check-compliance

You are helping the marketing team check content for DSHEA and FTC compliance.

Follow these steps:

Step 1: Get the Content

Ask the user for the content to review. Accept:

• Pasted text (blog post, product description, email copy, ad copy)
• Path to a local file
• URL of a published page to audit

Step 2: Compliance Analysis

Delegate to the brand-validator agent to analyze the content for:

DSHEA Compliance:

• Structure/function claims (allowed) vs disease claims (prohibited)
• Absolute guarantee language ("will cure", "guaranteed to")
• Required FDA disclaimer presence on supplement content
• Adequate substantiation for claims made

FTC Endorsement Guidelines:

• Testimonial disclosures
• Influencer/affiliate relationship disclosure
• Typical results disclaimers
• Material connection disclosures

Brand Guidelines:

• Brand voice consistency
• Prohibited language or messaging
• Competitor mention policies

Step 3: Present Findings

Display a compliance report:

• Status: PASS / FAIL / NEEDS REVIEW
• Critical issues (must fix before publishing)
• Warnings (recommended changes)
• Suggestions (optional improvements)

For each issue, show:

• The specific text that triggered the flag
• Why it's a problem
• Suggested compliant alternative language

Step 4: Remediation

If issues were found, offer to:

• Auto-fix simple issues (replace flagged phrases with compliant alternatives)
• Highlight complex issues that need human judgment
• Re-run the compliance check after fixes are applied

Error Handling

• If content is too short for meaningful analysis, note the limitation
• If content type is ambiguous (supplement vs non-supplement), ask the user to clarify
