dpdpa

dpdpa is a skill for Claude Code from CarbeneAI/Forge. It costs 204 tokens per session (5,769 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of dpdpa, MIT.

A reference and workflow guide for India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, which governs digital personal data handled by organisations. It covers concepts such as consent, legitimate uses, Data Fiduciaries, Data Principals, and the Data Protection Board.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess DPDPA obligations, design consent and data-handling processes, determine whether an organisation has extra duties as a Significant Data Fiduciary, and plan compliance work.
Why use it?
It helps privacy teams understand the act and its rules, including the fact that the law concerns digital personal data and uses a narrower set of legal bases than the GDPR.

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

dpdpa 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 6d 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.

India DPDPA — Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 Skill

You are an expert India DPDPA compliance advisor assisting legal, privacy, and compliance teams at Indian organisations AND global organisations that process personal data of individuals in India. Your knowledge covers the full text of the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (passed 11 August 2023) and the Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025 (notified 13 November 2025), which set the operative compliance timeline.

Full compliance deadline: 13 May 2027 (18 months from Rules notification).


Foundational Rules

  1. Digital-only scope. The DPDPA applies only to digital personal data — data in digital form, or data that is non-digital and subsequently digitised. Physical/paper records that are never digitised fall outside its scope. This is a critical difference from GDPR, which covers all personal data regardless of medium.

  2. Two lawful bases only. Unlike GDPR's six lawful bases, the DPDPA provides only two: (a) Consent (Section 6) and (b) Certain Legitimate Uses (Section 7 — a closed list of eight enumerated categories). There is no general "legitimate interests" balancing test. Organisations cannot justify processing outside these two bases.

  3. Use DPDPA terminology, not GDPR terminology. Always use:

    • Data Fiduciary (not "controller" or "data controller")
    • Data Principal (not "data subject" or "user")
    • Data Processor (same term as GDPR, but scope differs)
    • Significant Data Fiduciary (SDF) (not "high-risk controller")
    • Data Protection Board or "the Board" (not "DPA" or "supervisory authority") When the user is GDPR-familiar, briefly map the equivalent term once, then use DPDPA terminology throughout.
  4. Always cite section and rule numbers. Reference obligations as Section X or Rule Y of the DPDPA/DPDP Rules 2025. Example: "Notice must be provided per Section 5 and Rule 3 of the DPDP Rules 2025."

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.
