## Security Preamble
|
|
8
|
+
|
|
9
|
+
- **Never** display EINs, SSNs, or full tax IDs in responses. Mask with `***-**-XXXX` format.
|
|
10
|
+
- Mask sensitive values by default. Only reveal if the user explicitly requests it.
|
|
11
|
+
- Do not store or repeat raw sensitive data in conversation history.
|
|
12
|
+
- **Disclaimer**: Forcefield provides compliance guidance, not legal advice. Verify all filings with official state sources or qualified counsel.

## Formatting Conventions
|
|
17
|
+
|
|
18
|
+
Use these conventions consistently in all responses:
|
|
19
|
+
|
|
20
|
+
- **Status markers**: `[PASS]`, `[OVERDUE]`, `[DUE SOON]`, `[UPCOMING]`, `[N/A]`, `[ACTION]`
|
|
21
|
+
- **Sections**: `##` for major sections, `###` for subsections
|
|
22
|
+
- **Structured data**: Markdown tables
|
|
23
|
+
- **Warnings/disclaimers**: Blockquotes (`>`)
|
|
24
|
+
- **Reference numbers, dates, amounts**: Inline code (`` ` ``)
|
|
25
|
+
- **Section breaks**: Horizontal rules (`---`)
|
|
26
|
+
- **Severity framing**: Overdue = "Fix now →", Due soon = "Coming up →", Upcoming = "On your radar"
|

|
+
## Step 0: Auth Check
|
|
31
|
+
|
|
32
|
+
Call `ff_system(action: "health")` to verify the Forcefield connection is active.
|
|
33
|
+
|
|
34
|
+
- If the health check fails, tell the user: "Forcefield isn't connected. Re-run Forcefield setup for this repo and verify the `forcefield` MCP server is connected."
|
|
35
|
+
- If the health check succeeds, proceed to Step 1.
|
|
36
|
+
|
|
37
|
+

|
|
38
|
+
|
|
39
|
+
## Step 1: Entity Selection
|
|
40
|
+
|
|
41
|
+
Call `ff_company(action: "list")` to check for existing companies.
|
|
42
|
+
|
|
43
|
+
**If no companies exist** → show empty state and stop:
|
|
44
|
+
|
|
45
|
+
```
|
|
46
|
+
## No Companies Yet
|
|
47
|
+
|
|
48
|
+
You haven't set up a company. Run `/ff-onboard` to create your first company profile before running a gap check.
|
|
49
|
+
```
|
|
50
|
+
|
|
51
|
+
**If one company exists** → confirm: "I'll run a compliance gap check on **[company name]** ([entity type], [state])."
|
|
52
|
+
|
|
53
|
+
**If multiple companies exist** → list them and ask which one to audit.
|
|
54
|
+
|
|
55
|
+
Proceed to Step 2 with the selected company.
|
|
56
|
+
|
|
57
|
+

|
|
58
|
+
|
|
59
|
+
## Step 2: Profile Completeness Check
|
|
60
|
+
|
|
61
|
+
Call `ff_company(action: "get", companyId: <ID>)` to check the current profile.
|
|
62
|
+
|
|
63
|
+
Identify missing fields that would affect compliance evaluation:
|
|
64
|
+
|
|
65
|
+
- `has_employees` — determines payroll tax filings
|
|
66
|
+
- `has_payroll` — determines EDD/payroll-specific filings
|
|
67
|
+
- `fiscal_year_end` — determines tax filing due dates
|
|
68
|
+
- `foreign_registrations` — determines multi-state obligations
|
|
69
|
+
- `officers` — needed for governance filings
|
|
70
|
+
- `registered_agent_name` — required in most states
|
|
71
|
+
|
|
72
|
+
**If fields are missing**, note them:
|
|
73
|
+
|
|
74
|
+
```
|
|
75
|
+
### Profile Gaps
|
|
76
|
+
|
|
77
|
+
Your profile is missing some fields that affect compliance evaluation:
|
|
78
|
+
|
|
79
|
+
| Missing Field | Impact |
|
|
80
|
+
|--------------|--------|
|
|
81
|
+
| Employees status | Can't evaluate **[N]** payroll tax filings |
|
|
82
|
+
| Fiscal year end | Tax deadlines may be inaccurate |
|
|
83
|
+
| Foreign registrations | Multi-state obligations unknown |
|
|
84
|
+
|
|
85
|
+
> Complete these with `/ff-onboard` to get a more accurate gap check. I'll proceed with what I have.
|
|
86
|
+
```
|
|
87
|
+
|
|
88
|
+
Proceed to Step 3 regardless — always produce a report with available data.
|
|
89
|
+
|
|

|
|
91
|
+
|
|
92
|
+
## Step 3: Evaluate Compliance Gaps
|
|
93
|
+
|
|
94
|
+
Call:
|
|
95
|
+
|
|
96
|
+
```
|
|
97
|
+
ff_compliance(action: "score", companyId: <ID>)
|
|
98
|
+
ff_compliance(action: "list_deadlines", companyId: <ID>, status: "overdue")
|
|
99
|
+
ff_compliance(action: "list_deadlines", companyId: <ID>, status: "pending")
|
|
100
|
+
```
|
|
101
|
+
|
|
102
|
+
Categorize all findings by severity:
|
|
103
|
+
|
|
104
|
+
- **Critical**: Overdue items with penalties or legal risk
|
|
105
|
+
- **High**: Due within 30 days
|
|
106
|
+
- **Medium**: Due within 31–90 days or missing governance items
|
|
107
|
+
- **Low**: Due beyond 90 days or best-practice items
|
|
108
|

|
|
150
|
+
```
|
|
151
|
+
|
|
152
|
+
For each critical item, call `ff_compliance(action: "guide", ruleId: <ID>)` to fetch a brief remediation summary. Include a one-line remediation hint in the Action column when available.
|
|
153
|

> Disclaimer: Gap analysis is based on your company profile and known compliance rules. It may not cover all obligations. Consult qualified counsel for comprehensive compliance review.
|

## Compliance Gap Report: [Company Name]
|
|
160
|
+
|
|
161
|
+
[PASS] **No compliance gaps found. Score: 100/100.**
|
|
162
|
+
|
|
163
|
+
All obligations are current. Keep it up!

168
|
+
## Step 5: Next Steps
|
|
169
|
+
|
|
170
|
+
Based on the gap report, suggest the most relevant next action:
|
|
171
|
+
|
|
172
|
+
**If critical or high gaps found**:
|
|
173
|
+
> [ACTION] You have **[count]** items that need attention. Run `/ff-remediate` to work through fixing them step by step.
|
|
174
|
+
|
|
175
|
+
**If only medium/low gaps**:
|
|
176
|
+
> Looking good overall. Run `/ff-file` when you're ready to tackle upcoming filings, or `/ff-status` for a quick check anytime.
|
|
177
|
+
|
|
178
|
+
**If no gaps**:
|
|
179
|
+
> [PASS] Your compliance is in great shape. Run `/ff-doc-gen` to generate any governance documents you need, or `/ff-cap-table` to set up equity tracking.

## Notes for Implementation
|
|
184
|
+
|
|
185
|
+
- This workflow always produces a report, even with incomplete profile data
|
|
186
|
+
- Profile gaps are noted as informational — they don't block the audit
|
|
187
|
+
- Severity ranking: overdue > due within 30d > due within 90d > beyond 90d
|
|
188
|
+
- Use `ff_compliance(action: "guide")` only for critical items to keep the report focused
|
|
189
|
+
- Connected sequence: gap-check → remediate (for issues) or doc-gen/cap-table (if clean)

## Step 3: Check for Company Context
|
|
62
|
+
|
|
63
|
+
Call `ff_company(action: "list")` to check if the user has any companies.
|
|
64
|
+
|
|
65
|
+
**If no companies exist**, show:
|
|
66
|

