What it does

Hipaa Employee Training is an agent skill from mukul975/Privacy-Data-Protection-Skills. Implements HIPAA workforce training requirements under 45 CFR §164.530(b) (Privacy Rule) and 45 CFR §164.308(a)(5) (Security Rule). Covers initial onboarding training, periodic refresher cadence, role-based content differentiation, documentation of training completion, and sanction policy integration. Keywords: HIPAA training, workforce training, security awareness, privacy training, §164.530(b), §164.308(a)(5).

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k 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/template.md`, `references/standards.md` and `references/workflows.md`).

It sits in Legal & Compliance, covering Healthcare and finance regulation, Training and onboarding materials and Authorization and RBAC. The repository describes itself as: 282+ structured privacy & data protection skills for AI agents. GDPR, CCPA, EU AI Act, HIPAA, LGPD, PIPL, DPDP Act. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Healthcare and finance regulation
  • Tasks that involve Training and onboarding materials
  • Tasks that involve Authorization and RBAC

Example prompts

  • “Use the hipaa-employee-training skill to implement HIPAA workforce training requirements under 45 CFR §164.530(b) (Privacy Rule) and 45 CFR…”
  • “/hipaa-employee-training”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Training materials and content used
  2. Date of each training session
  3. Attendance records (name, role, date, method of delivery)
  4. Assessment scores or acknowledgment of completion
  5. Evidence of policy receipt and acknowledgment
  6. Corrective training records following incidents

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9b2ef9e. 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.

    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 Employee Training loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 110 tokens; SKILL.md has 805 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~110
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.5k

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 Employee Training — 45 CFR §164.530(b) and §164.308(a)(5)

Overview

The HIPAA Privacy Rule at 45 CFR §164.530(b)(1) requires covered entities to train all members of the workforce on the policies and procedures with respect to PHI as necessary and appropriate for the members of the workforce to carry out their functions. The Security Rule at 45 CFR §164.308(a)(5)(i) requires implementation of a security awareness and training program for all members of the workforce including management. Workforce includes employees, volunteers, trainees, and persons whose conduct is under the direct control of the entity whether or not paid by the entity (45 CFR §160.103).

Regulatory Framework

Privacy Rule Training — §164.530(b)
  • §164.530(b)(1): A covered entity must train all members of its workforce on policies and procedures with respect to PHI as necessary and appropriate for the workforce members to carry out their functions within the covered entity
  • §164.530(b)(2)(i): Training must be provided to each new member of the workforce within a reasonable period of time after joining
  • §164.530(b)(2)(ii): Training must be provided to each member of the workforce whose functions are affected by a material change in policies or procedures within a reasonable period of time after the change
Security Rule Training — §164.308(a)(5)
  • §164.308(a)(5)(i): Implement a security awareness and training program for all members of the workforce (including management) — this is a required standard
  • §164.308(a)(5)(ii)(A): Security reminders (addressable)
  • §164.308(a)(5)(ii)(B): Protection from malicious software (addressable)
  • §164.308(a)(5)(ii)(C): Log-in monitoring (addressable)
  • §164.308(a)(5)(ii)(D): Password management (addressable)
Sanction Policy — §164.530(e) and §164.308(a)(1)(ii)(C)

Training is directly linked to the sanction policy: workforce members who violate HIPAA policies may be subject to sanctions, but only if they have been trained on the applicable requirements.

Training Program Structure

Tier 1: General Workforce Training (All Staff)

All workforce members regardless of role must receive training on:

Show full SKILL.md (307 more words)Show less
Tier 3: Specialized Training

For personnel with specific compliance responsibilities:

  • Privacy Officer: Annual regulatory update, enforcement trends, OCR audit methodology
  • Security Officer: NIST Cybersecurity Framework updates, threat landscape, vulnerability management
  • Incident response team: Breach determination, risk assessment methodology, notification procedures, forensic preservation
  • BAA managers: Business associate monitoring, subcontractor requirements, termination procedures

Training Cadence

EventTraining RequirementTimeline
New hireGeneral + role-based trainingWithin 30 days of hire (before PHI access)
Role changeRole-based training for new roleWithin 30 days of role change
Policy changeMaterial change trainingWithin reasonable period after change
Annual refresherGeneral awareness + emerging threatsAnnually
Incident-triggeredTargeted retraining on violation areaWithin 30 days of incident
Regulatory updateUpdated requirements trainingWithin 60 days of effective date

Documentation Requirements — §164.530(j)

Training documentation must be retained for 6 years from creation date or last effective date and must include:

  1. Training materials and content used
  2. Date of each training session
  3. Attendance records (name, role, date, method of delivery)
  4. Assessment scores or acknowledgment of completion
  5. Evidence of policy receipt and acknowledgment
  6. Corrective training records following incidents

Enforcement Examples

  • Hospice of North Idaho (2013): $50,000 settlement — OCR found no evidence of HIPAA Security Rule training for workforce members prior to the breach of an unencrypted laptop
  • Columbia University/New York Presbyterian (2014): $4.8 million combined — inadequate training contributed to physician deactivating a personal server containing ePHI of 6,800 patients
  • Anthem Inc. (2018): $16 million — largest HIPAA settlement; OCR noted failure to conduct adequate security awareness and training as a contributing factor

Integration Points

  • hipaa-privacy-rule: Training content must align with the organization's Privacy Rule policies
  • hipaa-security-rule: Security awareness training is a required Security Rule standard
  • hipaa-breach-notification: Training must cover breach identification and internal reporting
  • hipaa-risk-analysis: Risk analysis findings should inform training priorities
  • hipaa-minimum-necessary: Minimum necessary standard must be included in general training
