# Policy

A comprehensive security policy management toolkit for generating policies, checking compliance strength, rotating access controls, auditing configurations, and managing credential lifecycles. Works entirely offline with local storage, zero configuration required.

Why Policy?

Commands

| Command | Description |

|---------|-------------|

| `policy generate <input>` | Generate security policies, compliance documents, or access rules |

| `policy check-strength <input>` | Check the strength of passwords, keys, or security configurations |

| `policy rotate <input>` | Rotate credentials, API keys, or access tokens |

| `policy audit <input>` | Audit security configurations, access logs, or compliance status |

| `policy store <input>` | Store security records, policy snapshots, or credential metadata |

| `policy retrieve <input>` | Retrieve stored policy records or credential metadata |

| `policy expire <input>` | Mark credentials or policies as expired, track expiration dates |

| `policy policy <input>` | Define, update, or review policy rules and baselines |

| `policy report <input>` | Generate security audit reports and compliance summaries |

| `policy hash <input>` | Hash values for verification, integrity checks, or storage |

| `policy verify <input>` | Verify hashes, signatures, or policy compliance status |

| `policy revoke <input>` | Revoke access tokens, certificates, or credentials |

| `policy stats` | Show summary statistics for all logged entries |

| `policy export <fmt>` | Export data (json, csv, or txt) |

| `policy search <term>` | Search across all logged entries |

| `policy recent` | Show last 20 activity entries |

| `policy status` | Health check — version, data dir, disk usage |

| `policy help` | Show full help with all available commands |

| `policy version` | Show current version (v2.0.0) |

Each core command (generate, check-strength, rotate, audit, store, retrieve, expire, policy, report, hash, verify, revoke) works in two modes:

Data Storage

All data is stored locally at `~/.local/share/policy/`. Each command maintains its own `.log` file (e.g., `generate.log`, `audit.log`, `rotate.log`). A unified `history.log` tracks all activity across commands with timestamps. Use the `export` command to back up your data in JSON, CSV, or plain text format at any time.

Requirements

When to Use

1. **Security compliance audits** — Run `policy audit` and `policy report` to document compliance posture and generate audit trails

2. **Credential rotation workflows** — Use `policy rotate` and `policy expire` to track and enforce regular credential rotation schedules

3. **Password and key strength assessment** — Run `policy check-strength` to evaluate the strength of passwords, keys, or security configs before deployment

4. **Policy document generation** — Use `policy generate` and `policy policy` to create, update, and maintain security policy documentation

5. **Access control lifecycle management** — Combine `policy store`, `policy retrieve`, `policy verify`, and `policy revoke` to manage the full lifecycle of credentials and access tokens

Examples

# Generate a security policy document
policy generate "SOC2 access control policy for production databases"

# Check password strength
policy check-strength "MyP@ssw0rd2024! — evaluate complexity and entropy"

# Rotate an API key
policy rotate "AWS IAM key for deployment-bot — rotated 2024-03-18"

# Audit firewall configuration
policy audit "iptables rules on prod-web-01 — check for open ports"

# Store credential metadata
policy store "GitHub PAT for CI/CD — expires 2024-06-01 — scope: repo,workflow"

# Verify a hash
policy verify "SHA256 checksum for release-v2.0.0.tar.gz"

# Revoke an expired token
policy revoke "OAuth2 refresh token for legacy-app — expired"

# View statistics across all commands
policy stats

# Export all data as CSV
policy export csv

# Search for a specific term
policy search "production"

Output

All commands return structured text to stdout. Redirect to a file with `policy <command> > output.txt`. Exported files are saved to the data directory with the chosen format extension.

Configuration

The data directory defaults to `~/.local/share/policy/`. The tool auto-creates this directory on first run.
