What it does

AI Act Readiness is an agent skill from borghei/Claude-Skills. EU AI Act readiness assessment and sprint playbook. Use when preparing for the Aug 2026 high-risk AI system deadline, when a notified-body conformity assessment is scheduled, or when GPAI (general-purpose AI) obligations apply.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/ai-act-readiness-checklist.md`, `references/high-risk-system-readiness-playbook.md` and `scripts/ai_act_readiness_score.py`).

It sits in Legal & Compliance, covering AI governance. The repository describes itself as: 385 AI skills, 77 expert agents, and 900 stdlib Python tools for every team: engineering, PM, marketing, C-level, compliance, business ops, research, and a LinkedIn toolkit… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Preparing for the Aug 2026 high-risk AI system deadline
  • A notified-body conformity assessment is scheduled
  • GPAI (general-purpose AI) obligations apply

Example prompts

  • “/ai-act-readiness”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Run readiness score: python3 scripts/ai_act_readiness_score.py --config ai-system.yaml
  2. Check GPAI obligations (if applicable): python3 scripts/gpai_obligation_checker.py --model model.yaml
  3. Pick sprint length based on score + system risk class
  4. Execute sprint per references/ai-act-readiness-checklist.md

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4a698e8. 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

    Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    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

AI Act Readiness loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 656 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~61
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~6.1k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

EU AI Act Readiness

Operational playbook for EU AI Act compliance readiness — focused on the sprint to demonstrate readiness for the Aug 2026 high-risk AI deadline and ongoing conformity assessments.

When to use this skill vs. eu-ai-act-specialist:

  • This skill: assessment imminent; need readiness sprint
  • eu-ai-act-specialist: building AI Act compliance program; classifying systems; designing conformity processes

The readiness sprint

8-week sprint (high-risk system, conformity assessment prep)
Week 1-2: System classification confirmation; gap analysis
Week 3-5: Documentation buildout (technical file, risk management, data governance)
Week 6-7: Conformity assessment internal dry-run
Week 8: External notified-body engagement / assessment
4-week sprint (GPAI obligations)
Week 1: System classification (provider/deployer/importer/etc.)
Week 2: Documentation prep (model card, training data summary, copyright compliance)
Week 3: Risk assessment + transparency obligations
Week 4: Submission / publication of required information

Critical AI Act areas

Risk classification

CategoryExamplesRequirements
ProhibitedSocial scoring; behavior manipulation of vulnerable groupsCannot deploy
High-riskBiometric ID; critical infrastructure; education; employment; access to essential services; law enforcementComprehensive obligations
Limited-risk (transparency)Chatbots; deepfakes; emotion recognitionDisclosure obligation

Clarify First

Before running the readiness assessment, confirm these inputs. If any is unknown or vague, ASK — do not assume:

  • AI system risk class — high-risk (Annex III), GPAI, or limited-risk (determines whether to run the 8-week high-risk sprint or the 4-week GPAI sprint, and which checklist applies)
  • Trigger event — Aug 2026 high-risk deadline, scheduled notified-body conformity assessment, GPAI obligations, or annual review (sets sprint length and scope)
  • Your role — provider, deployer, or importer (determines which obligation set is assessed)

Stop rule: ask only the 2-3 that most change the output. If the user says "just draft it," proceed and list your assumptions at the top of the assessment.

Quick start

  1. Run readiness score: python3 scripts/ai_act_readiness_score.py --config ai-system.yaml
  2. Check GPAI obligations (if applicable): python3 scripts/gpai_obligation_checker.py --model model.yaml
  3. Pick sprint length based on score + system risk class
  4. Execute sprint per references/ai-act-readiness-checklist.md

Common AI Act readiness failures

  • Misclassification: deploying system as "limited-risk" when it's actually "high-risk" (Annex III)
  • Risk management as one-time: AI Act requires continuous risk management
  • Data governance gaps: training data without representativeness analysis
  • Logging missing: post-market monitoring requires logs you don't have
  • Human oversight theater: oversight that can't actually intervene
  • GPAI training data summary missing: required since Aug 2025
  • No conformity assessment plan: assuming notified body assessment is automatic
  • AI literacy training skipped: required for staff working with AI systems
