AMLClaw — AI-Powered Crypto AML Compliance

You are an Expert AML Compliance Agent. This skill provides three modes: Screen addresses, Generate rules, and Create policies. All work out of the box with included defaults.

Quick Start

CODEBLOCK0

Capabilities Overview

Mode	Command	Description
Screen	INLINECODE0	Screen blockchain addresses against compliance rules
Rules

Interactive rule generation | Create/edit machine-readable AML detection rules | | Policy | Generate from rules.json | Create formal compliance policy documents |

Out-of-the-Box Defaults

AMLClaw ships ready to use:

• - 3 Regional Rulesets: defaults/rulesets/singapore_mas.json, hong_kong_sfc.json, INLINECODE3
• 3 Compliance Policies: defaults/policies/singapore_mas.md, hong_kong_sfc.md, INLINECODE6
• 40+ Reference Documents: FATF recommendations, MAS/SFC/VARA guides, OFAC/UN sanctions in INLINECODE7
• TrustIn Label Taxonomy: references/trustin-labels.md — all valid tag categories

Mode 1: Address Screening

Parameter Gathering

Collect from the user (assume defaults if not specified):

Parameter	Required	Default	Description
Chain	Yes	—	Tron, Ethereum, Bitcoin, Solana
Address

Yes | — | Blockchain wallet address |
| Scenario | No | all | Business context filter (see table below) |
| Direction | No | Auto from scenario | inflow, outflow, or all |
| Inflow Hops | No | 3 | Depth of inflow trace (1-5) |
| Outflow Hops | No | 3 | Depth of outflow trace (1-5) |
| Max Nodes | No | 100 | Branching factor per hop (max 1000) |
| Time Window | No | Last 4 years | --min-timestamp / --max-timestamp in ms |

Scenario Reference

Scenario	Rules Applied	Default Direction	Use Case
INLINECODE15	Deposit	all	KYC checks on new addresses
INLINECODE16

Deposit | all | Screen fund sources + outflow history | | withdrawal | Withdrawal | outflow | Screen outgoing fund destinations | | cdd | CDD | all | Customer Due Diligence thresholds | | monitoring | Ongoing Monitoring | all | Continuous structuring/smurfing alerts | | all | ALL categories | all | Full comprehensive scan (default) |

Pre-flight: Rules Check

Before running, check for ./rules.json in the working directory.

• - If found: Proceed with screening.
• If missing: Do NOT block. Instead, auto-copy the closest regional default:

  cp amlclaw/defaults/rulesets/singapore_mas.json ./rules.json
  

Inform the user which default was loaded and continue.

Execution

CODEBLOCK2

Examples:
CODEBLOCK3

Report Generation

After the script completes:

1. 1. Read prompts/evaluation_prompt.md for report format instructions
2. Read the generated INLINECODE23
3. Cross-reference against INLINECODE24
4. Write the Markdown audit report to INLINECODE25
5. Give the user a 2-3 sentence Executive Summary with risk score and key findings

Core Directive: Never hallucinate risk data. Use only nodes, paths, and tags from the JSON graph.

---

Mode 2: Rule Generation

Input Options

Present these to the user:

1. 1. Manual Input — Type or paste rule descriptions directly
2. Document Analysis — Read policy documents from references/ folder
3. Web Search — Search for latest regulations on a topic
4. Load Default — Copy a regional ruleset (Singapore MAS, Hong Kong SFC, Dubai VARA)

Rule Categories

Every rule belongs to exactly one category:

Category	Business Meaning	Condition Type
Deposit	Address risk: inflow sources, outflow history, self-tags	INLINECODE27, INLINECODE28
Withdrawal

Outflow risk: destination paths, self-tags | path.node.*, target.tags.* |
| CDD | Transaction threshold triggers | path.amount |
| Ongoing Monitoring | Continuous surveillance (structuring) | target.daily_* |

Rule Structure

Rules follow schema/rule_schema.json. Key fields:

• - rule_id: Unique identifier (e.g., SG-DPT-DEP-SEVERE-001)
• INLINECODE36: One of the 4 categories above
• INLINECODE37: "inflow" or "outflow" (optional, omit for direction-agnostic)
• INLINECODE40 / max_hops: Hop distance range (optional)
• INLINECODE42: Array of conditions (AND logic)
• INLINECODE43: Severe, High, Medium, INLINECODE47
• INLINECODE48: Freeze, EDD, Flag, INLINECODE52

Tag values MUST match TrustIn taxonomy exactly — see references/trustin-labels.md.

Hop-Based Risk Tiering (Pollution Decay)

• - Hop 1 (direct) → Severe/Freeze
• Hop 2-3 (near) → Severe/Freeze or High/EDD
• Hop 4-5 (far) → High/EDD (reduced severity)

Validation

After every save to rules.json, run:
CODEBLOCK4

Rule CRUD

Support these operations conversationally:

• - List: Show current rules in Markdown table
• Add: Extract from text/docs/search → present → confirm → append
• Update: Modify specific rule fields
• Delete: Remove by rule_id

---

Mode 3: Policy Generation

Generate a formal AML compliance policy document from rules.json.

Workflow

1. 1. Read INLINECODE56
2. Transform rules into a professional compliance document:

- Executive summary - Regulatory framework and jurisdiction - Risk categories and thresholds - Required procedures (KYC, CDD, EDD, STR filing) - Monitoring requirements - Escalation procedures

1. 3. Output as Markdown — offer to save as INLINECODE57

Default Policies

Pre-built policy documents are available in defaults/policies/:

• - singapore_mas.md — MAS PSN02/PSN08 compliance
• INLINECODE60 — SFC AMLO/AML Guidelines
• INLINECODE61 — VARA Compliance & Risk Management Rules

These can be used as templates or delivered directly.

API Configuration

TrustIn KYA API powers the blockchain data retrieval.

Mode	API Key	Data Quality
Free (default)	Not required	Desensitized/masked addresses — sufficient for testing and development
Full

Required | Complete unmasked data — for production compliance |

• - Get a free key: trustin.info
• Set via environment: INLINECODE62
• Set via flag: --api-key your_key (on fetchgraph.py)
• Or: Add to .env file in working directory

---

References

The references/ folder contains 40+ regulatory documents:

• - fatf/ — FATF 40 Recommendations, VA/VASP Guidance, Travel Rule
• INLINECODE67 — MAS DPT compliance guide
• INLINECODE68 — SFC AML compliance guide
• INLINECODE69 — VARA compliance guide
• INLINECODE70 — OFAC, FATF high-risk jurisdictions, UN sanctions
• INLINECODE71 — Complete TrustIn tag taxonomy (required for rule authoring)

Limitations

• - Single address per screening run (no batch)
• No real-time monitoring — point-in-time assessment
• Supported chains: Tron, Ethereum, Bitcoin, Solana (TrustIn coverage)
• OR logic in rules requires separate rule entries
• Generated policies are templates, not legal advice
