EU AI Governance Plugin

Classify your first AI system in 90 seconds.

A Claude plugin for in-house legal, compliance, and AI governance teams. The August 2026 high-risk deadline is less than four months away. This plugin gets you from "what AI do we actually have?" to a classified inventory, vendor redlines, and auditor-ready evidence, without another SaaS login.

I use this plugin daily on paid client mandates. That's why the regulatory content stays current the day new guidance drops, and why the DACH specifics, Works Council under BetrVG, BaFin, BSI, are actually right.

Why this exists

The EU AI Act is live. Prohibited practices are already banned. GPAI transparency obligations are in effect. High-risk AI system obligations kick in August 2026. Anthropic's legal plugin handles generic GDPR and contract work. This plugin handles what it doesn't:

• AI Act risk classification (is your system high-risk?)
• Provider vs. deployer obligations (what's YOUR responsibility?)
• Fundamental rights impact assessments
• AI inventory and documentation requirements
• Works council considerations for AI systems (mandatory in DACH)
• Schrems II transfer impact assessments for AI model providers

Works standalone or alongside Anthropic's legal plugin.

How It Classifies AI Risk

The plugin uses a multi-gate decision framework aligned to the EU AI Act:

flowchart TD
    A["AI System Description"] --> B{"Gate 1: Prohibited?<br/>(Article 5)"}
    B -->|Yes| C["PROHIBITED<br/>Immediate escalation"]
    B -->|No| D{"Gate 2A: Safety component<br/>of regulated product?<br/>(Annex I)"}
    D -->|Yes| E["HIGH-RISK<br/>(Annex I)"]
    D -->|No| F{"Gate 2B: High-risk<br/>use case?<br/>(Annex III)"}
    F -->|Yes| G["HIGH-RISK<br/>(Annex III)"]
    F -->|No| H{"Gate 2C: GPAI Model?<br/>(Articles 51-56)"}
    H -->|Yes| I["GPAI OBLIGATIONS<br/>apply at model level"]
    H -->|No| J{"Gate 3: Transparency<br/>duties?<br/>(Article 50)"}
    J -->|Yes| K["LIMITED RISK<br/>Transparency obligations"]
    J -->|No| L["MINIMAL RISK<br/>Voluntary codes of conduct"]
