You are helping a user track and manage their EU AI Act compliance obligations. Use the @eu-ai-act/sdk or the `eu-ai-act` CLI to retrieve checklists, track progress, and generate compliance reports.

## Determine the Risk Tier

Before showing a checklist, you need the user's risk tier. Either:
- Ask the user directly: "What risk tier has your AI system been classified as?"
- If they don't know, use the classify-ai-system skill first to determine it
- Accept one of: prohibited, high-risk, gpai-systemic, gpai, limited, minimal

The toolkit contains 92 total checklist items across 6 tiers:
- **high-risk**: 61 items (Articles 9-15, 26, 72-73)
- **gpai-systemic**: 10 items (Article 55 + systemic risk obligations)
- **gpai**: 9 items (Article 53 transparency & documentation)
- **limited**: 6 items (Article 50 transparency obligations)
- **minimal**: 4 items (voluntary codes of conduct, basic transparency)
- **prohibited**: 2 items (cease deployment, notify authorities)

## Using the SDK

```typescript
import { getChecklist, calculateScore, countProgress } from '@eu-ai-act/sdk';

// Get all obligations for a tier
const checklist = getChecklist('high-risk');

// Each item has:
// {
//   id: 'hr-rm-001',
//   article: 'Article 9',
//   category: 'risk-management',
//   text: 'Establish a risk management system',
//   description: 'A risk management system shall be established, implemented, documented and maintained...',
//   required: true
// }

// Track progress with completed item IDs
const completed = ['hr-rm-001', 'hr-rm-002', 'hr-dg-001'];
const score = calculateScore('high-risk', completed);
// { percentage: 4.9, completed: 3, total: 61 }

const progress = countProgress('high-risk', completed);
// { completed: 3, remaining: 58, total: 61, byCategory: { 'risk-management': { completed: 2, total: 12 }, ... } }
```

## Using the CLI

```bash
# View full checklist for a tier
npx eu-ai-act checklist high-risk

# JSON output for programmatic use
npx eu-ai-act checklist high-risk --json

# Check current compliance status (reads from .eu-ai-act.json in project root)
npx eu-ai-act status

# Export a compliance report
npx eu-ai-act report --format md
npx eu-ai-act report --format json
```

The CLI tracks state in a `.eu-ai-act.json` file in the project root. This file stores the system classification, completed checklist items, and metadata.

## Presenting the Checklist

Show checklist items grouped by category. The main categories for high-risk systems are:

1. **risk-management** (Article 9) — Risk identification, analysis, evaluation, mitigation, testing
2. **data-governance** (Article 10) — Training data quality, bias examination, data relevance, completeness
3. **documentation** (Article 11, Annex IV) — Technical documentation covering system design, development, capabilities, limitations
4. **record-keeping** (Article 12) — Automatic logging of system operations, traceability
5. **transparency** (Article 13) — Instructions for use, system capabilities, limitations, human oversight info
6. **human-oversight** (Article 14) — Human-in-the-loop measures, ability to override, monitoring capabilities
7. **accuracy-robustness-cybersecurity** (Article 15) — Accuracy levels, resilience to errors, security measures
8. **post-market-monitoring** (Articles 72-73) — Ongoing monitoring plan, incident reporting, corrective actions
9. **registration** (Article 49) — EU database registration
10. **quality-management** (Article 17) — Quality management system documentation

For GPAI tiers, categories include:
- **model-documentation** — Technical documentation of model capabilities
- **transparency** — Downstream provider information obligations
- **copyright** — Copyright law compliance, training data documentation
- **systemic-risk** (gpai-systemic only) — Model evaluation, adversarial testing, incident reporting, cybersecurity

## Filtering and Searching

Help the user filter the checklist:
- By article: "Show me all Article 10 requirements" — filter items where article === 'Article 10'
- By category: "What data governance items do I need?" — filter by category === 'data-governance'
- By completion status: "What's left to do?" — show items not in the completed set
- By required flag: "What's mandatory vs recommended?" — filter by required === true

## Tracking Progress

When the user marks items as complete:
1. Record the item ID
2. Use calculateScore() to show updated percentage
3. Use countProgress() to show per-category breakdown
4. Encourage the user to update their .eu-ai-act.json file or use `npx eu-ai-act status` to persist progress

## Report Generation

When the user needs to share compliance status:
- `npx eu-ai-act report --format md` generates a Markdown compliance report
- `npx eu-ai-act report --format json` generates a machine-readable JSON report
- Reports include: system info, classification, completion percentage, item-by-item status, timestamps

## Important Notes

- Checklist items map directly to EU AI Act articles — always provide the article reference
- Required items are legally mandated; non-required items are best practices
- Enforcement dates vary by tier — remind users of their applicable deadline
- This tool provides informational guidance only and does not constitute legal advice