```
|
|
68
|
+
### Getting Started
|
|
69
|
+
|
|
70
|
+
You haven't set up a company yet. Run `/ff-onboard` to create your first company profile and see your compliance calendar.
|
|
71
|
+
```
|
|
72
|
+
|
|
73
|
+
Then stop — do not proceed to Step 3.
|
|
74
|
+
|
|
75
|
+
**If companies exist**, proceed to Step 4.
|
|
76
|
+
|
|
77
|
+

|
|
78
|
+
|
|
79
|
+
## Step 4: Show Live Status
|
|
80
|
+
|
|
81
|
+
Call `ff_system(action: "health")` to get the current compliance state.
|
|
82
|
+
|
|
83
|
+
Show a live status summary:
|
|
84
|
+

```
|
|
86
|
+
### Your Status

+
|
|
96
|
+
## Step 5: Suggest Next Action
|
|
97
|
+
|
|
98
|
+
Based on the compliance state, suggest the most relevant next action:
|
|
99
|
+
|
|
100
|
+
**If overdue items > 0**:
|
|
101
|
+
> [ACTION] You have **[count]** overdue items. Run `/ff-remediate` to fix them.
|
|
102
|
+
|
|
103
|
+
**If score < 50**:
|
|
104
|
+
> [ACTION] Your compliance score is low. Run `/ff-gap-check` to identify what's missing.
|
|
105
|
+
|
|
106
|
+
**If profile completeness < 80%**:
|
|
107
|
+
> Run `/ff-onboard` to complete your profile — this will improve the accuracy of your compliance calendar.
|
|
108
|
+
|
|
109

## Notes for Implementation
|
|
115
|
+
|
|
116
|
+
- This workflow has **no prerequisites** — it works even before onboarding
|
|
117
|
+
- Primary entrypoint is `/ff-onboard`. `/ff-start` is optional for troubleshooting/connection checks.
|
|
118
|
+
- If `ff_system(action: "health")` fails, show the command reference only and suggest:
|
|
119
|
+
1. run `forcefield-setup` in terminal
|
|
120
|
+
2. restart/reload coding agent chat
|
|
121
|
+
3. run `/mcp` in Claude Code and confirm `forcefield` is connected
|
|
122
|
+
- Check whether suggested commands are implemented before showing them. If a command is not yet available, append "(coming soon)" to its description

## Security Preamble
|
|
8
|
+
|
|
9
|
+
- **Never** display EINs, SSNs, or full tax IDs in responses. Mask with `***-**-XXXX` format.
|
|
10
|
+
- Mask sensitive values by default. Only reveal if the user explicitly requests it.
|
|
11
|
+
- Do not store or repeat raw sensitive data in conversation history.
|
|
12
|
+
- **Disclaimer**: Forcefield provides compliance guidance, not legal advice. Verify all filings with official state sources or qualified counsel.

|
+
## Formatting Conventions
|
|
17
|
+
|
|
18
|
+
Use these conventions consistently in all responses:
|
|
19
|
+
|
|
20
|
+
- **Status markers**: `[PASS]`, `[OVERDUE]`, `[DUE SOON]`, `[UPCOMING]`, `[N/A]`, `[ACTION]`
|
|
21
|
+
- **Sections**: `##` for major sections, `###` for subsections
|
|
22
|
+
- **Structured data**: Markdown tables
|
|
23
|
+
- **Warnings/disclaimers**: Blockquotes (`>`)
|
|
24
|
+
- **Reference numbers, dates, amounts**: Inline code (`` ` ``)
|
|
25
|
+
- **Section breaks**: Horizontal rules (`---`)
|
|
26
|
+
- **Severity framing**: Overdue = "Fix now →", Due soon = "Coming up →", Upcoming = "On your radar"
|
|

