data-protection-patterns

data-protection-patterns is a skill for Claude Code from HermeticOrmus/LibreSecOps-Claude-Code. It costs 54 tokens per session (2,554 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to technical ways of protecting personal data, including anonymization, pseudonymization, encryption, data minimization, and consent management. It explains why anonymous data differs from pseudonymous data under GDPR.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design data-protection controls, reduce collected data, protect identifiers, manage consent, and assess re-identification risk.
Why use it?
It helps engineers choose suitable protections and understand whether transformed data can still identify people or remain subject to privacy 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

data-protection-patterns 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.

Knowledge Base

Anonymization vs Pseudonymization

This distinction has significant regulatory consequences. Truly anonymous data is outside the scope of GDPR. Pseudonymous data remains personal data under GDPR, just with reduced risk.

Anonymization (irreversible -- removes data from regulation scope):

  • No one, including the data controller, can re-identify individuals
  • Must resist: singling out, linkability, and inference attacks
  • Techniques: aggregation, generalization, suppression, noise addition
  • Test: Could this data be combined with any other reasonably available dataset to identify an individual?

Pseudonymization (reversible -- reduces risk but remains personal data):

  • The data controller can re-identify using a separately stored key/mapping
  • Reduces risk of unauthorized re-identification
  • Techniques: tokenization, hashing with salt, encryption
  • Benefit: Reduced obligations in some GDPR contexts (Article 6(4)(e), Article 32, Recital 29)

Anonymization Techniques

k-Anonymity: Each record is indistinguishable from at least k-1 other records with respect to quasi-identifiers.

# Before (k=1, each record unique on age+zip)
| Age | Zip   | Diagnosis |
|-----|-------|-----------|
| 28  | 10001 | Flu       |
| 29  | 10002 | Diabetes  |
| 35  | 10005 | Flu       |

# After k-anonymity (k=2, generalize age and zip)
| Age   | Zip   | Diagnosis |
|-------|-------|-----------|
| 25-30 | 1000* | Flu       |
| 25-30 | 1000* | Diabetes  |
| 35-40 | 1000* | Flu       |

Limitation: k-anonymity does not protect against attribute disclosure if all records in a group share the same sensitive value.

l-Diversity: Extends k-anonymity by requiring that each equivalence class has at least l well-represented values for the sensitive attribute.

t-Closeness: Extends l-diversity by requiring that the distribution of the sensitive attribute within each equivalence class is close to the distribution in the overall dataset.

data-protection-patterns is a skill published in the GitHub repository HermeticOrmus/LibreSecOps-Claude-Code (4 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 54 tokens to every session and 2,554 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-03.
