purview-general is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from vinayaklatthe/microsoft-security-skills. It costs 139 tokens per session (2,154 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An overview and guide to Microsoft Purview, Microsoft's suite for data security, data governance, risk, and compliance. It helps choose the right Purview capability and understand the central management portal, roles, and licensing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to map goals such as finding sensitive data, preventing data leaks, managing retention, or handling legal investigations to the appropriate Purview solution.
Why use it?
It gives teams a starting point when they do not yet know which Purview product fits their problem. It prevents them from using a detailed tool for the wrong goal.

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

purview-general 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 8d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 138 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Microsoft Purview (Overview)

Microsoft Purview is a unified suite for data security, data governance, and risk & compliance, managed from the Microsoft Purview portal. This skill is the router: it helps decide which Purview solution (and which deeper skill in this repo) addresses a goal, in what order, and what to verify before building anything.

When to use

Use this skill first when the user is unsure which Purview capability fits, is starting a Purview programme from scratch, is evaluating licensing, or asks "where do I begin". Once the route is clear, hand off to the specific skill (DLP, classification, eDiscovery, etc.).

Do not use this skill when the user already knows the solution they need - go straight to that skill (e.g. purview-dlp-policy, purview-ediscovery).

Map the goal to a solution

Pick the row that matches the question, then load the named skill.

If the goal is... Primary solution Deeper skill
Find and tag sensitive data Information Protection + Data Classification (SITs, trainable classifiers, EDM) purview-data-classification
Stop sensitive data leaving M365, endpoints, or browsers Data Loss Prevention purview-dlp-policy, purview-advanced-dlp
Retain or delete content for legal / regulatory reasons Data Lifecycle Management, Records Management purview-data-lifecycle
Catalogue and curate enterprise data estate (lakehouses, DBs, SaaS) Unified Catalog + Data Map purview-data-catalog, purview-data-map
Detect insider data theft, sabotage, or policy violations Insider Risk Management insider-risk-baseline
Detect harassment, regulated comms, or info leakage in messaging Communication Compliance purview-communication-compliance
Run legal hold, collection, review for litigation/HR eDiscovery (Premium for advanced) purview-ediscovery
Tenant-wide audit trail of user/admin activity Purview Audit (Standard or Premium) purview-audit

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.