## Step 0: Auth Check
|
|
31
|
+
|
|
32
|
+
Before the first tool call, give a one-sentence orientation:
|
|
33
|
+
|
|
34
|
+
> I’ll guide this step by step and explain each question before saving anything.
|
|
35
|
+
|
|
36
|
+
If user seems confused about slash commands, clarify:
|
|
37
|
+
- slash commands run in IDE chat, not terminal
|
|
38
|
+
- this flow can continue by normal replies like "yes", "skip", "continue"
|
|
39
|
+
|
|
40
|
+
Call `ff_system(action: "health")` to verify the Forcefield connection is active.
|
|
41
|
+
|
|
42
|
+
- If the health check fails, tell the user: "Forcefield isn't connected. Re-run the Forcefield setup for this repo and verify the `forcefield` MCP server is connected."
|
|
43
|
+
- If the health check succeeds, proceed to Step 1.
|
|
44
|
+
|
|
45

|
|

|
+
|
|
47
|
+
## Step 1: Entity Selection
|
|
48
|
+
|
|
49
|
+
Call `ff_company(action: "list")` to check for existing companies.
|
|
50
|
+
|
|
51
|
+
**If no companies exist** → proceed to Step 2 (New Company Fast Path).
|
|
52
|
+
|
|
53
|
+
**If one company exists** → confirm: "I found **[company name]** ([entity type], [state]). Want to continue onboarding this company?"
|
|
54
|
+
- If yes → proceed to Step 3 (Smart Ingestion).
|
|
55
|
+
- If no → ask if they want to create a new company → proceed to Step 2.
|
|
56
|
+
|
|
57
|
+
**If multiple companies exist** → list them and ask which one to onboard, or offer to create a new one.
|
|
58
|
+
|
|
59
|
+

|
|

|
+
|
|
61
|
+
## Step 2: New Company — 3-Question Fast Path
|
|
62
|
+
|
|
63
|
+
> **What you'll need**: Your entity type, state of formation, and formation date. This takes about 60 seconds.
|
|
64
|
+
|
|
65
|
+
Ask these three questions **one at a time**, confirming each answer:
|
|
66
|
+
|
|
67
|
+
1. **Entity type**: "What type of entity is this? (C-Corp, S-Corp, LLC, etc.)"
|
|
68
|
+
2. **State of formation**: "Which state was it formed in?"
|
|
69
|
+
3. **Formation date**: "When was it formed? (approximate date is fine)"
|
|
70
|
+
|
|
71
|
+
Once all three are answered, call:
|
|
72
|
+
|
|
73
|
+
```
|
|
74
|
+
ff_company(action: "create", name: <ask for company name>, entityType: <answer>, stateOfFormation: <answer>, formationDate: <answer>)
|
|
75
|
+
```
|
|
76
|
+
|
|
77
|
+
Proceed to **Step 3: Smart Intake & Ingestion** with the new company ID.
|
|
78
|
+
|
|
79
|
+
At each question, add one short reason ("Why this matters") before asking.
|
|
80
|
+
|
|
81
|
+

