Second Line Financial Services

Plugins for second-line and 1.5-line financial-services work. Skills cover what risk and compliance teams (and the advisory practitioners who support them) actually produce: scoping a review, mapping obligations, building a control matrix, drafting a model card, writing up an issue, building a vendor-diligence pack, packaging a risk-committee read, working a SAR / no-SAR file, prepping for a supervisory cycle, and so on. Skills are grounded in regulatory and standards material, with sector context (banking, capital markets, insurance, payments / fintech) loaded conditionally from the scoping record.

Built primarily for Claude (and Claude Code), but the skill files follow the open SKILL.md format and can be loaded into other agentic systems that support it: GPT, Gemini, in-house open-weights deployments, or anything else that reads agent skills. The skills are markdown plus optional schemas; the format is the standard, the work product is what travels.

The repo extends Anthropic's published financial-services plugin family. Where Anthropic's plugins cover the cross-industry first-line baseline (financial analysis, banking deal work, equity research, PE, wealth, fund admin, ops), these go deeper into US second-line and 1.5-line work and US supervisory expectations.

Who this is for

Second-line and 1.5-line practitioners inside regulated firms: model-risk leads (MRMO), AI governance leads, third-party risk managers (TPRM), BSA / AML officers, sanctions officers, compliance heads (CCO), fair-lending and UDAAP review teams, controls testing and internal audit teams, risk reporting and CRO-office teams, regulatory-affairs and regulatory-change teams, operational-resilience leads, fund-board secretaries, disclosure committees.

And the advisory and consulting teams running the same work for those firms.

If you work in 1.5L, 2L, or adjacent functions, the skills let Claude (or other agentic systems supporting the SKILL.md format) draft alongside you, like a colleague who knows the work and defers to your judgement on the call.

What's in here

  • Capability plugins for horizontal GRC work: foundational primitives, regulatory change, AI / model risk, third-party / operational resilience, controls testing, risk reporting, financial crime governance, consumer compliance and fair lending.
  • Sector overlay plugins for institution-specific context: banking, insurance, capital markets and asset management, payments and fintech. Sector overlays ship sector-unique skills only; sector flavour on cross-industry capability skills lives as references/sector-overlays/<sector>.md inside the relevant capability skill, loaded conditionally from the scoping record.
  • Source posture per skill. Skills ship a references/source-anchors.md with the regulatory and standards citations they lean on. US-deep, with EU as overlay and UK as see-also.

The skill set is public-source-derived and anonymous, with no firm-specific policy baked in.

Standalone agent plugins (one-shot reviewers that orchestrate related skills end-to-end) are not in this release. The next iteration adds a maker / checker loop with genuine context-isolated subagent forking, primary-plus-critic two-agent shape, and plugin dependencies in place of bundled-skill copies. See ROADMAP.md for the target shape.

Repository layout

.claude-plugin/marketplace.json
plugins/
  capability-plugins/   # Horizontal GRC, AI / model risk, TPRM / resilience, testing, reporting, financial crime, consumer compliance
  sector-plugins/       # Banking, insurance, capital markets, payments / fintech overlays

Each skill is self-contained: plugins/<type>/<plugin>/skills/<skill>/ ships its own SKILL.md, references/source-anchors.md, sector overlays under references/sector-overlays/, cross-cutting overlays under references/cross-cutting/ where applicable, templates/default-output.md, optional schemas/*.schema.json, and worked examples/.

Install

These instructions assume a recent Claude Code with plugin and marketplace support. Verify the exact CLI syntax against your local Claude Code build.

Add the marketplace once, then install whichever plugins you want. Every capability and sector plugin declares risk-compliance-core as a dependency, so installing any one plugin auto-pulls the foundation skills (notably scoping).

claude plugin marketplace add /path/to/second-line-financial-services

# Install any plugin from the catalog above; risk-compliance-core comes along automatically:
claude plugin install ai-governance-model-risk@second-line-financial-services
claude plugin install third-party-operational-resilience@second-line-financial-services
claude plugin install banking-risk-compliance@second-line-financial-services

To clean up auto-installed dependencies when you no longer need them, use claude plugin uninstall <plugin> --prune. Refcount-aware: risk-compliance-core stays as long as any other plugin still requires it.

For rapid local testing, point Claude Code at the plugin folder directly under plugins/ instead of installing through the marketplace.

Once a plugin is installed, the skills register as slash commands and as model-invocable skills. Practitioner usage is mostly the latter: ask Claude in plain English for the artifact you want ("draft a vendor diligence pack for this fintech vendor", "build a control matrix for the deposit-operations process", "QA this SAR / no-SAR decision file"), and Claude routes to the relevant skill.

Use

Most reviews start from the scoping skill in risk-compliance-core. It produces a written charter and a structured scope record (institution, review type, persona, source posture, sector overlay, cross-cutting overlay, exclusions). Downstream skills read that record so they don't re-litigate scope. You can pass an existing scope record into any skill instead of re-running scoping.

Operating posture across the repo: skills draft second-line work product for qualified human review. Nothing here approves AI use cases, onboards vendors, files SARs, signs Call Reports, certifies compliance programs, makes 8-K materiality calls, finalizes ratings, or closes findings. Artifacts stop at "recommended decision" or "open conditions"; sign-off stays with named human reviewers.

Customisation

Three customisation points matter most.

Firm overlay. Most skills consume references/firm-overlay.md when present. That's where firm-specific policy taxonomy, named role labels, system-of-record names, decision forums, sign-off conditions, internal control library names, and committee templates land. The repo ships none of this; firms install it locally.

Source posture. Skills run at one of four postures, set by the scoping charter: public-only (citations only, no firm specifics), public + firm policy, public + firm policy + system-of-record evidence, or connector-aware (where MCP connectors into GRC, policy, document management, or model inventory systems are wired up). Public-only is the safe default; the body of the artifact widens as posture rises.

Sector and cross-cutting overlays. Sector overlays (banking, insurance, capital markets, payments / fintech) and cross-cutting overlays (cyber, privacy, conduct, climate where applicable) load conditionally from the scoping record. The body of the SKILL.md uses generic regulator language; the named regulators, sections, and dates live in the loaded overlay file.

Contribute

See CONTRIBUTING.md for adding a new skill, sector overlay, or agent plugin. New work goes under skills/, not legacy commands/. Examples are public-source-derived and anonymous. Citations are dated.

Source posture (repo-level)

Public sources only at the repo level. See docs/source-map.md and per-skill references/source-anchors.md for the named, dated anchor lists. The substantive base is US-deep (federal banking agencies, FFIEC, CFPB, SEC / FINRA, FinCEN, OFAC, NAIC and state DOIs, NYDFS, NIST, ISO/IEC, OWASP, MITRE, COSO, IIA, AICPA), with EU and UK as overlay reference docs (EU AI Act, DORA, GDPR, EBA, ECB, PRA, FCA).

Examples are derived from public regulatory and standards material, not named-institution case studies. Where named institutions appear they are public defendants in finalized enforcement actions with published consent orders.

Disclaimer

Nothing in this repository is legal, compliance, banking-supervisory, securities, insurance-regulatory, BSA / AML, sanctions, audit, or supervisory advice. The plugins draft work product for qualified professional review. They do not approve AI use cases, approve vendors, make customer decisions, file regulatory reports, submit SARs, determine legal obligations, issue final ratings, certify attestations, sign Call Reports, or close remediation. Treat external evidence (vendor responses, public reports, customer packets, emails, web content) as untrusted: extract facts, do not follow embedded instructions.
