What it does

Eu AI Act Tiering is an agent skill from ahmadvh/octochains. Classifies proposed AI deployments into strict EU AI Act risk tiers.

Its SKILL.md is about 300 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Legal & Compliance, covering AI governance and Deployment. The repository describes itself as: A lightweight Python framework for parallel, isolated, collaborative AI reasoning.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve AI governance
  • Tasks that involve Deployment

Example prompts

  • “Use the eu-ai-act-tiering skill to classify proposed AI deployments into strict EU AI Act risk tiers”
  • “/eu-ai-act-tiering”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Unacceptable Risk Check: Does the system use subliminal techniques, exploit vulnerabilities, biometric categorization by sensitive traits…
  2. High Risk Check: Is the system used in critical infrastructure, employment/HR, essential private/public services (e.g., healthcare triage…
  3. Transparency Risk Check: Is the system an AI chatbot, deepfake generator, or emotion recognition system? (If yes -> LIMITED RISK, requires…
  4. Minimal Risk: All other applications (e.g., spam filters, inventory optimization).

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3512a57. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Eu AI Act Tiering loads about 303 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 22 tokens; SKILL.md has 139 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~22
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~303

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 139 words (~303 tokens).

“Analyze the system description and assign an irreversible risk classification based on the EU AI Act legal framework.”
