Compliance Check

Jurisdiction-aware content compliance validation. Scans copy for regulatory violations, banned claims, missing disclaimers, and financial promotion language.

Trigger

User invokes /compliance-check [file-or-text] or says "check compliance", "legal review", "is this compliant", "regulatory check"

Arguments

• Required: file path or inline text to check
• Optional: --jurisdiction <US|EU|UK|ALL> (default: ALL)
• Optional: --type <social|blog|email|landing-page|influencer> (default: auto-detect)

Steps

1. Load compliance rules

Read rules from {{BRAND_DIR}}/canon-rules.json -> compliance_rules:

cat "{{BRAND_DIR}}/canon-rules.json" | jq '.compliance_rules'

If no compliance rules exist, use built-in defaults based on industry:
