SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents UK regulatory policy gaps from being forgotten by maintaining a living tracker of open compliance gaps and pre-rule consultation items, then routing action to the right owners.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Gap lifecycle tracking: Ingests gaps from policy-diff, de-dupes them, and tracks status (open, in-progress, closed, risk-accepted) until resolution.
  • Overdue and due-soon reporting: Produces a structured status report that separates real compliance deadlines (🔴/🟠) from forward-looking consultation/watch items (🟡/👀).
  • Owner notification with hard safety gates: Sends Slack DMs with mandatory per-send confirmation and unverified-citation warnings before any message is sent.
  • Matter-aware outputs: Uses practice-level and optional matter workspace context to write tracker-related outputs into the correct matter folder.
  • Closure and risk-accept workflows: Provides explicit commands for closing a gap with a resolution note, or risk-accepting with a rationale and revisit trigger.

Quick Start

Use the gap-surfacer skill to ingest policy-diff gaps and then generate the current open-gaps status report for the regulatory-legal-uk practice.

How do I track UK regulatory compliance gaps from policy changes through to closure?

Track UK regulatory compliance gaps by ingesting policy-diff inputs, de-duplicating them, and maintaining a persistent tracker with statuses like open, in-progress, closed, or risk-accepted until resolution.

Can I send Slack notifications to compliance owners for overdue regulatory deadlines?

Send Slack notifications to compliance owners using mandatory per-send confirmation gates and unverified-citation warnings, ensuring safe routing of overdue and due-soon regulatory deadline alerts.

How does deadline management separate actual compliance deadlines from consultation tracking items?

Deadline management separates real compliance deadlines marked red or orange from forward-looking consultation and watch items marked yellow or eyes within a structured status report output.

What is the best way to risk-accept a regulatory policy gap instead of closing it?

Risk-accept a regulatory policy gap by using explicit closure commands that record a rationale and set a revisit trigger, moving the gap to a risk-accepted status within the tracker.

Does gap tracking support OSCOLA citations for UK regulatory legal matters?

Gap tracking supports UK regulatory legal matters by enforcing unverified-citation warnings and structured outputs aligned to OSCOLA citations within matter-aware workspace folders.

How do compliance deadline reminders work for different types of regulatory gaps?

Compliance deadline reminders apply a due-date reminder cadence varied by gap type, triggering alerts for overdue or due-soon items before routing mandatory Slack confirmation gates to owners.
