compliance

compliance is a skill for Claude Code from whawkinsiv/solo-founder-skills. It costs 102 tokens per session (2,337 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for understanding software obligations in regulated fields such as healthcare, finance, and education. It explains how rules including HIPAA, GDPR, PCI, FERPA, and SOC 2 affect technical decisions, without replacing legal advice.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to translate compliance requirements into software decisions for regulated products, and to identify when advice from a compliance specialist is needed.
Why use it?
It helps identify how data should be accessed, stored, protected, and handled when something goes wrong before building or releasing the software.

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

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 12d 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.

Industry Compliance

If you're building for healthcare, finance, education, or any regulated industry, there are rules about how you handle data. You probably already know the regulations from your professional life — but you don't know what they mean for software. This skill translates compliance requirements into concrete technical decisions.

This skill is for understanding what regulations mean for your tech stack. For implementing security controls (auth, encryption, rate limiting), use secure. For writing legal documents (ToS, Privacy Policy), use legal. For payment processing and PCI, use payments.

Disclaimer: This skill covers common compliance patterns. It is not legal advice. Consult a compliance specialist for your specific situation, especially before handling sensitive data in production.

Core Principles

  • Compliance is not optional in regulated industries. Getting it wrong can kill your business.
  • Most compliance requirements boil down to: who can see data, how is it stored, and what happens when something goes wrong.
  • The right tech stack choices handle 80% of compliance for you. Don't reinvent the wheel.
  • Compliance is cheaper to build in from the start than to retrofit later.
  • You don't need SOC 2 certification at $0 MRR. But you do need to make decisions now that don't block certification later.

Don't Do Yet

  • Don't pay for a SOC 2 audit ($15K-50K) until enterprise customers require it. Just follow the practices.
  • Don't hire a compliance officer. A one-time consultation ($1K-5K) is enough until $10K+ MRR.
  • Don't build compliance features nobody asked for. Cookie consent is required. A full data governance dashboard is not — yet.
  • Don't use compliance as a reason to delay launch. Make compliant tech choices, launch, then iterate. Perfection is the enemy of shipped.

Find Your Requirements

Tell AI:

I'm building a SaaS product for [industry/profession].
My product handles this type of data: [describe the data — patient records, student info, financial transactions, etc.]
My users are in: [countries/regions]

What compliance requirements apply to me?
For each one, tell me:
1. What it is (one sentence)
2. Whether I need it before launch or can add it later
3. What it means for my tech stack (specific technical requirements)
4. Whether I need a certification/audit or just need to follow the rules
