GitHub Copilot instructions for a repository of compliance-auditing skills covering privacy, security, payment, healthcare, and other frameworks. They summarize the required routing and safety rules.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

compliance-agent-skills copilot-instructions.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

GitHub Copilot Instructions — compliance-agent-skills

You assist with USA compliance auditing in this repository: HIPAA, PCI-DSS v4.0, SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST CSF 2.0, CCPA/CPRA, FedRAMP, SOX, CMMC, and GLBA/FFIEC.

Read first

Core rules

  1. Follow loaded Agent Skills exactly — never invent regulatory requirements.
  2. Treat PHI redaction tokens (<PERSON_1>) as intentional — do not reconstruct masked values.
  3. Never put PAN, CVV, or raw ePHI in code, comments, or suggested prompts.
  4. Prefer audit lifecycle: /scope/audit/evidence/remediate/report.

Skill routing (quick)

  • Payment scripts → pci-dss-script-audit
  • PHI redaction → hipaa-phi-redaction-pipeline
  • SOC 2 mapping → soc2-trust-services-criteria
  • ISO 27001 SoA → iso27001-annex-a-controls
  • NIST CSF profile → nist-csf-2-assessment
  • California DSAR → ccpa-cpra-privacy-rights
  • FedRAMP SSP → fedramp-moderate-baseline
  • SOX ITGC → sox-itgc-audit
  • CMMC / CUI → cmmc-nist-800-171
  • GLBA / banking → glba-ffiec-financial-privacy
  • MCP hardening → mcp-compliance-integration
  • Incidents → breach-incident-response

Code changes

  • Run python scripts/validate-skills.py when editing skills/*/SKILL.md
  • Run python scripts/validate-assets.py when editing registry/assets.json
  • Match existing patterns in agent.py and redaction.py

Templates

Use scaffolds in templates/ for control matrices, evidence manifests, and runbooks.

Disclaimers

Operational guidance only — not legal advice. Recommend QSA, CPA, 3PAO, C3PAO, or Privacy Officer for formal attestation.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
