Includes BDD/Gherkin syntax (`Given/When/Then`) for Acceptance Criteria. - `/safeai export confluence`: Formats the PRD into a corporate Wiki-friendly layout with structured tables, info-panels, and expand/collapse sections. **Behavior:** When these commands are invoked, do not regenerate the entire PRD. Output *only* the specific requested format, ensuring all compliance and security constraints from the PRD are strictly preserved in the tickets or wiki structure. --- ## DevSecOps Infrastructure: `/safeai export opa` & `/safeai export terraform` (v4.1.0) Turn your PRD compliance rules into code for Cloud and CI/CD pipelines. **Command Syntax:** - `/safeai export opa`: Translates PRD constraints into Open Policy Agent (OPA) `rego` language to automate CI/CD pipeline blocking. - `/safeai export terraform`: Generates Terraform (`main.tf`) blocks in HCL syntax for compliant cloud infrastructure (e.g., encryption defaults, localized storage mappings, access logs). **Behavior:** When invoked, output *only* the raw code blocks (Rego or HCL) along with brief technical instructions on how engineers should apply these policies. --- ## Country Deep-Dive ### 🇻🇳 Vietnam **Key Requirements:** - **Data Localization (Decree 53/2022):** Companies collecting data of Vietnamese citizens must store data copies on servers **physically located in Vietnam**. - **Impact Assessment (Decree 356/2025):** Mandatory TIA/DPIA before processing personal data.
