  Use when working with Thoropass — thoropass (formerly Laika) compliance
  automation and audit management platform for SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and PCI
  DSS. Covers control monitoring, evidence management, audit workflows, policy
  tracking, and readiness assessment. Use when reviewing compliance control
  status, managing evidence collection, tracking audit progress, monitoring
  policy compliance, or assessing audit readiness.

# Thoropass Management Skill

Manage and analyze Thoropass compliance controls, evidence, audits, and readiness posture.

## API Conventions

### Authentication
All API calls use `Authorization: Bearer $THOROPASS_API_TOKEN` -- injected automatically. Never hardcode tokens.

### Base URL
`https://api.thoropass.com/v1`

### Core Helper Function

```bash
#!/bin/bash

thoropass_api() {
    local method="$1"
    local endpoint="$2"
    local data="${3:-}"

    if [ -n "$data" ]; then
        curl -s -X "$method" \
            -H "Authorization: Bearer $THOROPASS_API_TOKEN" \
            -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
            "https://api.thoropass.com/v1${endpoint}" \
            -d "$data"
    else
        curl -s -X "$method" \
            -H "Authorization: Bearer $THOROPASS_API_TOKEN" \
            -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
            "https://api.thoropass.com/v1${endpoint}"
    fi
}
```

## Output Rules
- **TOKEN EFFICIENCY**: Extract only needed fields with `jq`
- Target <=50 lines per script output
- Never dump full API responses

## Discovery Phase

```bash
#!/bin/bash
echo "=== Frameworks ==="
thoropass_api GET "/frameworks" \
    | jq -r '.data[] | "\(.id)\t\(.name)\t\(.status)"' | column -t | head -10

echo ""
echo "=== Controls Summary ==="
thoropass_api GET "/controls?limit=1" \
    | jq '"Total controls: \(.meta.total // "N/A")"' -r

echo ""
echo "=== Active Audits ==="
thoropass_api GET "/audits" \
    | jq -r '.data[] | "\(.id)\t\(.frameworkName)\t\(.status)\t\(.auditPeriod // "N/A")"' | column -t | head -5
```

## Analysis Phase

### Control Status

```bash
#!/bin/bash
echo "=== Controls by Status ==="
CONTROLS=$(thoropass_api GET "/controls?limit=200")
echo "$CONTROLS" | jq '{
    total: (.data | length),
    implemented: ([.data[] | select(.status == "implemented")] | length),
    not_implemented: ([.data[] | select(.status == "not_implemented")] | length),
    in_progress: ([.data[] | select(.status == "in_progress")] | length),
    not_applicable: ([.data[] | select(.status == "not_applicable")] | length)
}'

echo ""
echo "=== Controls Not Implemented ==="
echo "$CONTROLS" | jq -r '.data[] | select(.status == "not_implemented") | "\(.status)\t\(.name[0:45])\t\(.framework[0:15])\towner:\(.owner[0:20] // "Unassigned")"' \
    | column -t | head -15

echo ""
echo "=== Implementation Progress by Framework ==="
echo "$CONTROLS" | jq -r '[.data[] | {fw: .framework, s: .status}] | group_by(.fw) | map({fw: .[0].fw[0:20], total: length, done: ([.[] | select(.s == "implemented")] | length)}) | .[] | "\(.fw)\t\(.done)/\(.total)\t\((.done * 100 / .total | floor))%"' | column -t
```

### Evidence Management

```bash
#!/bin/bash
echo "=== Evidence Collection ==="
thoropass_api GET "/evidence?limit=200" \
    | jq '{
        total: (.data | length),
        collected: ([.data[] | select(.status == "collected")] | length),
        pending: ([.data[] | select(.status == "pending")] | length),
        rejected: ([.data[] | select(.status == "rejected")] | length)
    }'

echo ""
echo "=== Pending Evidence ==="
thoropass_api GET "/evidence?limit=50&status=pending" \
    | jq -r '.data[] | "\(.controlName[0:30])\t\(.name[0:35])\towner:\(.assignee[0:20] // "Unassigned")"' \
    | column -t | head -15

echo ""
echo "=== Rejected Evidence ==="
thoropass_api GET "/evidence?limit=20&status=rejected" \
    | jq -r '.data[] | "\(.controlName[0:30])\t\(.name[0:30])\treason:\(.rejectionReason[0:30] // "N/A")"' | column -t
```

