The current product exposes them as policy definitions under `Compliance` -> `Policies`. ## What A Policy Is In Today’s Product A policy is: * A named definition * Optional description * Markdown-style policy content * A versioned record with history This is closer to durable operational guidance than to a standalone rule engine UI. ## What You Can Do The current UI supports: * Create from scratch * Start from a template * Edit and version a policy * Duplicate or deactivate it * Inspect history and processed metadata The detail view also shows whether the policy has been processed successfully. ## Good Uses Use a custom policy when you need Cloudgeni to remember local standards such as: * Naming conventions * Required tags or labels * Repository structure expectations * Internal security guardrails Keep the policy short and specific. Long narrative documents are harder for both people and tools to apply consistently. ## What Not To Assume Do not describe custom policies as if they were a separate enforcement engine with their own large runtime surface. In the current product they are reusable guidance artifacts that feed Cloudgeni’s workflows. ## Related Pages Use policies to give agent sessions better organization-specific context. Pair policies with PR review workflows when review standards need to be repeatable.
