hipaa-compliance

hipaa-compliance is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from nklofy/code-agent-skills. It costs 47 tokens per session (777 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of hipaa-compliance, Apache-2.0.

A focused guide to HIPAA, the United States law governing privacy and security for protected health information. It explains when to apply broader healthcare data-protection practices to systems that store, process, or transmit patient information.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a healthcare software task explicitly involves HIPAA, PHI, covered entities, business associates, breach risk, or minimum-necessary access. It provides the compliance entry point for US healthcare projects.
Why use it?
It helps identify HIPAA obligations and risks involving covered entities, business associates, agreements, logging, analytics, artificial-intelligence prompts, and support workflows. It points implementation work toward the broader healthcare privacy guidance when needed.

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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 80 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

HIPAA Compliance

Use this as the HIPAA-specific entrypoint when a task is clearly about US healthcare compliance. This skill intentionally stays thin and canonical:

  • healthcare-phi-compliance remains the primary implementation skill for PHI/PII handling, data classification, audit logging, encryption, and leak prevention.
  • healthcare-reviewer remains the specialized reviewer when code, architecture, or product behavior needs a healthcare-aware second pass.
  • security-review still applies for general auth, input-handling, secrets, API, and deployment hardening.

When to Use

  • The request explicitly mentions HIPAA, PHI, covered entities, business associates, or BAAs
  • Building or reviewing US healthcare software that stores, processes, exports, or transmits PHI
  • Assessing whether logging, analytics, LLM prompts, storage, or support workflows create HIPAA exposure
  • Designing patient-facing or clinician-facing systems where minimum necessary access and auditability matter

How It Works

Treat HIPAA as an overlay on top of the broader healthcare privacy skill:

  1. Start with healthcare-phi-compliance for the concrete implementation rules.
  2. Apply HIPAA-specific decision gates:
    • Is this data PHI?
    • Is this actor a covered entity or business associate?
    • Does a vendor or model provider require a BAA before touching the data?
    • Is access limited to the minimum necessary scope?
    • Are read/write/export events auditable?
  3. Escalate to healthcare-reviewer if the task affects patient safety, clinical workflows, or regulated production architecture.

HIPAA-Specific Guardrails

  • Never place PHI in logs, analytics events, crash reports, prompts, or client-visible error strings.
  • Never expose PHI in URLs, browser storage, screenshots, or copied example payloads.
  • Require authenticated access, scoped authorization, and audit trails for PHI reads and writes.
  • Treat third-party SaaS, observability, support tooling, and LLM providers as blocked-by-default until BAA status and data boundaries are clear.
  • Follow minimum necessary access: the right user should only see the smallest PHI slice needed for the task.
  • Prefer opaque internal IDs over names, MRNs, phone numbers, addresses, or other identifiers.
