## Overview

Guided elaboration of PCI-DSS scope documentation and SAQ support: cardholder data environment (CDE), network segmentation narrative, and control evidence mapping to SAQ requirements.

## Getting Started

Add your source materials to the project workspace, then activate the *PCI-DSS SAQ & Scope Author* skill. The agent will guide you through the process step by step.

## Example Conversation

> **You:** We need a PCI scope document and SAQ D support. We have a segmented network; cardholder data is only in our payment gateway.
>
> **Agent:** I'll draft the scope document (CDE, segmentation narrative) and then a requirement-by-requirement SAQ response pack with evidence references. For each requirement I'll mark Compliant, N/A with justification, or Out of scope with scope doc reference.
>
> **You:** Run the validator when done.
>
> **Agent:** I ran `check_pci_requirement_coverage`. Requirements referenced; N/A justifications present. No warnings.

## Sample Output Excerpt

**Requirement 1.1** — Compliant. Firewall at perimeter; evidence: network diagram, firewall rule review. **Requirement 2.2** — N/A. No default passwords in CDE; justification: all systems use SSO, no vendor defaults.

## Built-in Validation Tools

**check_pci_requirement_coverage** checks for: PCI requirement numbers, CDE/scope section, and justification when N/A or out-of-scope is used. Run on scope or SAQ document after drafting.
