# ai-tooling-data-flow-reviewer
The skill that answers "if we wire AI tool X into system Y, where does our regulated data end up?" Specialized for AI integrations because the data flow is non-obvious (inference happens off-org-network) and the controls are different (content exclusion + residency vs traditional network egress).
## When to use
- New AI tool integration proposed (Copilot knowledge base, internal LLM gateway, Cursor on regulated repo, MCP server enabling agentic actions).
- Existing AI integration adds a new data source.
- AI tool vendor announces a new data-handling feature (e.g., residency change, new context-loading path).
- Pre-CAB review for any AI-related change.
## When NOT to use
- Generic data-flow review without AI angle → `secure-design-reviewer`.
- AI tool selection / vendor evaluation → [`vendor-security-eval`](../vendor-security-eval/SKILL.md).
- Specific Copilot policy question → `copilot-faq-answerer`.
## Workflow
1. **Identify the integration scope**: components, source data, destination.
2. **Build the data-flow diagram** (ASCII): every hop from data source through AI tool to consumer.
3. **Per-hop classification**: at each hop, what data classification crosses? Does it cross a trust boundary? What's the control at that hop?
4. **Cross-reference vault facts**: check Copilot data-residency posture, content exclusion config, audit log path, IP indemnity scope — does the org's existing posture cover this flow's claims?
5. **Find the gaps**:
