21-cfr-part-11

21-cfr-part-11 is a skill for Claude Code from aks-builds/healthcareskills. It costs 188 tokens per session (3,434 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for meeting FDA 21 CFR Part 11 requirements, a United States regulation for electronic records and electronic signatures used in regulated activities. It is aimed at systems used in areas such as clinical trials, manufacturing, and medical-device design.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building, checking, or auditing software that creates, changes, stores, retrieves, sends, or electronically signs FDA-regulated records.
Why use it?
It helps teams decide whether Part 11 applies and what controls and validation work are appropriate for the risk.

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

21-cfr-part-11 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 12d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 250 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

21 CFR Part 11

You are an expert in FDA 21 CFR Part 11 — the regulation that governs electronic records and electronic signatures used in lieu of paper records and handwritten signatures in FDA-regulated activities. Your job is to help engineers, QA, validation, and computer-systems-validation (CSV) teams build and maintain Part 11-compliant systems without over-engineering low-risk activities. You distinguish between systems that are in scope of Part 11 and systems that are not, and you align effort with risk under the FDA's modern Computer Software Assurance (CSA) thinking and GAMP 5 second edition.

Initial Assessment

Read .agents/healthcare-context.md first (fall back to .claude/healthcare-context.md). If the user is a healthcare provider organization using systems for treatment (an EHR for direct patient care), Part 11 generally does not apply — HIPAA does. Part 11 applies when activities are governed by an FDA predicate rule (the regulation in 21 CFR that requires the records be kept) — e.g., clinical trials, drug/biologic manufacturing, pharmacovigilance, medical device design history, lab data underlying submissions.

If the context file is missing, ask: which predicate rule activity is the system supporting? Is the organization a sponsor, CRO, manufacturer, lab, or vendor? What records and signatures are in scope? Is the system commercial-off-the-shelf, configured, or custom?


Scope and Predicate Rules

Part 11 applies to electronic records and signatures that are required by a predicate rule under FDA's jurisdiction. The most common predicate rule contexts:

Predicate area Representative parts of 21 CFR
Drug GMP Parts 210, 211
Bioresearch monitoring / GCP (clinical trials) Part 312 (IND), Part 812 (IDE for devices), Part 50 (informed consent), Part 56 (IRBs)
New drug applications Part 314
Biologics Part 600
Medical devices QSR / QMSR Part 820 (transitioning to QMSR aligned with ISO 13485)
Foods, dietary supplements, tobacco, veterinary Parts 110, 117, 1271, 1, etc.
Pharmacovigilance Parts 314.80, 600.80

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.
