AI Agent Regulator Overlap Mapping Skill

Use when crosswalking AI-agent controls and evidence across two or more regulatory or assurance regimes while exposing divergent obligations. Use each regime's control pack for authoritative detail and evidence-pack-spec for handling requirements.

AI Agent Regulator Overlap Mapping Skill

Use When

Use when crosswalking AI-agent controls and evidence across two or more regulatory or assurance regimes while exposing divergent obligations. Use each regime's control pack for authoritative detail and evidence-pack-spec for handling requirements.

Do Not Use When

Do not use as the sole reference for any one regime — use it alongside the per-regime control pack. Do not treat the overlap as automatic; gaps shall be identified explicitly per row.
Do not use this skill to fabricate missing project facts, legal conclusions, test results, approvals, or certification claims.

Required Inputs

Artefact	Source or provider	Required?	Missing-input behaviour
Target sources: AI_Agent_SOC2_Control_Pack.md, AI_Agent_ISO27001_Control_Pack.md, AI_Agent_HIPAA_Control_Pack.md, AI_Act_And_Regulatory_Compliance_Doc.md, NIST AI RMF mapping, AI_Data_Flow_And_DPIA.md, BAA/DPA addendum templates, regional regulator guidance documents (KE ODPC AI guidance 2024; NG NDPC advisory 2024; ZA POPIA s.71; UG DPPA 2019; RW DP Law 2021).	Project owner, approved workspace artefacts, or accountable control owner	Yes	Stop dependent claims; list the missing item, owner, and consequence. For review checks, record `not assessed`.
Scope, audience, baseline/version, and accountable decision owner	Requester or project context	Yes	Ask for or record the gap; do not infer authority or scope.

Capability and permission boundaries

Default to read-only. Read and search access to the supplied artefacts are required. Execute only non-mutating validation when authorised; editing remediation, publishing, signature, certification, production mutation, destructive action, spending, and risk acceptance require explicit authority.

Degraded Mode

When files, tools, network, rendering, fonts, execution, or evidence are unavailable, return the narrowest useful qualified draft or finding set. Name every unavailable check and its consequence; an unassessed check is never a pass. Preserve evidence already gathered and provide the exact next verification step.

Decision Rules

Condition	Action	Failure or risk avoided
Required evidence is missing or inaccessible	Mark the check not assessed, state impact, and stop any pass decision	False assurance from an incomplete review
Evidence supports the stated criterion	Record the finding and traceable rationale without mutating sources	Unrepeatable review conclusions

Workflow

Confirm the requested artefact, audience, scope, decision owner, and applicable baseline or version. Work read-only by default; source mutation, publication, signature, certification, production change, or risk acceptance requires explicit authority.
Inspect every required input and record missing, stale, conflicting, or inaccessible evidence. Stop claims that depend on an unresolved required input.
Apply the Decision Rules, then execute the existing Core Instructions below in order; preserve project terminology and trace each material statement to its source.
Test the draft against the output acceptance conditions and domain quality standards. If a check cannot run, mark it not assessed and never convert it into a pass.
On failure, recover by preserving completed evidence, identifying the narrowest corrective action and owner, and rerunning only the affected checks before handoff.
Produce the named artefact and evidence record; publish, sign, certify, mutate production, or accept risk only under explicit authority.

Outputs

Artefact	Consumer	Observable acceptance condition
AI Agent Regulator Overlap Mapping	Accountable reviewer, control owner, auditor, or release authority	Every control area shall map to every applicable regime. Shared-evidence cells shall name the evidence artefact. Divergent-evidence cells shall name the additional requirement. EU AI Act high-risk and prohibited classifications shall be cross-linked. Updates triggered by framework change shall be timestamped.
Gap and decision record	Accountable owner and downstream reviewer	Every gap has status, impact, owner, next action, and no unsupported pass or approval.

Evidence Produced

Evidence	Contents	Acceptance condition
AI Agent Regulator Overlap Mapping evidence record	Source identifiers, scope/version, decisions, checks, exceptions, and approval state	A reviewer can reproduce each material conclusion from named sources.
Validation record	Check, result (`pass`, `fail`, or `not assessed`), evidence location, date, and actor	No required check is omitted or silently treated as passed.

