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 Annex III high-risk obligations apply from 2 August 2026 in current law (a 7 May 2026 provisional Council/Parliament agreement would shift this to 2 December 2027, but is not yet adopted; current law remains authoritative until formal adoption and OJ publication). 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 Annex III obligations apply from 2 August 2026 in current law (a 7 May 2026 provisional Council/Parliament agreement would shift this to 2 December 2027 if formally adopted; not yet adopted, current law authoritative). 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:

    B -->|Yes| C["PROHIBITED<br/>Immediate escalation"]

Compliance Timeline

Key enforcement deadlines, the plugin tracks where you stand against each. Dates shown are current-law dates. A 7 May 2026 provisional Council/Parliament agreement would shift Annex III to 2 Dec 2027 and Annex I to 2 Aug 2028 if formally adopted; not yet adopted, current law authoritative.
