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

New Jersey Dpa loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 110 tokens; SKILL.md has 786 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
~1.6k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3k

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.

New Jersey Data Privacy Act (NJDPA)

Overview

The New Jersey Data Privacy Act (S332/A1971), signed into law on January 16, 2024, and effective January 15, 2025, establishes comprehensive consumer data privacy rights for New Jersey residents. The NJDPA applies to controllers that conduct business in New Jersey or produce products or services targeted to New Jersey residents and that during a calendar year either (a) control or process the personal data of at least 100,000 consumers (excluding data processed solely for completing a payment transaction), or (b) control or process the personal data of at least 25,000 consumers and derive revenue or receive a discount on the price of goods or services from the sale of personal data.

Key Provisions

Consumer Rights (Section 6)
RightDescriptionResponse Period
Right to accessConfirm processing and obtain a copy of personal data45 days (extendable by 45)
Right to correctionCorrect inaccurate personal data45 days
Right to deletionDelete personal data provided by or obtained about the consumer45 days
Right to data portabilityObtain personal data in a portable, readily usable format45 days
Right to opt out of saleOpt out of the sale of personal data15 business days
Right to opt out of targeted advertisingOpt out of processing for targeted advertising purposes15 business days
Right to opt out of profilingOpt out of profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects15 business days
Right to non-discriminationNot be discriminated against for exercising rightsOngoing
Sensitive Data (Section 2)

The NJDPA defines sensitive data broadly, including:

  • Racial or ethnic origin
  • Religious beliefs
  • Mental or physical health condition, treatment, or diagnosis
  • Financial information (account number, credit/debit card number with required security code)
  • Sex life or sexual orientation
  • Citizenship or immigration status
  • Status as transgender or non-binary
  • Genetic or biometric data processed to identify an individual
  • Personal data of a known child under 13
  • Precise geolocation data

Consent requirement: Controllers must obtain consumer consent before processing sensitive data. The inclusion of financial information and immigration status as sensitive data categories distinguishes the NJDPA from many other state privacy laws.

Universal Opt-Out Mechanism (Section 8)

Controllers must recognize and comply with universal opt-out mechanisms (such as the Global Privacy Control) by July 15, 2025 (six months after the law's effective date). This applies to opt-out of sale and targeted advertising.

Controller Obligations (Section 9)
  1. Data minimisation: Limit collection to what is adequate, relevant, and reasonably necessary for the disclosed processing purpose.
  2. Purpose limitation: Do not process personal data for purposes not reasonably necessary to or compatible with the disclosed purposes without consent.
  3. Security: Establish, implement, and maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical data security practices.
  4. Non-discrimination: Do not process personal data in violation of state or federal anti-discrimination laws.
  5. Privacy notice: Provide a clear, accessible, and meaningful privacy notice disclosing categories of personal data processed, purposes, consumer rights, categories of third parties with whom data is shared, and categories of data shared.
  6. DPIA requirement: Conduct and document a data protection assessment for processing activities that present a heightened risk of harm (targeted advertising, sale of personal data, profiling, processing of sensitive data, processing that presents a heightened risk of harm to consumers).

Cure Period (Section 14)

The NJDPA provides a 30-day right to cure period before the AG may bring an enforcement action. This cure period sunsets 18 months after the effective date (July 15, 2026), after which the AG has full discretion on enforcement without providing a cure opportunity.

Enforcement (Section 13)
  • Exclusive enforcement by the New Jersey Attorney General and Division of Consumer Affairs.
  • No private right of action.
  • Violations treated as unlawful practices under the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act.
  • Civil penalties up to $10,000 per initial violation and $20,000 for subsequent violations.

Enforcement Precedents and Regulatory Guidance

Since the NJDPA became effective in January 2025, the New Jersey AG has signaled active enforcement priorities including:

  • Targeting data brokers that sell personal data without honouring opt-out requests.
  • Focusing on companies processing sensitive data (particularly health and financial data) without proper consent.
  • Coordination with other state AGs through the National Association of Attorneys General (NAAG) privacy working group.
