compliance-lookup

name	compliance-lookup
description	Look up how LimaCharlie covers a specific compliance control across any of seven frameworks (CMMC, NIST 800-53, PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001, CIS v8). Returns the relevant section from the framework's mapping and implementation docs plus the exact D&R rules that carry the control citation in their metadata. Use when the user asks things like "how does LC cover PCI 10.2.1.4?", "show me our NIST AU-2 coverage", "what rules map to CIS Safeguard 8.2?", "HIPAA §164.312(b) coverage".

Compliance Lookup

Look up how LimaCharlie covers a specific compliance control. Returns the control's conceptual coverage (from the mapping doc) plus the specific deployable rules that cite it (from the implementation doc).

When to invoke

The user asks a targeted control-coverage question. Examples:

• "how does LC cover PCI 10.2.1.4?"
• "show me NIST AU-2 coverage"
• "what rules map to CIS Safeguard 8.2?"
• "HIPAA §164.312(b)"
• "CMMC AU.L2-3.3.1"

If the user is asking a broader "what am I missing?" question instead of a specific control, use compliance-gap instead.

Argument parsing

Expected input: <framework> <control-id>. Examples:

Input	Framework	Control ID
pci 10.2.1.4 or pci-dss 10.2.1.4	pci-dss	10.2.1.4
nist AU-2 or 800-53 AU-2	nist-800-53	AU-2
cmmc AU.L2-3.3.1	cmmc	AU.L2-3.3.1
hipaa §164.312(b) or hipaa 164.312(b)	hipaa	§164.312(b)
soc2 CC6.1 or cc6.1	soc2	CC6.1
iso A.8.15 or iso-27001 A.8.15	iso-27001	A.8.15
cis 8.2 or cis-v8 8.2	cis-v8	8.2

If the framework is ambiguous, infer from the control-ID format (e.g., CC6.1 is SOC 2; §164.312 is HIPAA; AU-2 is NIST).

Locating bundled docs

All framework reference docs ship inside this plugin under ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/compliance/<framework>/. Throughout this skill, paths written as compliance/<framework>/... resolve to ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/compliance/<framework>/... — read files through that prefix.

If ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} is not set in your shell, derive the plugin root from this skill's base directory (<base>/../..), or fall back to:

find / -path "*/lc-compliance/.claude-plugin/plugin.json" 2>/dev/null | head -1 | xargs dirname | xargs dirname

Workflow

1. Resolve the plugin root (see "Locating bundled docs" above) so the framework directories at compliance/<framework>/ can be read.

2. Find the control in the mapping doc. Grep compliance/<framework>/<framework>-limacharlie-mapping.md for the control ID. For HIPAA, match §164.XXX(…); for NIST, match both base controls and enhancements like AU-2(1); for CIS, match Safeguard N.N; etc. Extract the surrounding section (heading through next heading).

3. Find the D&R rules that cite the control. Grep compliance/<framework>/<framework>-limacharlie-implementation.md for the framework's metadata key with the requested control ID as the value:

   Framework	Metadata key
   cmmc	cmmc_control:
   nist-800-53	nist_control:
   pci-dss	pci_dss_req:
   hipaa	hipaa_safeguard:
   soc2	soc2_criterion:
   iso-27001	iso_27001_control:
   cis-v8	cis_safeguard:

   For each matching rule, extract: rule name, target event type, and a one-line summary from the rule's description / comment.

4. Check the attribution doc. Read compliance/<framework>/<framework>-attribution.md once and note the verification status (MACHINE_VERIFIED / ATTESTATION / UNVERIFIED) — include this in the answer so the user knows how much trust to place in the citation.

5. Respond in markdown. Structure:

   # <Framework Canonical Name>: <Control ID>
   
   **Citation:** <full canonical citation, e.g., "PCI DSS v4.0 Req 10.2.1.4">
   **Verification:** <MACHINE_VERIFIED | ATTESTATION | UNVERIFIED>  (see attribution doc)
   
   ## Conceptual coverage
   
   <excerpt from mapping doc — the paragraph describing how LC covers this control>
   
   ## Deployable rules (N)
   
   | Rule name | Event | Summary |
   |---|---|---|
   | pci-10-failed-logon-windows | WEL (EventID 4625) | Detect failed Windows logons |
   | ... | | |
   
   ## Source files
   
   - `compliance/<framework>/<framework>-limacharlie-mapping.md` (line N)
   - `compliance/<framework>/<framework>-limacharlie-implementation.md` (rule names above)
   - `compliance/<framework>/<framework>-attribution.md` (verification basis)
   

Evidence standards

• Quote mapping-doc text verbatim; don't paraphrase.
• Cite line numbers (file.md:N) so the user can jump.
• Never claim a control is "implemented" beyond what the doc and rules actually show. Report what exists, not what you infer.
• If verification status is UNVERIFIED (ISO 27001), include a short disclaimer: "The ISO 27002:2022 authoritative source is paywalled; citation wording is not machine-verified."

Non-goals

• Do not deploy or modify anything. This is a read-only lookup skill.
• Do not run gap analysis. If the user wants to know what's missing, suggest compliance-gap.
• Do not query a live LC org. The answer comes from the repo content only.
