Check your VA loan file against the Lenders Handbook (M26-7) — a DIY QC skill

Upload a VA loan file to ChatGPT or Claude and this skill runs a quality-control check against the verbatim VA Lenders Handbook (M26-7) across three areas — eligibility & entitlement, credit underwriting (VA residual income and DTI), and property & valuation (Minimum Property Requirements) — returning, per item, No Exception / Exception / Needs-Doc with the rule cite. It’s a checker, not an approve/deny. Get it below.

🔒 Your loan file stays in your own AI session. Claude for Compliance never receives your documents. It’s a working draft for your underwriter/compliance review — not an underwriting decision, not legal advice.

How it runs

  1. 1 Paste the one line

    In ChatGPT or Claude:

    Fetch https://claudeforcompliance.com/skills/va-loan-qc/SKILL.md and use it to run a QC check on my VA loan file — I'll upload the documents.
  2. 2 Upload your loan file

    1003/URLA, Certificate of Eligibility, AUS findings, credit report, income docs, VA Form 26-6393 Loan Analysis, appraisal / Notice of Value — whatever you have. Missing docs are flagged as Needs-Doc, not failures.

  3. 3 Get a cited QC

    Each check comes back No Exception / Exception / N/A / Needs-Doc with the verbatim M26-7 cite, plus a summary of exceptions and documents to pull. One pass.

What it checks (v1)

Grounded only in verbatim VA M26-7 — it never invents a requirement and flags anything it can’t ground. FHA and USDA versions are live; Fannie/Freddie on the roadmap.
