ping-quickstart

An orientation and routing skill for Ping Identity, a set of tools for managing login, access, and user identities. It helps identify which Ping product and follow-up skill match your situation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose a Ping platform, compare cloud and on-premises options, plan a migration, or find the right next step for a user-management task.
Why use it?
It removes the guesswork when you are new to Ping, have inherited an existing setup, or are choosing between Ping products. It provides direction rather than configuration or product-specific implementation.

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

ping-quickstart 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 yesterday.

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 — 121 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

ping-quickstart

Front door for all Ping Identity work. Detects the user's platform, identifies what they are trying to accomplish, and routes them to the correct skill.

What this skill does for you: Orientation and routing only — it determines your platform and goal and hands off to the skill that does the work. It does not itself generate configuration or walk through product docs.

Invocation

Invoke this skill explicitly with /ping-quickstart or by saying "use ping-quickstart to...".

When to use this skill

Trigger on ANY of the following — including questions, evaluation discussions, and advisory requests:

  • "Where do I start with Ping Identity?" / "I'm new to Ping — what should I set up first?"
  • "Which Ping product do I need?"
  • "Help me choose between PingOne, PingOne Advanced Identity Cloud, and PingFederate"
  • "I inherited a Ping deployment and don't know where to begin"
  • "We're evaluating Ping Identity — what should we be asking?"
  • "Pros and cons of PingOne vs PingOne Advanced Identity Cloud vs PingFederate; cloud or on-prem?"
  • "Advise me on which Ping platform fits our use case"
  • "We're migrating from ForgeRock to Ping — what does the migration path look like?"
  • "Where do we start with adding [feature] to our app?" (any feature, when the platform is unspecified)
  • "We want to add identity verification / KYC — where do we start?"
  • "What's the recommended starting point for Ping employee identity?"
  • "What license do I need for DaVinci / Protect / Verify?"
  • "Test this end to end / validate my Ping setup / how do I prove the path works before going live"

Catch-all rule: Trigger this skill whenever the user's platform or starting point is unknown or unclear, when they use "where do we start", "what should we set up first", "what's the recommended starting point", or "not sure whether to use [product A] or [product B]" framing. Trigger on migration intents (ForgeRock → Ping, Okta → Ping, Auth0 → Ping). Trigger when platform is not yet specified and the user is in evaluation or orientation mode.

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.