### Audit Progress

```bash
#!/bin/bash
echo "=== Audit Status ==="
thoropass_api GET "/audits" \
    | jq -r '.data[] | "\(.frameworkName)\t\(.status)\tprogress:\(.completionPercentage // 0)%\tauditor:\(.auditorName // "TBD")"' | column -t

echo ""
echo "=== Audit Findings ==="
AUDIT_ID=$(thoropass_api GET "/audits" | jq -r '.data[0].id // empty')
if [ -n "$AUDIT_ID" ]; then
    thoropass_api GET "/audits/${AUDIT_ID}/findings?limit=20" \
        | jq -r '.data[] | "\(.severity)\t\(.status)\t\(.description[0:50])"' | column -t | head -15
fi

echo ""
echo "=== Audit Requests ==="
if [ -n "$AUDIT_ID" ]; then
    thoropass_api GET "/audits/${AUDIT_ID}/requests?limit=20&status=open" \
        | jq -r '.data[] | "\(.status)\t\(.description[0:50])\tdue:\(.dueDate[0:10] // "N/A")"' | column -t | head -10
fi
```

### Policy Tracking

```bash
#!/bin/bash
echo "=== Policy Status ==="
thoropass_api GET "/policies?limit=100" \
    | jq -r '.data[] | "\(.status)\t\(.name[0:40])\tversion:\(.version // "N/A")\tlastUpdated:\(.updatedAt[0:10] // "N/A")"' \
    | sort | column -t | head -15

echo ""
echo "=== Policies Pending Review ==="
thoropass_api GET "/policies?limit=50&status=pending_review" \
    | jq -r '.data[] | "\(.name[0:40])\towner:\(.owner[0:20] // "Unassigned")\tdue:\(.reviewDueDate[0:10] // "N/A")"' | column -t
```

## Output Format

Present results as a structured report:
```
Managing Thoropass Report
═════════════════════════
Resources discovered: [count]

Resource       Status    Key Metric    Issues
──────────────────────────────────────────────
[name]         [ok/warn] [value]       [findings]

Summary: [total] resources | [ok] healthy | [warn] warnings | [crit] critical
Action Items: [list of prioritized findings]
```

Target ≤50 lines of output. Use tables for multi-resource comparisons.

## Anti-Hallucination Rules

1. **NEVER assume resource names** — always discover via CLI/API in Phase 1 before referencing in Phase 2.
2. **NEVER fabricate metric names or dimensions** — verify against the service documentation or `--help` output.
3. **NEVER mix CLI commands between service versions** — confirm which version/API you are targeting.
4. **ALWAYS use the discovery → verify → analyze chain** — every resource referenced must have been discovered first.
5. **ALWAYS handle empty results gracefully** — an empty response is valid data, not an error to retry.

## Counter-Rationalizations

| Shortcut | Counter | Why |
|----------|---------|-----|
| "I'll skip discovery and check known resources" | Always run Phase 1 discovery first | Resource names change, new resources appear — assumed names cause errors |
| "The user only asked for a quick check" | Follow the full discovery → analysis flow | Quick checks miss critical issues; structured analysis catches silent failures |
| "Default configuration is probably fine" | Audit configuration explicitly | Defaults often leave logging, security, and optimization features disabled |
| "Metrics aren't needed for this" | Always check relevant metrics when available | API/CLI responses show current state; metrics reveal trends and intermittent issues |
| "I don't have access to that" | Try the command and report the actual error | Assumed permission failures prevent useful investigation; actual errors are informative |

## Common Pitfalls

- **Audit-centric workflow**: Thoropass combines compliance automation with audit management
- **Evidence review**: Evidence goes through auditor review -- check for rejected items
- **Pagination**: Use `limit` and `offset` -- check `meta.total`
- **Rate limits**: Check response headers for rate limiting
- **Audit period scoping**: Evidence and controls may be scoped to specific audit periods
- **Auditor requests**: During audits, auditors create requests that need attention
