RAI Standards Skill

This skill is the reusable standards package for the RAI Planner. It consolidates the embedded NIST AI RMF content, the AI STRIDE threat-modeling overlay, and a paraphrased EU AI Act reference so the phase playbook can stay focused on workflow and orchestration.

Attribution and licensing posture

NIST AI RMF 1.0 is a U.S. Government document and is reproduced here as public-domain reference material with attribution. Public-domain material carries no license obligation, so it adds no term to the package license expression.
EU AI Act content in this skill is paraphrased and attributed rather than quoted verbatim, consistent with the open legal-text posture used in the repository. The paraphrase is this repository's own expression.
The AI STRIDE overlay is Microsoft-authored reference material for threat-modeling reuse in the RAI workflow.

Every file in this package is therefore governed by the repository-original license. The table records the source each file draws on.

Customer extension pattern

The default framework remains NIST AI RMF 1.0. When a customer supplies an additional framework, preserve the default NIST mapping as a baseline and layer the custom framework on top with explicit attribution. This keeps the planner interoperable while allowing organizations to add ISO, sector, or regional references without rewriting the core playbook.