|
|
82
|
+
|
|
83
|
+
## Step 3: Smart Intake & Ingestion
|
|
84
|
+
|
|
85
|
+
Call `ff_company(action: "get", companyId: <ID>)` to check the current profile and completeness score.
|
|
86
|
+
|
|
87
|
+
Show the user:
|
|
88
|
+
|
|
89
|
+
```
|
|
90
|
+
### Profile Completeness: [score]%
|
|
91
|
+
|
|
92
|
+
Populated: [list of filled fields]
|
|
93
|
+
Missing: [list of missing fields]
|
|
94
|
+
```
|
|
95
|
+
|
|
96
|
+
Build and maintain a **Data Bedrock** checklist. Do not generate deadlines until Bedrock is complete.
|
|
97
|
+
|
|
98
|
+
Minimum Bedrock fields:
|
|
99
|
+
- entity type
|
|
100
|
+
- state of formation
|
|
101
|
+
- formation date
|
|
102
|
+
- operating states timeline (start/end/current)
|
|
103
|
+
- foreign registration status for each operating state
|
|
104
|
+
- tax cadence (`annual` vs `quarterly`)
|
|
105
|
+
- contractor usage (`usesContractors` true/false)
|
|
106
|
+
|
|
107
|
+
Before generating deadlines, collect these high-impact fields one question at a time:
|
|
108
|
+
|
|
109
|
+
1. **Operating states timeline**:
|
|
110
|
+
- "Besides [state of formation], what other states have you operated in?"
|
|
111
|
+
- For each state: start date, whether still active, and (if inactive) end date.
|
|
112
|
+
2. **Foreign registration status per state**:
|
|
113
|
+
- "Were you formally registered there as a foreign entity?"
|
|
114
|
+
3. **Tax cadence confirmation**:
|
|
115
|
+
- "Do you make quarterly estimated federal tax payments, or file/pay annually only?"
|
|
116
|
+
4. **Contractor usage**:
|
|
117
|
+
- "Do you pay independent contractors (1099-NEC)?".
|
|
118
|
+
5. **Optional governance/privacy applicability**:
|
|
119
|
+
- "Do you want Forcefield to track privacy/internal-IP/internal-policy review obligations for this company?"
|
|
120
|
+
|
|
121
|
+
Save each answer immediately with `ff_company(action: "update", ...)`.
|
|
122
|
+
|
|
123
|
+
Use these exact update fields:
|
|
124
|
+
|
|
125
|
+
- state timeline / registration:
|
|
126
|
+
- `foreignRegistrations: [{ state, registrationDate, endDate, status }]`
|
|
127
|
+
- estimated tax cadence:
|
|
128
|
+
- `estimatedTaxCadence: "annual" | "quarterly"`
|
|
129
|
+
- contractor usage:
|
|
130
|
+
- `usesContractors: true | false`
|
|
131
|
+
- optional privacy/IP category flags:
|
|
132
|
+
- `dataPrivacyProgramRequired: true | false`
|
|
133
|
+
- `ipGovernanceRequired: true | false`
|
|
134
|
+
|
|
135
|
+
### Document Ingestion Offer (evidence-first)
|
|
136
|
+
|
|
137
|
+
Offer document ingestion after the first 2-3 manual questions:
|
|
138
|
+
|
|
139
|
+
"Have your formation and tax docs handy? (Certificate of Incorporation, EIN letter, state tax notices, foreign registration docs, cap table exports). I can extract details automatically."
|
|
140
|
+
|
|
141
|
+
If the user provides a path, call:
|
|
142
|
+
|
|
143
|
+
```
|
|
144
|
+
ff_scan(action: "file", companyId: <ID>, filePath: <path>)
|
|
145
|
+
```
|
|
146
|
+
|
|
147
|
+
When scan output **or file names** suggest another state (e.g., CA voucher/forms, IN registration docs), ask targeted clarification immediately.
|
|
148
|
+
|
|
149
|
+
State-signal examples to treat as evidence:
|
|
150
|
+
- CA: `California`, `CA`, `FTB`, `SI-550`, `Statement of Information`, `Form 100`, `payment voucher`
|
|
151
|
+
- IN: `Indiana`, `IN`, `Business Entity Report`, `Secretary of State`
|
|
152
|
+
|
|
153
|
+
For each detected state signal, ask:
|
|
154
|
+
- "I found evidence of [state] operations. What was your operating timeline there (start date, end date if any)?"
|
|
155
|
+
- "Were you foreign-qualified there, and is that registration still active?"
|
|
156
|
+
|
|
157
|
+
After state-specific questions, always ask:
|
|
158
|
+
- "Any other states besides [formation state + detected states] where you operated, had employees, or had a physical presence?"
|
|
159
|
+
|
|
160
|
+
Tax cadence defaulting rule:
|
|
161
|
+
- If documents/user statements indicate quarterly estimated payments, set `estimatedTaxCadence: "quarterly"`.
|
|
162
|
+
- Otherwise, default to `estimatedTaxCadence: "annual"` and tell the user: "I’m defaulting tax cadence to annual unless we find quarterly evidence."
|
|
163
|
+
|
|
164
|
+
Persist that default with:
|
|
165
|
+
|
|
166
|
+
```
|
|
167
|
+
ff_company(action: "update", companyId: <ID>, estimatedTaxCadence: "annual")
|
|
168
|
+
```
|
|
169
|
+
|
|
170
|
+
### Bedrock Gate Before Compliance Generation
|
|
171
|
+
|
|
172
|
+
Before calling compliance generation, present a short Bedrock status:
|
|
173
|
+
|
|
174
|
+
```
|
|
175
|
+
## Data Bedrock Status
|
|
176
|
+
|
|
177
|
+
| Field | Status |
|
|
178
|
+
|------|--------|
|
|
179
|
+

|
|
184
|
+
```
|
|
185
|
+
|
|
186
|
+
Only if all Bedrock rows are `[PASS]`, call:
|
|
187
|
+
|
|
188
|
+
```
|
|
189
|
+
ff_compliance(action: "generate_deadlines", companyId: <ID>)
|
|
190
|
+
ff_compliance(action: "score", companyId: <ID>)
|
|
191
|

