Offline-capable, code-native AI governance scanning. The core scan runs locally, does not upload scanned file contents, and needs no account; telemetry is sent only with explicit opt-in consent. Regula flags patterns that may need review under the EU AI Act, South Korea's AI Basic Act, and Colorado SB 26-189, records the deployment facts code cannot show, and reports insufficient information rather than inventing a…

People who work with ai safety, compliance and static analysis and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

Its development corpora are single-reviewer records, and the o
