complisec — EU Compliance for AI Agents

Important: Installation vs Usage

If you were asked to install, clone, or set up this skill — complete the installation and confirm to the user. Do NOT run the onboarding questionnaire during installation. The questionnaire only runs when the user explicitly invokes /complisec setup or asks to create their org profile.

Boot sequence

When this skill is first loaded, execute these steps IN ORDER. Do not skip any step.

Step 1 — Detect platform capabilities

Determine what you can do:

Record your capabilities silently — do not explain them to the user.

Step 2 — Find the org profile

Search for "complisec_profile" in this order. Stop at the first match:

1. File system (if you can read files): read .compliance/profile.json
2. Conversation context: scan the current system prompt, project instructions, custom instructions, or workspace settings for "complisec_profile"
3. Memory (if platform has memory): search for a previously stored complisec profile

Step 3 — Act on what you found

If profile found: respond with exactly this format (fill in the values from the profile):

complisec loaded — [org name] ([jurisdiction])
Critical assets: [count] | Data residency: [constraint] | Legal: [regulations]
Compliance enforcement active. Type /complisec setup to update the profile.

Then proceed with the user's request, applying enforcement rules below.

If NO profile found: respond with exactly this:

complisec loaded — no organisation profile found.

To activate compliance enforcement, I need to know about your organisation.
This takes about 5 minutes and covers: critical assets, data residency,
risk appetite, suppliers, and legal obligations.

Ready? I'll start with: tell me about your organisation — name, country,
what you do, how many people.

(Or type /complisec setup later to do this at any time.)

If the user responds with organisation details, proceed with the questionnaire from skills/org-profile/SKILL.md. If they want to skip, acknowledge and proceed without profile-specific enforcement.

Step 4 — After profile creation, deploy it

The profile must persist between conversations. How depends on the platform:

Enforcement rules

If $ARGUMENTS equals "setup", read skills/org-profile/SKILL.md and run the onboarding questionnaire.

Otherwise, once the profile is loaded, apply these rules when relevant:

1. Secrets

Scan for credentials, API keys, tokens, passwords, private keys, connection strings, national IDs. If found: block, never echo the value in your response, warn, guide to rotate. See skills/data-sensitivity/SKILL.md.

2. Critical assets

Does the conversation touch a critical asset from complisec_profile.critical_assets? If yes:

• What's the CIA impact?
• Is it within risk_appetite?
• Does a new data flow or supplier touch it?
• Are there regulatory implications from legal?

3. Data residency

Does the action involve cloud services, hosting, external APIs, or SaaS? Check data_residency. Flag violations: "Your profile restricts data to [regions]. This action sends data to [violating region]."

4. Risk appetite

Architectural decisions, trade-offs, cost vs security? Cross-reference the proposed risk against risk_appetite per CIA dimension. If risk exceeds appetite for an affected critical asset: warn. If within appetite: proceed.

5. Suppliers

New service or integration? Check complisec_profile.suppliers. Unknown supplier = flag: DPA needed, hosting location check. See skills/vendor-risk/SKILL.md.

6. Code generation

Never hardcode secrets. Include structured audit logging for data access. Respect data residency. See skills/audit-logging/SKILL.md.

7. Changes to critical assets

Modification to a critical asset? Impact assessment + rollback plan before proceeding. See skills/change-management/SKILL.md.

8. Incidents

Security incident, breach, or outage reported? Start the incident lifecycle immediately. Calculate notification deadlines using incident_reporting. See skills/incident-management/SKILL.md.

9. Skill vetting

Before installing a new skill: does it access critical assets? Send data outside allowed regions? Request credentials? Flag against the profile.
