The Problem Every Dev Faces

Compliance violations cost companies millions in fines and months of rework.
GDPR. PCI-DSS. HIPAA. SOC 2. FCA. The list grows every year.
You're not a lawyer. You shouldn't have to be.

RegGuard brings compliance into your editor — for free — so you ship faster and sleep better.

⚡ What RegGuard Does

RegGuard scans your code against real, up-to-date regulations matched to your product type, release regions, and third-party tools. It flags violations with line-level precision — just like ESLint — and lets Claude propose a drop-in fix you can accept in one click.

You write code → RegGuard flags the risk → Claude fixes it → You ship clean

No lawyers. No consultants. No surprises at audit time.

`regguard.openRouterKey`	`sk-or-v1-...`
`regguard.productType`	`"fintech mobile app"`
`regguard.releaseRegions`	`["EU", "US", "UK"]`
`regguard.clientRegions`	`["EU", "US"]`
`regguard.externalTools`	`["Stripe", "Twilio", "AWS S3"]`

🤖 How It Works Under the Hood

Three AI models. One API key. Zero compliance blind spots.

Model	Role
Perplexity	Fetches current regulations for your product, regions & tools
Grok	Surfaces upcoming regulatory changes (6–12 months out)
Claude	Reads your code, flags violations, writes the fix

All accessed through a single OpenRouter key — no juggling three subscriptions.

🔍 Using Findings

Flags appear as squiggly underlines — just like ESLint errors:

Hover the squiggly → Read the regulation and issue summary
Click the lightbulb (or Ctrl/Cmd + .) → Open the quick-fix menu
- ✅ Apply fix — Claude rewrites the flagged block in place
- ❌ Decline — Dismiss the flag
- 📖 View details — Opens a full regulation panel beside your editor

The RegGuard sidebar (🛡️ in the Activity Bar) shows all findings across every open file with jump-to-line and apply-fix buttons.

💰 What Does It Cost?

A typical scan costs a few cents:

Model	Tokens	Purpose
Perplexity	~2,000	Regulation fetch
Grok	~1,500	Trending regulatory changes
Claude	~3,000–8,000	Code analysis (scales with file size)

Regulation results are cached for 30 minutes — so if you scan multiple files back-to-back, you only pay for Claude's analysis each time.

⚙️ Commands

Command	Description
`RegGuard: Scan current file`	Scan the active editor
`RegGuard: Scan workspace`	Scan all open files
`RegGuard: Clear all flags`	Remove all RegGuard diagnostics
`RegGuard: Refresh regulations cache`	Force re-fetch from Perplexity & Grok
`RegGuard: Open configuration`	Jump to RegGuard settings

🔒 Privacy

Your code is sent to Claude via OpenRouter. Regulation context is sent to Perplexity and Grok. Review OpenRouter's privacy policy and each model provider's policies before scanning proprietary code.
