Govern Your Agents

One agent, two governance problemsA Copilot agent fails governance in two places, and they are not the same place.The first is the name. Get it wrong and the agent disappears into a four-thousand-row inventory of New Agent and cr8a3_copilot1 that no auditor can sort. The schema name locks at creation, so there is no rename later.The second is the instructions. Get those wrong and the agent drifts off task, answers things it should refuse, or quietly does work nobody approved. A perfectly named agent with sloppy instructions is still a liability.This bundle covers both. They are a pair, and the book that anchors it says so in its own back matter: one governs the name, the other governs what the agent does once it has one.What is in the bundleNaming the Swarm — $39 valueThe governance-first naming convention for M365 Copilot agents. The two-name model (immutable schema name vs editable display name), the canonical system-name regex, the four enforcement points that make a name right before the agent exists, and the framework to design your own convention if the ready-to-adopt one does not fit. Ships as a 125-page PDF and an EPUB, with a five-piece toolkit: rule card, validator, intake field spec, abbreviation dictionary, and retrofit worksheet.Agent Instruction Block Design Guide — $19 valueThe instruction patterns for building agents that actually hold. Twelve reusable instruction-block patterns for scoping an agent, setting its refusals, keeping it on task, and wiring the description and knowledge sources so generative orchestration reads them correctly. Paste-ready, sector-neutral, built from real agent deployments.Together they are the full control surface: the name an auditor sorts on, and the behavior a reviewer can trust.Who this is for- Copilot Studio CoE leads standing up an intake and review gate- Power Platform and M365 admins governing agents at scale- AI champions who own both "what do we call it" and "what is it allowed to do"- Platform teams that need naming and instruction standards their makers will actually followWhy buy the bundleIf you are governing agents, you need both controls, and you need them to agree. The naming convention tells your intake form what to generate; the instruction patterns tell it what to require in the description and refusals. Buying them together gets you the matched pair at a lower price than buying them one at a time, and it is the natural setup for the full rollout in the M365 Copilot Deployment Kit if you go that far.Pricing$47 for both. They are $58 bought separately. Free updates on both re-deliver through Gumroad when the platform shifts. Team use included inside your org.Prefer one at a time? Naming the Swarm and the Agent Instruction Block Design Guide are both available standalone on the store.Frequently asked questionsDo I get two separate downloads?Yes. The bundle delivers both products: the Naming the Swarm package (book in PDF, EPUB, and HTML, plus the toolkit) and the Agent Instruction Block Design Guide.I already own one of these. Can I just get the other?Yes. Buy the one you are missing standalone. The bundle is only the discount for getting both at once.Is this tied to a sector or a specific tenant?No. Both use neutral, universal examples (the book uses the fictional org Contoso). You map them onto your own org without translation.Is this the same as the M365 Copilot Deployment Kit?No. This bundle is the two governance controls for agents specifically: naming and instructions. The Deployment Kit ($97) is the full Copilot rollout: the field guide, the 90-day adoption roadmap, the governance checklist, the ROI template, and the agent templates. If you are running a whole deployment, the Kit is the upgrade. If you are governing the agents themselves, start here.Kesslernity builds governed AI agents and the controls that keep them auditable at enterprise scale.store.kesslernity.com · kesslernity.com · 2026Licensed, not sold.
