeps an append-only audit log of every install and team change, plus pre-built dashboards that show what your org is actually using.

Once you have assets published and distributed, the question becomes: is anyone actually using them, and can I reconstruct what happened? Sleuth Skills answers both through the Govern pillar.

The Govern section — Audit Log, AI Metrics, Adoption, Usage, and Leaderboards.

The two governance surfaces

Surface	Question it answers	Page
Audit log	Who changed what, and when?	Installs, uninstalls, team and bot changes, asset publications — every mutation. Append-only.
Usage metrics	Who is actually using these assets?	Pre-built dashboards for adoption, top assets, per-team rollups, leaderboards.

The audit log is the compliance record — it's what you reach for during an incident review or a security question. The usage dashboards are the adoption signal — they tell you which assets are earning their keep.

Pre-built and custom dashboards

Under Usage metrics, Sleuth Skills ships four pre-built dashboards — AI Metrics, Adoption, Usage, and Leaderboards — plus a fifth Start from scratch option for building your own. You can clone any preset into a new custom dashboard and extend it, add widgets backed by PQL queries, or ask the assistant to generate persistent charts and tables from a natural-language prompt. See Usage metrics for the full walkthrough.

Why both matter

Governance often means "compliance checkbox," but in Sleuth Skills the two surfaces work together to support real engineering decisions:

• A skill has low usage in the dashboard. Check the audit log — was it actually installed for the people who would benefit?

• A new rule went out org-wide and errors spiked. The audit log tells you when and who; the usage dashboard tells you whether engineers are bypassing or following it.

• Someone reports a surprising behavior. The audit log reconstructs the exact set of installs at that moment.

Default filters

Every Govern surface defaults to the organization scope and the last 30 days. You can narrow to a specific team, repository, user, or asset type using the Add filter control at the top of each page. The dashboards respond immediately; the audit log supports the same filters plus free-text event search.

Export

Both the audit log and dashboard data can be exported. The audit log has an Export CSV button in its header; dashboard widgets can be exported as CSV or cloned into a custom dashboard for sharing.

The CLI counterpart — sx audit --json and sx stats --json — returns the same data for git and path vaults; the Skills.new hosted vault delegates those commands to the server's aggregation API.
