Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00180 | $0.03453 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00090 | $0.01726 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00036 | $0.00691 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00018 | $0.00345 |
Grade A, and why
pci-audit 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 13d 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 — 213 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
PCI Audit — Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard
PCI DSS v4.0 (effective March 2025) is the security standard for any environment that stores, processes, or transmits payment card data. Twelve high-level requirements; hundreds of sub-requirements. Most organizations pass or fail on a single decision: scope.
This skill emphasizes scope determination first, then the engineering-relevant requirements. Final compliance attestation (SAQ self-assessment or QSA audit producing an Attestation of Compliance) is a process this skill prepares for — it is not the attestation itself.
Cross-references: crypto-audit for Req 3 / 4 cryptographic detail; iam-audit for Req 7-8; siem-detection for Req 10 logging; dependency-audit and owasp-audit for Req 6 (secure SDLC); incident-triage for Req 12.10 (incident response).
The scope question (do this first)
"Scope" in PCI DSS means: the systems that store, process, or transmit cardholder data (CHD), plus systems that can affect the security of those systems (connected-to and security-impacting systems). Everything in scope is subject to all 12 requirements. Everything out of scope is not.
Most PCI failures are scope failures. A system pulled into scope by accident creates years of compliance debt; a system kept out of scope via good architecture saves substantial cost.
Determine scope
For every system in the environment, classify:
| Type | Definition | In scope? |
|---|---|---|
| CDE (Cardholder Data Environment) | Stores, processes, or transmits PAN, expiration, service code, name when paired with PAN, or sensitive authentication data | Yes — full PCI DSS |
| Connected-to | Has direct connectivity to the CDE without compensating segmentation | Yes |
| Security-impacting | Provides security services to the CDE (auth, logging, monitoring, time sync, DNS) | Yes |
| Segmented | No direct connectivity; segmentation validated annually | No |
| Cardholder data flow only as masked / tokenized | The system handles tokens or masked PANs that cannot be reversed without out-of-band access | Usually No, but verify the token type — surrogate tokens reversible by the merchant are still in scope |
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.

pci-audit is a skill published in the GitHub repository briiirussell/cybersecurity-skills (391 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 180 tokens to every session and 3,453 once invoked, about $0.0009 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
