## What it does

The skill evaluates new AI laws or enforcement guidance against your organization. It checks applicability first, verifying jurisdiction, company thresholds, and builder versus deployer roles. If not applicable, analysis stops immediately. When relevant, the tool extracts substantive obligations directly from the legal text.

All checks rely on `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/ai-governance-legal/CLAUDE.md`. Without a documented use-case registry and policy commitments in this file, the diffing step cannot function. Requirements are organized into categories like transparency, human oversight, and vendor obligations.

Each gap receives an effort score and a risk rating. Gaps covering outright prohibitions and enforceable deadlines take top priority in the generated remediation plan. The final summary is saved as a dated Markdown file.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add anthropics/claude-for-legal --skill reg-gap-analysis -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/reg-gap-analysis/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/reg-gap-analysis/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add anthropics/claude-for-legal --skill reg-gap-analysis -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add anthropics/claude-for-legal --skill reg-gap-analysis -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/reg-gap-analysis/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

## When to use it
- determine if a new AI regulation applies to company systems
- diff legal requirements against the existing use-case registry
- build an AI compliance remediation plan with deadlines
- flag prohibited AI practices and high-risk regulatory obligations

## Example prompts
- /ai-governance-legal:reg-gap-analysis "EU AI Act high-risk provisions"
- /ai-governance-legal:reg-gap-analysis "Colorado AI Act deployer obligations"
- /ai-governance-legal:reg-gap-analysis "CFPB model risk guidance"

  Diff a new AI regulation or guidance against your current governance posture —
  surfaces gaps, priorities, and a remediation plan with owners and deadlines.
  Use when an AI regulation moves (or you learn about one you missed), or when
  user says "new reg just dropped", "does [regulation] affect us", "gap analysis
  for EU AI Act", "compliance check against [AI law or guidance]", or pastes

# /reg-gap-analysis

1. Read `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/ai-governance-legal/CLAUDE.md`. Confirm regulatory footprint and use case registry are populated.
2. Use the framework below.
3. Scope: does this regulation apply? (Jurisdiction, threshold, builder/deployer, sector.) If not, one line and done.
4. Extract requirements. Diff against current state in `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/ai-governance-legal/CLAUDE.md`.
5. Prioritize gaps. Output: remediation plan with must-do / should-do / already compliant / accepted gaps.
6. Save as dated markdown doc for the file.

```
/ai-governance-legal:reg-gap-analysis "EU AI Act high-risk provisions"

## Purpose

The EU AI Act goes live. Colorado passes an AI law. The CFPB issues model risk
guidance. The FTC publishes an AI enforcement policy. Something moves — and now
you need to know what, if anything, you have to change.

This skill diffs the new requirement against your current AI governance posture
(per `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/ai-governance-legal/CLAUDE.md` — use case registry, vendor positions, impact assessment practices,
and AI policy commitments) and produces a gap list with a remediation plan.

The AI regulatory landscape is moving faster than any other area of law right now.
When a regulation is genuinely ambiguous, say so. Don't paper over uncertainty —
legal teams need to know when they're on solid ground versus when they're making a
judgment call.

## Load current state

Read `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/ai-governance-legal/CLAUDE.md`:
- `## Regulatory footprint` — what already applies
- `## Use case registry` — what AI you're actually running, and under what conditions
- `## AI policy commitments` — what you've publicly or contractually committed to
- `## Vendor AI governance` — what vendor positions are in place
- `## Impact assessment house style` — what assessment practices exist

If the regulation clearly doesn't apply (wrong jurisdiction, below threshold,
wrong sector, builder/deployer distinction eliminates you from scope), say so
