# AI Agent SLA And Customer Commitments

## Operating contract

## Inputs

| Input | Required | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Domain evidence | yes | service boundary, customer tier, measurable SLI data, support coverage, exclusions, and credit policy |

## Outputs

- Produce: SLA schedule, SLI/SLO definitions, dashboard specification, breach workflow, and customer evidence.

## Capability and permission boundaries

Default to read-only analysis. Read only scoped records; redact secrets and regulated data. Writes, execution, network calls, production configuration, customer communication, billing changes, and delegation require explicit authority and an identified owner. Never widen tenant, time-window, or system scope implicitly.

## Degraded mode

When required telemetry, evidence, execution, network access, or write authority is unavailable, return a partial result with each unassessed item labelled, preserve the safest existing state, and state the evidence or approval needed to continue. Never convert missing evidence into a pass.

## Decision rules

| Condition | Action |
|---|---|
| Scope, owner, or threshold is missing | Stop the affected decision and request it |
| Evidence is incomplete but read-only analysis is safe | Produce a qualified partial result and gap list |
| A mutation exceeds authority or tenant boundary | Block it and route for approval |
| Evidence meets the stated threshold | Issue the output with provenance and owner |

## Anti-Patterns

- Treating absent evidence as success. Fix: mark the check unassessed and name the missing source.
- Expanding one tenant or workflow to all tenants. Fix: enforce supplied scope at every query and action.
- Performing a production write during analysis. Fix: emit a reviewed change plan until authority is explicit.
- Reporting a metric without population, window, or source. Fix: attach all three.
- Hiding a failed threshold inside an average. Fix: report failure slices and the remediation owner.

## Use When

- Define agent availability, completion, response-time, quality, and support commitments.
- Design SLA credit automation and customer-facing service dashboards.
- Map agent task evidence to support, credits, renewals, and account reviews.

## Do Not Use When

- The work is not AI-specific or agentic-AI-specific.
- A narrower retained AI parent skill fits the request better.

## Required Inputs

- Product, tenant, user, data, risk, and operational context relevant to the AI workflow.
- Target artifact: design, implementation plan, audit, test strategy, UX flow, commercial policy, or runbook.
- Constraints from security, privacy, reliability, billing, support, and compliance stakeholders when relevant.

## Workflow

1. Read this SKILL.md first.
2. Load [references/routing.md](references/routing.md) to select the absorbed child reference that matches the task.
3. Load only the selected child reference files needed for the current request.
4. Produce execution-oriented output with assumptions, risks, evidence, and next actions where relevant.

## Quality Standards

- Keep routing explicit: name which reference files were used when the work depends on absorbed material.
- Preserve tenant isolation, auditability, cost controls, safety gates, and operational evidence when they matter.
- Prefer concrete contracts, checklists, tables, schemas, runbooks, and decision records over broad summaries.

## Anti-Patterns

- Loading every absorbed reference by default.
- Treating AI-specific billing, compliance, safety, or UX concerns as generic SaaS work without checking AI failure modes.
- Hiding retired skill names; old slugs must remain discoverable through [references/routing.md](references/routing.md).

## Outputs

- A concrete deliverable matched to the request: architecture, implementation plan, audit, policy, runbook, UX flow, test strategy, or operating model.
- The selected consolidated reference files and any assumptions, risks, evidence requirements, or follow-up actions that affect execution.
## References

- [references/routing.md](references/routing.md) maps retired child skill slugs to their consolidated reference folders.

## Consolidated Child References

- Load [references/routing.md](references/routing.md) to map retired AI child skill slugs to their reference modules.