```
|
|
192
|

|
|
197
|

## Step 4: Calendar Reveal
|
|
198
|

|
|
199
|

## Step 5: Progressive Profile Collection
|
|
238
|
+
|
|
239
|
+
After showing the calendar, continue collecting any remaining profile data to improve accuracy. Work through missing fields guided by the completeness checklist.
|
|
240
|
+
|
|
241
|
+
**For each missing field**, explain its impact:
|
|
242
|
+
|
|
243
|
+
- "Do you have employees or plan to hire? → *Answering this determines whether payroll tax filings (Forms 940, 941, W-2) apply to you.*"
|
|
244
|
+
- "What is your fiscal year end? (most startups use 12/31) → *This affects your federal tax return deadline.*"
|
|
245
|
+
- "Do you have a registered agent? → *Required in your state of formation. I can help you find one.*"
|
|
246
|
+
- "Who are the company officers/directors? → *Needed for annual reports and corporate governance filings.*"
|
|
247
|
+
- "Do you have an EIN? → *Required for tax filings and opening a bank account.*"
|
|
248
|
+
|
|
249
|
+
For each answer, call `ff_company(action: "update", ...)` to save it.
|
|
250
|
+
|
|
251
|
+
After each update, briefly note what improved: "Got it. Your federal tax deadlines are now more accurate."
|
|
252
|
+
|
|
253
|
+
**Check existing data before each question** — skip fields that are already populated.
|
|
254
|
+
|
|
255
|
+
When suggesting optional categories (privacy/IP/internal policy), frame as opt-in unless evidence says otherwise.
|
|
256

|

|
+
## Step 6: Deferred Question Transparency
|
|
260
|
+
|
|
261
|
+
For any profile questions the user skips or defers, explain the impact:
|
|
262
|
+
|
|
263
|
+
```
|
|
264
|
+
### Deferred Items
|
|
265
|
+
|
|
266
|
+
- **EIN**: Needed for → Federal Form 1120, Form 941, Form W-2
|
|
267
|
+
- **Officers**: Needed for → Annual stockholder meeting, corporate minutes
|
|
268
|
+
- **Fiscal year end**: Needed for → Accurate federal tax return deadline
|
|
269
|
+
|
|
270
|
+
You can come back anytime with `/ff-onboard` to fill these in.
|
|
271
