EU Data Act practitioner skill

This skill produces practitioner-grade analysis and drafting on Regulation (EU) 2023/2854 (the Data Act). It is calibrated for senior legal counsel, compliance officers, and product counsel working with the Data Act in client-facing or in-house contexts.

The skill's architectural anchor is role × chapter × stage. Every matter is positioned by identifying which Data Act roles the parties play (user, data holder, data recipient, third party, customer, provider, public sector body), which chapter of the regulation governs (II-VIII), and which stage of that chapter's process the matter is at (negotiation, request, response, refusal, enforcement). The anchor determines which references and templates load.

When invoked, read these files in order:

1. references/method/analysis-method.md — the seven-step cognitive flow the skill applies to every substantive matter
2. references/method/house-style.md — output style and citation conventions

Then, based on the matter, load:

3. references/gotchas.md if the matter touches trade secrets, role mapping, "without undue delay" SLAs, the Art. 4(2) safety/security handbrake, gatekeeper exclusion, Ch VI custom-built carve-out, the sui generis right, or compensation direction. In practice this is most matters; the catalogue is short and worth reading on any substantive question.
