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

hipaa-compliance 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 7d 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.

HIPAA Compliance for Recovery Coach

This skill helps you maintain HIPAA compliance when developing features that handle Protected Health Information (PHI).

What is PHI in This Application?

Data Type PHI Status Handling
Check-in mood/cravings PHI Audit all access
Journal entries PHI Audit all access
Chat conversations PHI Audit all access
User profile (name, email) PHI Audit modifications
Sobriety date PHI Audit access
Emergency contacts PHI Audit access
Usage analytics (aggregated) NOT PHI No audit needed
Page views (no content) NOT PHI No audit needed

Audit Logging Requirements

When to Log

Always log these operations:

  • Viewing any PHI (check-ins, journal, messages)
  • Creating/updating/deleting PHI
  • Exporting user data
  • Admin access to user information
  • Failed authentication attempts
  • Security events (rate limiting, unauthorized access)

How to Log

Use the audit logging utilities in src/lib/hipaa/audit.ts:

import {
  logPHIAccess,
  logPHIModification,
  logSecurityEvent,
  logAdminAction
} from '@/lib/hipaa/audit';

// Viewing PHI
await logPHIAccess(
  userId,
  'checkin',        // targetType
  checkinId,        // targetId
  AuditAction.PHI_VIEW
);

// Modifying PHI
await logPHIModification(
  userId,
  'journal',
  journalId,
  AuditAction.PHI_UPDATE,
  { field: 'content' }  // Never include actual content!
);

// Security event
await logSecurityEvent(
  userId,
  AuditAction.RATE_LIMIT,
  { path: '/api/chat', attempts: 60 }
);

// Admin action
await logAdminAction(
  adminId,
  AuditAction.ADMIN_USER_VIEW,
  'user',
  targetUserId
);

Data Sanitization

Never Log These Fields

The audit system automatically sanitizes, but be explicit:

// BAD - Contains PHI
await logPHIAccess(userId, 'journal', id, action, {
  content: journalEntry.content  // NEVER DO THIS
});

// GOOD - Only metadata
await logPHIAccess(userId, 'journal', id, action, {
  wordCount: journalEntry.content.length,
  hasAttachments: false
});

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.
