At a glance

  • Requirement 11.4 readiness

What it does

Assess Pci Dss Readiness is an agent skill from cyberful/cyberful. Coordinate a PCI DSS penetration-testing and CDE-scoping readiness assessment across methodology, scope, segmentation, execution evidence, remediation, and retesting. Use for Requirement 11.4 readiness; do not use it as a full PCI DSS compliance assessment or attestation.

Its SKILL.md is about 900 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files and assets (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `assets/pci-readiness-register.schema.json` and `assets/pci-readiness-register.template.json`).

It sits in Legal & Compliance, covering Healthcare and finance regulation and Penetration testing. The repository describes itself as: Cyberful is an open-source AI Red Team for discovering, exploiting, verifying, and remediating vulnerabilities. The licence is AGPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Requirement 11.4 readiness
  • Do not use it as a full PCI DSS compliance assessment

Example prompts

  • “/assess-pci-dss-readiness”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ec598a6. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • docs-prv.pcisecuritystandards.org
    • pcisecuritystandards.org

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Assess Pci Dss Readiness loads about 895 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 303 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~74
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~895
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Assess PCI DSS Readiness

Coordinate readiness for PCI DSS CDE scoping and penetration-testing obligations. This package is a router and integration layer for Requirements 11.4 and 12.5.2; it is not a complete assessment of all PCI DSS requirements, a Report on Compliance, a Self-Assessment Questionnaire, an Attestation of Compliance, or a certification decision.

Establish the assessment boundary

Read references/readiness-routing.md. Confirm the PCI DSS version, entity type, selected validation process, assessor or compliance-accepting entity, assessment period, services, third parties, and whether segmentation reduces scope. If the request requires a full PCI DSS assessment, retain the broader requirement inventory as an external dependency and restrict this skill to its supported scope.

Route to specialist evidence

  • Use trace-cardholder-data-environment to reconstruct payment flows, CDE components, connected and security-impacting systems, third-party paths, critical systems, and scope gaps.
  • Use plan-pci-dss-penetration-test to define the methodology, internal and external coverage, application and network layers, tester qualifications and independence, significant-change triggers, rules of engagement, retention, remediation, and retest criteria.
  • Use test-cardholder-data-segmentation when any segmentation or isolation control supports a scope-reduction claim.
  • Use audit-pci-dss-penetration-test-evidence to normalize the resulting evidence and identify unsupported or missing requirements without deciding compliance.

Do not repeat specialist procedures in the readiness layer. Preserve their artifact identities and reconcile conflicts, applicability, ownership, and dates.

Maintain the readiness register

Populate assets/pci-readiness-register.template.json under assets/pci-readiness-register.schema.json. Record each applicable requirement, evidence, status, owner, next action, and dependency. Use not-applicable only with an entity- and environment-specific rationale; a missing artifact is a gap, not non-applicability.

Separate:

  • readiness of the entity's methodology and evidence;
  • technical results from authorized testing;
  • assessor validation and formal reporting;
  • residual work outside Requirements 11.4 and 12.5.2.

Conclude with supported readiness, open gaps, blocked evidence, and the exact next discriminator. Never state that the entity is PCI DSS compliant.
