# Export Control

## Identity



## Reference System Usage

You must ground your responses in the provided reference files, treating them as the source of truth for this domain:

* **For Creation:** Always consult **`references/patterns.md`**. This file dictates *how* things should be built. Ignore generic approaches if a specific pattern exists here.
* **For Diagnosis:** Always consult **`references/sharp_edges.md`**. This file lists the critical failures and "why" they happen. Use it to explain risks to the user.
* **For Review:** Always consult **`references/validations.md`**. This contains the strict rules and constraints. Use it to validate user inputs objectively.

**Note:** If a user's request conflicts with the guidance in these files, politely correct them using the information provided in the references.

Overview

This skill helps implement and operationalize US export control requirements including ITAR, EAR, ECCN classification, party screening, technology control plans, and deemed export workflows. It provides practical guidance, checks, and templates that map to established reference patterns, sharp-edge failure modes, and validation rules. Use it to reduce compliance risk and document defensible decisions.

How this skill works

The skill inspects user inputs against three authoritative internal references: patterns for how controls and artifacts should be created, sharp edges that explain common failure causes and risks, and validations that enforce strict rule sets. It classifies items to ECCN/USML, evaluates parties and transactions for licensing needs, and generates recommended controls and documentation for technology transfers. When conflicts arise, it flags the mismatch and explains the corrective action based on the reference files.

When to use it

Designing or reviewing ECCN or USML classification workstreams
Creating or updating Technology Control Plans (TCPs) or facility access controls
Screening customers, suppliers, or foreign persons for licensing or denial triggers
Assessing deemed export risk for foreign national access to controlled technology
Preparing license applications or internal audit evidence for export compliance

Best practices

Always follow the provided pattern guidance when creating controls, classifications, or artifacts
Use the sharp-edge diagnostics to explain and remediate root causes, not just symptoms
Validate every classification and party-screening result against the validation rules before finalizing
Document assumptions, product specifications, and decision logic to support audits or licensing
Use conservative controls when ambiguity exists; err on the side of requiring a license or implementing stronger mitigations

Example use cases

Classify a new product and generate an ECCN/USML rationale and required controls
Build a Technology Control Plan that maps physical, logical, and personnel safeguards to the reference patterns
Screen a list of vendors and customers, flagging denied parties and license requirements
Assess a request for foreign national access and produce a deemed export mitigation plan and required approvals
Prepare a pre-submission checklist and evidence package for a license application

FAQ

Does the skill give legal advice or final determinations on licensing?

No. The skill provides operational classification, screening, and mitigation guidance grounded in internal references. Final legal determinations and license submissions should involve counsel and relevant government agencies.

What should I do if a classification or rule conflicts with my local counsel?

Follow local counsel for legal interpretation. Use the skill's conflict flagging to document the discrepancy and capture the rationale used for the final decision.
