What it does

Checking Hipaa Compliance is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Check HIPAA compliance for healthcare data security requirements. Use when auditing healthcare applications. Trigger with 'check HIPAA compliance', 'validate health data security', or 'audit PHI protection'.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/README.md`, `references/README.md` and `scripts/README.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code

It sits in Legal & Compliance, covering Healthcare and finance regulation. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Auditing healthcare applications
  • With check HIPAA compliance
  • Validate health data security
  • Audit PHI protection

Example prompts

  • “check HIPAA compliance”
  • “validate health data security”
  • “audit PHI protection”
  • “/checking-hipaa-compliance”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Glob, Bash(security:*), Bash(scan:*), Bash(audit:*)

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Analyze Request: Claude identifies the user's intent to check for HIPAA compliance.
  2. Initiate Plugin: Claude activates the hipaa-compliance-checker plugin.
  3. Execute Checks: The plugin scans the specified codebase, configuration files, or documentation for potential HIPAA violations.
  4. Generate Report: The plugin generates a detailed report outlining identified issues and their potential impact on HIPAA compliance.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Grep
    • Glob
    • Bash(security:*)
    • Bash(scan:*)
    • Bash(audit:*)

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/, which the agent can run.

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Checking Hipaa Compliance loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 517 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~58
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.2k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Hipaa Compliance Checker

Audit healthcare applications for HIPAA compliance, checking PHI data handling, access controls, encryption requirements, audit logging, and Business Associate Agreement adherence.

Overview

This skill automates the process of identifying potential HIPAA compliance issues within a software project. By using the hipaa-compliance-checker plugin, it helps developers and security professionals proactively address vulnerabilities and ensure adherence to HIPAA guidelines.

How It Works

  1. Analyze Request: Claude identifies the user's intent to check for HIPAA compliance.
  2. Initiate Plugin: Claude activates the hipaa-compliance-checker plugin.
  3. Execute Checks: The plugin scans the specified codebase, configuration files, or documentation for potential HIPAA violations.
  4. Generate Report: The plugin generates a detailed report outlining identified issues and their potential impact on HIPAA compliance.

When to Use This Skill

This skill activates when you need to:

  • Evaluate a codebase for HIPAA compliance before deployment.
  • Identify potential HIPAA violations in existing systems.
  • Assess the HIPAA readiness of infrastructure configurations.
  • Verify that documentation adheres to HIPAA guidelines.

Examples

Example 1: Checking a codebase for HIPAA compliance

User request: "Check HIPAA compliance of the patient data API codebase."

The skill will:

  1. Activate the hipaa-compliance-checker plugin.
  2. Scan the specified API codebase for potential HIPAA violations.
  3. Generate a report listing any identified issues, such as insecure data storage or insufficient access controls.
Example 2: Assessing infrastructure configuration for HIPAA readiness

User request: "Assess the HIPAA readiness of our AWS infrastructure configuration."

The skill will:

  1. Activate the hipaa-compliance-checker plugin.
  2. Analyze the AWS infrastructure configuration files for potential HIPAA violations, such as misconfigured security groups or inadequate encryption.
  3. Generate a report outlining any identified issues and recommendations for remediation.

Best Practices

  • Specify Target: Always clearly specify the target (e.g., codebase, configuration file, documentation) for the HIPAA compliance check.
  • Review Reports: Carefully review the generated reports to understand the identified issues and their potential impact.
  • Prioritize Remediation: Prioritize the remediation of identified issues based on their severity and potential impact on HIPAA compliance.

Integration

This skill can be integrated with other security and compliance tools to provide a comprehensive view of a system's security posture. The generated reports can be used as input for vulnerability management systems and security information and event management (SIEM) platforms.

Prerequisites

  • Access to codebase and configuration files in ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/
  • Security scanning tools installed as needed
  • Understanding of security standards and best practices
  • Permissions for security analysis operations

Instructions

  1. Identify security scan scope and targets
  2. Configure scanning parameters and thresholds
  3. Execute security analysis systematically
  4. Analyze findings for vulnerabilities and compliance gaps
  5. Prioritize issues by severity and impact
  6. Generate detailed security report with remediation steps

Output

  • Security scan results with vulnerability details
  • Compliance status reports by standard
  • Prioritized list of security issues by severity
  • Remediation recommendations with code examples
  • Executive summary for stakeholders

Error Handling

If security scanning fails:

  • Verify tool installation and configuration
  • Check file and directory permissions
  • Validate scan target paths
  • Review tool-specific error messages
  • Ensure network access for dependency checks

Resources

  • Security standard documentation (OWASP, CWE, CVE)
  • Compliance framework guidelines (GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS)
  • Security scanning tool documentation
  • Vulnerability remediation best practices
