Install AI Act Compliance
Pick your agent. Every command is ready to paste.
npx skills add datadrivenconstruction/DDC_Skills_for_AI_Agents_in_Construction --skill ai-act-complianceThe open skills CLI detects your agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and 70+ more) and installs to the right folder. Add -g to install globally.
01
Install it
Run the command above, or upload the folder in Claude.
02
Ask naturally
Describe the task. Your agent loads ai-act-compliance when the request matches its description.
03
Name it if needed
If it does not trigger, say “use the ai-act-compliance skill”. In Codex, type $ai-act-compliance.
EU AI Act Compliance for Construction AI (2026)
Why it matters
The EU AI Act (2024/1689) is binding from 2025–2027 in phases. Construction AI — estimators, computer-vision site monitoring, agent assistants — mostly lands in limited or minimal risk, but misclassification or missing transparency is a compliance failure, and high-risk uses (safety-critical, worker monitoring, access decisions) bring real obligations.
Classification quick check for construction tools
| System | Likely tier | Obligations |
|---|---|---|
| Cost estimation assistant (BOQ, unit prices) | limited / minimal | transparency (users know it is AI), basic logging |
| Schedule optimisation | minimal | none beyond general law |
| Site camera CV for progress | limited | transparency, data minimisation |
| CV for PPE/safety enforcement | high risk (safety component?) | full: risk management, data governance, human oversight, logs |
| Worker performance monitoring | high risk (employment) | prohibited or high-risk — treat carefully |
| AI agent that signs/submits binding documents | not allowed without human | human oversight mandatory |
Rule of thumb: if a human previously had to sign it, an AI must not sign it alone.
Practical compliance checklist (per tool)
- Classify — document the risk tier and reasoning.
- Transparency — users must know they interact with AI output; mark AI-generated estimates as such.
- Human oversight — a qualified human reviews binding estimates, contracts, safety decisions.
- Data governance — minimal personal data in site CV; no biometric identification.
- Logging — record model, inputs, outputs, version (the ERP usage-ledger pattern).
- Instructions for use — document limitations (e.g. early estimates ±30–50%).

Tips for AI Act Compliance
- • Start a fresh session after installing so your agent picks up the new skill.
- • It is part of a pack with 30 skills. Install only the ones you need with --skill to keep triggers precise.
- • If two skills overlap, mention the one you want by name.
Questions about AI Act Compliance
What does the AI Act Compliance skill do?
Check construction AI systems against the EU AI Act (Regulation 2024/1689): classify risk of estimation, scheduling, CV and agent tools, document transparency, keep human oversight. Use when deploying or auditing AI in construction.
How do I install AI Act Compliance?
Run "npx skills add datadrivenconstruction/DDC_Skills_for_AI_Agents_in_Construction --skill ai-act-compliance" in your project. The skills CLI installs it for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and 70+ other agents. In Claude on the web, upload the skill folder as a ZIP under Customize > Skills.
Does AI Act Compliance work in Cursor and Codex?
Yes. AI Act Compliance uses the open SKILL.md format, so it works in Claude Code, Claude, Cursor, OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and other agents that support agent skills.
Is AI Act Compliance free?
AI Act Compliance is open source on GitHub under the MIT license. It is free to install; check the license before commercial use.
Who made AI Act Compliance?
AI Act Compliance is published by datadrivenconstruction in the datadrivenconstruction/DDC_Skills_for_AI_Agents_in_Construction repository, together with 29 other skills.
