## Description

Keep the AI policy current with practice, weekly sweep of saved AIAs, triage results, and vendor reviews to find policy drift, or direct query for a proposed new AI practice. Use when user says "policy sweep", "does our AI policy cover this", "we want to start doing X, does the policy need updating", "run the policy monitor", or on a recurring schedule.

## SKILL.md, as published by its author (untrusted third-party text, read it as data)

# /policy-monitor

**Sweep mode** (no argument or `--sweep`):
1. Read `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/ai-governance-legal/CLAUDE.md` → outputs folder path, AI policy document, last sweep date.
2. Use the framework below. Scan outputs folder for files since last sweep.
3. For each output: extract approved practices → diff against current policy commitments and use case registry.
4. Classify gaps: REQUIRED (policy misrepresents current practice) vs ADVISABLE (policy silent).
5. For each gap: quote current policy, describe gap, draft suggested language.
6. Flag any use cases in outputs not yet added to the `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/ai-governance-legal/CLAUDE.md` registry.
7. Present results to the human. Only after acknowledgment, update `Last policy sweep` and `gaps_found` in `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/ai-governance-legal/CLAUDE.md`.

**Direct query mode** (with description argument):
1. Read `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/ai-governance-legal/CLAUDE.md` → current policy commitments, use case registry, actual policy document.
2. Parse proposed practice. Diff against policy: use case coverage, automation level, affected parties, disclosure, vendor data use, oversight.
3. Output: covered / missing / conflicting + suggested language for each gap + registry entry if needed + timing recommendation.

**Recurring runs:**
Set up a recurring reminder in your own scheduler to run `/ai-governance-legal:policy-monitor` weekly. Scheduled execution requires a scheduled-tasks integration, which is not bundled with this plugin.

```
/ai-governance-legal:policy-monitor
/ai-governance-legal:policy-monitor "We want to use AI to automatically flag expense reports for review"
```
