What it does
Hipaa Safeguards is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Map HIPAA Security Rule safeguards and run a risk analysis for systems handling PHI. Use when asked to become HIPAA-compliant, assess HIPAA safeguards, prepare for handling PHI/ePHI, or scope a BAA. Produces a HIPAA assessment — the administrative/physical/technical safeguards with required-vs-addressable status, a risk analysis, BAA scope, and a prioritised remediation plan.
Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/hipaa_checklist.py`).
It sits in Legal & Compliance, covering Healthcare and finance regulation. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Asked to become HIPAA-compliant
- Assess HIPAA safeguards
- Prepare for handling PHI/ePHI
Example prompts
- “/hipaa-safeguards”
Requirements
- Python 3
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python3
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.
Context cost
Hipaa Safeguards loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 99 tokens; SKILL.md has 469 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

- description
- Map HIPAA Security Rule safeguards and run a risk analysis for systems handling PHI. Use when asked to become HIPAA-compliant, assess HIPAA safeguards, prepare for handling PHI/ePHI, or scope a BAA. Produces a HIPAA assessment — the administrative/physical/technical safeguards with required-vs-addressable status, a risk analysis, BAA scope, and a prioritised remediation plan.
HIPAA Safeguards Skill
HIPAA's Security Rule is a list of safeguards for electronic protected health information (ePHI), split into administrative, physical, and technical — some required, some addressable (you must do them or document why an equivalent is reasonable). This skill maps your controls to that list, runs the risk analysis HIPAA mandates, and flags where you're exposed — so handling PHI is defensible, not hopeful.
Required Inputs
Ask for these only if they aren't already provided:
- Your role — covered entity, or business associate (a vendor handling PHI for one). Both owe Security Rule safeguards.
- The ePHI flow — where PHI is created, received, stored, transmitted, and who can access it.
- Current safeguards — what's in place for access control, encryption, audit logging, backups, training.
- Business associates — third parties touching PHI (each needs a BAA).
Output Format
HIPAA Assessment: [entity] ([covered entity / business associate])
1. ePHI inventory & flow — where PHI lives and moves; the systems in scope.
2. Safeguards — a table per category; status met / partial / gap, and required vs. addressable:
| Category | Safeguard | Req/Addr | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Technical | Encryption of ePHI at rest & in transit | Addressable | partial | TLS yes; disk encryption pending |
| Administrative | Security risk analysis | Required | gap | Not yet performed |
| Physical | Facility access controls | Required | met |
3. Risk analysis — the required (§164.308(a)(1)) assessment: threats to ePHI, likelihood × impact, and the residual risk after controls. This is the control auditors check first and the one most often missing.
4. BAA scope — which business associates need a Business Associate Agreement, and what each must guarantee.
5. Remediation — prioritised gaps (required-and-gap first), owners, dates. For addressable items not implemented, the documented justification + alternative.
Programmatic Helper
scripts/hipaa_checklist.py (stdlib only) scores safeguard coverage and surfaces unmet required
safeguards (the ones with no "addressable" escape hatch):
# safeguards.json: [{"category":"Technical","safeguard":"...","required":true,"status":"met|partial|gap"}, ...]
python3 scripts/hipaa_checklist.py safeguards.json
python3 scripts/hipaa_checklist.py safeguards.json --jsonShow full SKILL.md (183 more words)Show less
Quality Checks
- A documented security risk analysis exists (or is the top remediation item) — it's required and foundational
- Each safeguard is marked required vs. addressable, and addressable-not-done items have a written justification + alternative
- Encryption of ePHI in transit and at rest is assessed explicitly
- Every business associate has (or is flagged as needing) a BAA
- Audit logging / access review for PHI access is covered
Anti-Patterns
- Do not treat "addressable" as "optional" — you must implement it or document why an equivalent is reasonable; silence is a violation
- Do not skip the risk analysis — it's explicitly required and the most-cited gap in OCR enforcement
- Do not handle PHI through a vendor without a BAA — that alone is a breach
- Do not present this as legal certification — flag that compliance counsel / a security assessor must validate, especially the risk analysis
- Do not conflate HIPAA with SOC 2 or GDPR — overlapping controls, different legal requirements; map each separately
Based On
HIPAA Security Rule (45 CFR §164.308–312) — administrative, physical, and technical safeguards + required risk analysis.
Example Trigger Phrases
- "Assess HIPAA safeguards."
- "Prepare for handling PHI/ePHI."
- "Scope a BAA."
