ai-usage-policy

ai-usage-policy is a skill for Claude Code from sananthanarayan/skilldrop. It costs 120 tokens per session (1,383 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for writing an organisation’s rules for acceptable AI use. It covers what kinds of data employees may enter, which uses are allowed, what must be checked by a person, which tools are approved, and who owns each rule.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to draft an AI-use policy with data-sensitivity tiers, permitted and prohibited behaviours, human-review requirements, an approved-tool list, exceptions, and responsible owners.
Why use it?
It gives employees practical alternatives instead of only banning risky behaviour. Clear data levels and review rules make it easier to use AI consistently without exposing sensitive information.

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

ai-usage-policy 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 68 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

ai-usage-policy

Write the policy people will actually follow: what may go in, what must be checked before it goes out, and who to ask when the rule doesn't fit. The audience is every employee, not the security team — so it reads as rules for a job, not controls for an auditor.

A policy that prohibits without offering a permitted path doesn't reduce risk; it moves the same work onto personal accounts where nobody can see it. Every prohibition here carries an alternative.

How to respond

  1. Establish scope and the regulatory floor. Which population, which tools, and any regime already binding (sector rules, customer contracts, an existing data-classification scheme). If the organisation already classifies data, reuse those tier names rather than inventing a parallel scheme — two classification systems means neither is followed. Cap clarifying questions at 2.

  2. Define three data tiers and what may enter a tool at each. Three, because five is not memorable and one is not a policy:

    Tier Examples Rule
    Open public docs, published marketing, open-source code any approved tool
    Internal internal docs, non-personal telemetry, private repo code approved tools with data-retention off / enterprise terms
    Restricted personal data, credentials, customer content under contract, regulated records never pasted; only via a named reviewed integration, if at all

    Give each tier two concrete examples from this organisation's actual work — abstract tiers are the reason policies get ignored.

  3. State permitted and prohibited uses as behaviours. ✅ "Drafting a first version of a customer email, then editing before sending." ❌ "Inappropriate use." Every prohibition names the permitted alternative: "Do not paste customer records to summarise them — use the approved integration, which does the same thing without the data leaving."

  4. Build the human-review matrix on consequence, not on technology. What must a human check before an AI-assisted output is acted on? Key it to blast radius: reaches a customer · commits money or a legal position · changes production · informs a personnel decision. Each row says who reviews and what "reviewed" means. Low-consequence internal drafting needs no gate — say so, or the policy loses credibility everywhere else.

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.