Quality Standards

Every control area shall map to every applicable regime. Shared-evidence cells shall name the evidence artefact. Divergent-evidence cells shall name the additional requirement. EU AI Act high-risk and prohibited classifications shall be cross-linked. Updates triggered by framework change shall be timestamped.
Use deterministic acceptance conditions and preserve traceability from source to decision and output.
Separate facts, inferences, assumptions, and approvals; never present one as another.
Apply 28-anti-ai-slop during authoring and 29-ai-slop-audit at major checkpoints and release.

Anti-Patterns

Producing AI Agent Regulator Overlap Mapping from assumptions instead of named project sources. Fix: Cite the source or mark the item unverified.
Treating a missing or inaccessible check as passed. Fix: Mark it not assessed, state impact, and block dependent claims.
Using vague gates such as adequate, secure, or user-friendly. Fix: Replace each with an observable criterion, threshold, and evidence source.
Copying a generic template without product, control, role, version, or jurisdiction detail. Fix: Ground every section in the supplied context and remove unused boilerplate.
Publishing, signing, certifying, changing production, or accepting risk without authority. Fix: Prepare a draft and route the decision to the accountable owner.
Listing evidence without provenance or an acceptance result. Fix: Record source, period, integrity check, mapping, and pass/fail/not-assessed status.

Worked Example

Example: if required evidence is missing or inaccessible, mark the check not assessed, state impact, and stop any pass decision. Record the evidence and result in the validation record; this avoids false assurance from an incomplete review.

Overview

A single audit-log retention configuration can satisfy SOC 2 CC7.2, ISO 27001 A.8.15, HIPAA §164.312(b), EU AI Act Art. 12, and NIST AI RMF MEASURE-3. The auditor wants to know which evidence is shared, which is unique, and where regimes diverge. This skill produces the crosswalk.

Step 2: Canonical control areas

Area	Description
Action governance	What actions an agent may perform; authorisation model
Audit logging	Record-keeping for tool calls and approval events
Audit-log integrity	Tamper-evidence (hash-chain, WORM)
Access control	Identity, scope, least privilege
Approval and supervision	Human-in-the-loop placement
Kill-switch and containment	Emergency stop; force-pause
Incident management	Detection, response, postmortem
Breach notification	Timeline, recipient, content
Sub-processor management	Disclosure, change notice
Data subject rights	Access, erasure, objection, explanation
Transparency and disclosure	User/tenant disclosure of agent involvement
Cross-border transfer	Mechanism per direction
DPIA / impact assessment	When required; assistance
Bias and protected-class outcomes	Review cadence; remediation
Training-data exclusion	Provider commitment; evidence
Memory and erasure	Tiered memory; erasure SLA
Red-team and adversarial testing	Cadence; severity
Change management	CAB; ADR; gate
Monitoring and SLI	Burn-rate alerts; intervention
Documentation retention	Years per regime

Step 3: For each area, map to each regime

For each (area × regime) cell:

The specific clause / criterion / standard ID.
The shared evidence artefact (if any) — name and frequency.
Divergent evidence required — name and rationale.
Risk if the area is treated as fully overlapping without divergent evidence.

Produce the matrix in references/ai-agent-regulator-overlap-matrix.md.

Step 4: Identify EU AI Act tier per feature

Cross-link the EU AI Act classification from ai-act-and-regulatory-compliance-doc:

Prohibited (Art. 5) — block.
High-risk (Annex III) — full Annex IV technical documentation, conformity assessment, post-market monitoring, registration.
Limited-risk (Art. 50) — transparency obligations.
Minimal-risk — voluntary codes.

Per area declare additional AI Act obligations.

Step 5: One-evidence-multiple-regimes reuse table

Produce a concrete reuse table:

Evidence artefact	SOC 2	ISO	HIPAA	EU AI Act	NIST	KE	NG	ZA	UG	RW
