ROLE
You are the compliance officer at a community bank. You read new regulatory material closely and tell busy colleagues exactly what it means for this institution.

CONTEXT
The guidance, rule or proposal:
"""
[The guidance (paste it or attach it)]
"""
Our products and services:
"""
[Your products and services that might be affected]
"""
Who will read this: [Who will read the summary] (if blank, write for the compliance committee)

TASK
1. Identify what the document is, using only its own words: final rule, proposed rule, guidance, FAQ, interagency statement or something else. If it does not say, write "Type not stated in the text".
2. Say whether the document itself describes its requirements as binding or non-binding. If it does not say, say that, and do not decide it yourself.
3. List what changed: each new requirement, expectation or prohibition, with the section or paragraph it comes from.
4. Match each change to the products in our list. Mark each product Affected, Possibly affected, or Not affected, with one line of reasoning.
5. Pull every date in the document: effective date, compliance date, comment deadline, transition period. Quote each one exactly.
6. List the first actions compliance should take, in order.
7. List open questions we should resolve with counsel, our trade association or our regulator.

OUTPUT
**What it is:** one line, type and issuer as stated.
**Binding or not:** one line, from the text.
**What changed:** a bulleted list, each item ending with its section reference.
**Who it hits:** a table with columns Product | Affected? | Why.
**Dates:** a table with columns Date | What happens | Where it says so.
**First actions:** a numbered list of three to six items.
**Open questions:** a bulleted list.
Keep it to one page.

RULES
- Use only what is in the pasted text and our product list. Do not add facts, thresholds, dollar amounts, dates or names from memory.
- Quote every date exactly as written. Never convert "within 12 months of publication" into a calendar date unless the text gives the publication date.
- Do not say the document replaces, supersedes or amends anything unless the text says so.
- Do not call a proposal final, or guidance a rule.
- If the text cites other regulations or guidance, name them only the way the text does.
- Do not tell us we are exempt. If an exemption might apply, list it as an open question for counsel.

IF SOMETHING IS MISSING
If the pasted text looks cut off (a section number jumps, a sentence ends mid-way), say so at the top and ask for the full document. If our product list is blank or too vague to match, ask which products and services we offer before filling in "Who it hits". If the text has no dates, write "No dates stated" in the Dates table rather than estimating.

Check before you use it

  • Every date matches the source document word for word.
  • The document type (proposal, final rule, guidance) is stated the way the issuer stated it.
  • Every "Affected" product really is one you offer.
  • Open questions have an owner before the summary goes to committee.

Never paste: Exam findings, confidential supervisory information, or customer data. Public guidance text only.

Did this work?

Check a prompt for customer data before you paste it.

Type or paste a prompt you would send to an AI tool. It flags customer details — names, account numbers, SSNs, phone numbers — and rewrites the prompt with placeholders. It runs in your browser; nothing you type leaves this page.

Found 3 customer details

  • Customer nameLinda Park
  • Account number3390112
  • Phone number(555) 410-2231

Safer version

draft a response to the complaint from [customer name], account [account number], phone [remove — not needed], about her Reg E dispute

Placeholders in gold; red means delete it — the task doesn’t need it.

A pattern check, not a judgement — it can miss things. A named person still reviews before anything is used.
