What it does

Hipaa Phi Inventory is an agent skill from mukul975/Privacy-Data-Protection-Skills. Conducts comprehensive inventory of protected health information across the enterprise per HIPAA Security Rule requirements at 45 CFR §164.308(a)(1)(ii)(A) and §164.310(d). Covers identification of all ePHI repositories, data flow mapping, classification of PHI by sensitivity, and integration with risk analysis. Keywords: PHI inventory, ePHI, data mapping, information asset, data flow, HIPAA risk analysis, designated record set.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k 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. 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

Example prompts

  • “Use the hipaa-phi-inventory skill to conduct comprehensive inventory of protected health information across the enterprise per HIPAA Security Rule…”
  • “/hipaa-phi-inventory”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. All electronic media and systems that create, receive, maintain, or transmit ePHI
  2. All locations where ePHI is stored (on-premises, cloud, mobile, removable media)
  3. All network paths over which ePHI is transmitted
  4. All workforce members and roles with access to ePHI
  5. All business associates that create, receive, maintain, or transmit ePHI

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 Phi Inventory loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 113 tokens; SKILL.md has 749 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~113
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.7k

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 PHI Inventory — ePHI Asset Identification and Data Flow Mapping

Overview

The HIPAA Security Rule at 45 CFR §164.308(a)(1)(ii)(A) requires covered entities and business associates to conduct an accurate and thorough assessment of potential risks and vulnerabilities to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of ePHI held by the entity. This risk analysis is impossible without first knowing where ePHI resides, how it flows, and who has access. The PHI inventory is the foundational step of HIPAA compliance, supporting risk analysis (§164.308(a)(1)), access management (§164.312(a)), device and media controls (§164.310(d)), and business associate management (§164.502(e)).

Regulatory Framework

Security Rule — Risk Analysis Foundation
  • §164.308(a)(1)(ii)(A): Conduct an accurate and thorough assessment of the potential risks and vulnerabilities to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of ePHI held by the covered entity or business associate
  • §164.310(d)(1): Implement policies and procedures that govern the receipt and removal of hardware and electronic media that contain ePHI into and out of a facility, and the movement of these items within the facility
  • §164.312(a)(1): Implement technical policies and procedures for electronic information systems that maintain ePHI to allow access only to persons or software programs that have been granted access rights
OCR Risk Analysis Guidance

OCR guidance identifies the first step of risk analysis as: "Identify where ePHI is created, received, maintained, or transmitted." This requires a comprehensive inventory covering:

  1. All electronic media and systems that create, receive, maintain, or transmit ePHI
  2. All locations where ePHI is stored (on-premises, cloud, mobile, removable media)
  3. All network paths over which ePHI is transmitted
  4. All workforce members and roles with access to ePHI
  5. All business associates that create, receive, maintain, or transmit ePHI
PHI Identifiers — 45 CFR §160.103

PHI includes individually identifiable health information transmitted or maintained in any form that relates to past, present, or future physical or mental health condition, provision of healthcare, or payment for healthcare. The 18 HIPAA identifiers are:

#IdentifierExamples
1NamesFull name, maiden name
2Geographic data smaller than stateStreet address, city, ZIP code

4Phone numbersHome, mobile, work
