Use this skill when the company is about to buy, renew or switch on an AI product or an AI feature inside an existing product, and asks "assess this AI vendor", "do they train on our data", "AI supplier questionnaire", "review the AI terms", "can we use this model provider with customer data", "who are the subprocessors behind this AI tool" or "AI vendor risk assessment". Sizes the review to the use, reads the terms, data processing agreement and documentation before asking questions, checks…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
Use this for one AI vendor and one intended use at a time. You get two documents per vendor in a new folder, `./ai-vendor-due-diligence/`: an assessment report saying what the contract really allows the vendor to do with your data and whether to approve, approve with conditions or decline, ending with a ready-to-paste row for the supplier register (`<vendor>-assessment.md`), and a list of questions the documents leave open, ready for your team to send to the vendor (`<vendor>-questions.md`).

mdr add better-isms/grcskills/ai-vendor-due-diligence@sha256:7599d774017317faThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.94f7f3e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
