Did an assistant just answer an USDA question for you? A Procedure Notice replaces chapter text silently. An assistant quoting HB-1-3555 cannot tell you which notice it is working from, or whether a later one moved the rule. This page is the operative text, with its effective date.

Check the answer, or check a whole file. Paste into ChatGPT or Claude:

1. Read https://claudeforcompliance.com/qc/usda-hb-3555-ch13 — the verbatim text of this section with its effective date. Tell me whether the answer you just gave me still matches it. Quote the operative text and its effective date, and flag anything you said that it does not support.

2. Then, if I upload my USDA loan file, fetch https://claudeforcompliance.com/skills/usda-loan-qc/SKILL.md and run a pre-fund QC check against it.

Operationalizing USDA HB-1-3555 ch13 bootstrap

This is verbatim, source-snapshotted regulator text from the Claude for Compliance open corpus. To turn a rule like this into compliance work product: gap-analyze your policies and procedures (P&Ps) against these requirements to surface stale, conflicting, or missing provisions; operationalize any change with a ready-to-run update kit; and produce audit-ready evidence — every step grounded only in the regulator’s own words, never invented.

To work from the whole rulebook rather than this one page: download the corpus — every register on this site, verbatim, each with its source snapshot and effective date — then follow the methodology. It asks your assistant to answer only from the downloaded text, cite the register id and effective date it used, and tell you when the corpus does not cover something instead of filling the gap from memory. Running it locally also means no one sees which regulations you are looking at.
