## Overview

Scan technical manuals for ITAR-controlled Defense Articles on the USML and flag content requiring export licenses. For USA defense sector; supports USML category tagging, Technical Data identification, ITAR vs EAR jurisdiction analysis, and redaction recommendations for export license submissions.

## Example Conversation

> **You:** We have an aircraft maintenance manual we may need to share with a foreign partner. Can you scan it for ITAR-controlled content and tell us which sections need redaction or a license?

> **Agent:** I'll run **usml_category_tagger** on the document. It will tag each section with a probable USML category (I–XXI), flag whether the content is Technical Data under 22 CFR 120.33, and suggest redaction levels. I'll then draft a review report with a controlled vs uncontrolled summary and recommended license type (e.g. DSP-5 if you apply for an export license).

> **Agent:** *(Runs the tagger.)* The tagger found 12 sections. Three are flagged as likely Technical Data: Section 4 (engine hot-section specs — USML XIX), Section 7 (radar parameters — USML XI), and Section 9 (guidance system description — USML IV). I've generated `output/export-control-review.md` with section-level tags, redaction recommendations, and an executive summary. For the exportable version, redact those three sections or obtain the appropriate license; the rest can be treated as uncontrolled or EAR99 after your SME confirms.

> **You:** Can we mark the document with inline annotations for our compliance team?

> **Agent:** I've added `[ITAR CONTROLLED — USML Cat. XIX]`, `[ITAR CONTROLLED — USML Cat. XI]`, and `[ITAR CONTROLLED — USML Cat. IV]` annotations to the three sections in the draft and updated the redaction report with the same tags. Your team can use this for the DSP-5 package or for internal release controls.
