Compliance

Compliance is an engineering constraint only when it is translated into concrete controls, evidence, and release gates.

Context

Use this skill when regulatory duties, customer contracts, data handling rules, or internal controls materially affect architecture, delivery, or operations.

Inputs

• The relevant policy, contract, or regulatory requirement
• Affected systems, workflows, and environments
• Current evidence or control gaps

Process

Step 1: Identify the binding obligations

Separate binding requirements from preferences. Record the source and the affected system boundary.
