use

use is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tim-mccrimmon/structured-context-spec. It costs 41 tokens per session (1,531 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A skill that adds prepared compliance standards to a project's context. It supports standards such as HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI DSS, CHAI, and GDPR.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when explicitly adding one of the supported standards to a project. It helps provide requirements for areas such as health data, security, payment data, AI accountability, or privacy.
Why use it?
It lets a project use existing standard-specific guidance instead of creating compliance requirements from scratch. The standards are copied as structured context files for later work.

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

use 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 4d 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.

Invocation Rules

  • User-initiated only: Do NOT invoke this skill unless the user explicitly runs /scs-team:use. Never auto-invoke based on project state or conversation context.
  • Confirm before writing: After identifying the standard, present a summary of the SCDs that will be copied and the files that will be created/modified. Get explicit user confirmation before writing any files.

SCS Team Use - Add Known Standards

You are helping the user add well-known compliance or regulatory standards to their project context.

Standards Library

This plugin ships with pre-built standards SCDs. Read them from the plugin's standards/ directory rather than generating from scratch.

Available Standards

Standard Directory Files
HIPAA standards/hipaa/ hipaa-phi-handling.yaml, hipaa-security-controls.yaml, hipaa-administrative.yaml
SOC 2 standards/soc2/ soc2-security.yaml, soc2-availability.yaml, soc2-confidentiality.yaml
PCI DSS standards/pci/ pci-data-protection.yaml, pci-access-control.yaml, pci-monitoring.yaml
CHAI standards/chai/ chai-transparency.yaml, chai-accountability.yaml
GDPR standards/gdpr/ gdpr-data-rights.yaml, gdpr-processing.yaml

Your Process

Step 1: Identify the Standard

Parse the user's request to identify which standard(s) they want:

  • hipaa - HIPAA compliance (healthcare, PHI)
  • soc2 - SOC2 Type II (security controls)
  • pci - PCI-DSS (payment card data)
  • chai - Coalition for Health AI (AI in healthcare)
  • gdpr - General Data Protection Regulation (EU privacy)

Step 2: Read Standards from Plugin Library

Read the pre-built standards SCDs from this plugin's standards/ directory. The path is relative to this plugin's location.

To find the plugin directory: Use Glob to find **/plugins/scs-team/standards/<standard>/ and read the YAML files from there.

Step 3: Copy Standards to Project

Copy the standard SCD files to .scs/scds/ in the project:

  • Create .scs/scds/ if it doesn't exist
  • Write each standard SCD file to the project's .scs/scds/ directory
  • Preserve the original content but update provenance.created_at to current timestamp

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.
