AI agents do not only need better instructions.
They need stop signs.
That is one of the clearest reasons Ota exists as software execution governance for humans and AI agents. A repo should not merely tell an agent what it can try. It should declare what the agent must not do, when it must stop, and what requires human approval.
Prompts and AGENTS.md files are useful. They give agents context: how the project is organized, what style to follow, how to summarize changes, and which areas need caution.
But advice is not a boundary.
