eu-ai-act-high-risk-classifier-oliver-schmidt-prietz
Depth assessment of whether an AI system is high-risk under Art. 6 of the EU AI Act, grounded in the Commission's draft Art. 6(5) classification guidelines (general principles + Annex I + Annex III). Covers the Annex I product-safety route, all eight Annex III areas with worked examples, the Art. 6(3) exception and its profiling re-exception, and the Art. 25 quasi-provider trap. Outputs a structured decision block, a practitioner memo, and a JSON interchange artefact.

What it does
Depth assessment of whether an AI system is high-risk under Art. 6 AI Act, grounded in the Commission's draft Art. 6(5) classification guidelines (general principles, Annex I, Annex III). Outputs a structured decision block, a practitioner memo, and a JSON interchange artefact.
How it works
Follows a five-step decision tree:
- Step 1: Gate the AI system definition per Art. 3(1).
- Step 2: Document provider-stated intended purpose and gather inputs.
- Step 3: Art. 6(1) / Annex I branch: determine if the system is a product/safety component, apply safety-function or failure-based tests, assess third-party conformity (Modules) and determine Annex I Section A or B mapping.
- Step 4: Art. 6(2) / Annex III branch: map to eight Annex III areas, check Art. 6(3) exception (a–d) and profiling re-exception, and apply Art. 6(4) documentation if needed.
- Step 5: Art. 25 substantial-modification trap if applicable.
Outputs three artefacts unless subset requested: a Structured decision block, a Practitioner memo, and a JSON interchange artefact.
# EU AI Act High-Risk Classification Depth assessment of whether an AI system is **high-risk** under **Art. 6 AI Act** (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689), grounded in the European Commission's draft Art. 6(5) classification guidelines (general principles, Annex I, Annex III) published for stakeholder consultation in 2026. ## Disclaimer (show at session start, do not block) > **Important:** This skill provides structured high-risk classification guidance based on the EU AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689) and the Commission's draft Art. 6(5) classification guidelines (general principles, Annex I, Annex III) issued for stakeholder consultation. The Commission guidelines are non-binding; authoritative interpretation rests with the Court of Justice of the EU. This is not legal advice. Final classification decisions should involve qualified legal counsel with AI Act expertise. --- ## When to use this skill - The user has already concluded (via broad risk-tier triage or otherwise) that high-risk is the likely tier and needs the **depth assessment**. - A high-risk verdict is consequential (FRIA may apply, Chapter III conformity assessment regime, post-market monitoring, registration in EU databas

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add lawve-ai/awesome-legal-skills --skill eu-ai-act-high-risk-classifier-oliver-schmidt-prietz --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From lawve-ai/awesome-legal-skills, a repository with 618 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
