What it does

Validating Pci Dss Compliance is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Validate PCI-DSS compliance for payment card data security. Use when auditing payment systems. Trigger with 'validate PCI-DSS', 'check payment security', or 'audit card data'.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 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. It works with Amazon Web Services. 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 payment systems
  • With validate PCI-DSS
  • Check payment security
  • Audit card data

Example prompts

  • “validate PCI-DSS”
  • “check payment security”
  • “audit card data”
  • “/validating-pci-dss-compliance”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • 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

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

  1. Analyze the Target: The skill identifies the codebase, configuration files, or infrastructure resources to be evaluated.
  2. Run PCI DSS Validation: The pci-dss-validator plugin scans the target for potential PCI DSS violations.
  3. Generate Report: The skill compiles a report detailing any identified vulnerabilities or non-compliant configurations, along with…

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 2 files in scripts/ (Python), 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

Validating Pci Dss Compliance loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 507 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~51
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.1k

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.

Pci Dss Validator

Validate payment systems against PCI DSS requirements, checking cardholder data storage, network segmentation, encryption standards, access controls, and vulnerability management processes.

Overview

This skill streamlines PCI DSS compliance checks by automatically analyzing code and configurations. It flags potential issues, allowing for proactive remediation and improved security posture. It is particularly useful for developers, security engineers, and compliance officers.

How It Works

  1. Analyze the Target: The skill identifies the codebase, configuration files, or infrastructure resources to be evaluated.
  2. Run PCI DSS Validation: The pci-dss-validator plugin scans the target for potential PCI DSS violations.
  3. Generate Report: The skill compiles a report detailing any identified vulnerabilities or non-compliant configurations, along with remediation recommendations.

When to Use This Skill

This skill activates when you need to:

  • Evaluate a new application or system for PCI DSS compliance before deployment.
  • Periodically assess existing systems to maintain PCI DSS compliance.
  • Investigate potential security vulnerabilities related to PCI DSS.

Examples

Example 1: Validating a Web Application

User request: "Validate PCI compliance for my e-commerce web application."

The skill will:

  1. Identify the source code repository for the web application.
  2. Run the pci-dss-validator plugin against the codebase.
  3. Generate a report highlighting any PCI DSS violations found in the code.
Example 2: Checking Infrastructure Configuration

User request: "Check PCI DSS compliance of my AWS infrastructure."

The skill will:

  1. Access the AWS configuration files (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation).
  2. Execute the pci-dss-validator plugin against the infrastructure configuration.
  3. Produce a report outlining any non-compliant configurations in the AWS environment.

Best Practices

  • Scope Definition: Clearly define the scope of the PCI DSS assessment to ensure accurate and relevant results.
  • Regular Assessments: Conduct regular PCI DSS assessments to maintain continuous compliance.
  • Remediation Tracking: Track and document all remediation efforts to demonstrate ongoing commitment to security.

Integration

This skill can be integrated with other security tools and plugins to provide a comprehensive security assessment. For example, it can be used in conjunction with static analysis tools to identify vulnerabilities in code before it is deployed. It can also be integrated with infrastructure-as-code tools to ensure that infrastructure is compliant with PCI DSS from the start.

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
