What it does

Nist Pf Identify is an agent skill from mukul975/Privacy-Data-Protection-Skills. Implement the NIST Privacy Framework IDENTIFY function including ID.BE business environment, ID.DA data actions, ID.IM improvement, and ID.RA risk assessment subcategories. Provides control mapping, gap analysis templates, and implementation workflows for privacy risk identification.

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 Privacy and GDPR. 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 Privacy and GDPR

Example prompts

  • “/nist-pf-identify”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Inventory and Discovery (Weeks 1-4)
  2. Data Action Analysis (Weeks 5-8)
  3. Risk Assessment (Weeks 9-12)
  4. Continuous Improvement (Ongoing)

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

Nist Pf Identify loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 818 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~75
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
~3.4k

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.

NIST Privacy Framework — IDENTIFY Function

Overview

The IDENTIFY function in the NIST Privacy Framework (Version 1.0, January 2020) enables organizations to develop organizational understanding of privacy risk arising from data processing. This skill covers all four subcategories: Business Environment (ID.BE), Data Actions (ID.DA), Improvement (ID.IM), and Risk Assessment (ID.RA).

IDENTIFY Function Subcategories

ID.BE — Business Environment

Understanding the organization's mission, objectives, stakeholders, and activities to prioritize privacy risk management decisions.

SubcategoryDescriptionImplementation Guidance
ID.BE-P1The organization's role(s) in the data processing ecosystem are identified and communicatedDocument whether the organization acts as data controller, processor, or both. Map all data flows identifying organizational role at each stage.
ID.BE-P2Priorities for organizational mission, objectives, and activities are established and communicatedAlign privacy objectives with business strategy. Ensure executive leadership endorses privacy as a business priority.
ID.BE-P3Systems/products/services that process data are identified and prioritizedMaintain an inventory of all systems processing personal data. Classify by risk tier based on data sensitivity and volume.
ID.DA — Data Actions

Understanding the data actions the organization performs and associated privacy risks.

SubcategoryDescriptionImplementation Guidance
ID.DA-P1A data processing ecosystem inventory is created and maintainedCatalog all data processing activities including collection points, storage locations, sharing partners, and retention periods.
ID.DA-P2Owners of data actions are identifiedAssign clear ownership for each data processing activity. Document accountability chains from operational to executive level.
ID.DA-P3Problematic data actions are identified and prioritized for managementUse the NIST problematic data actions catalog to assess risk. Score based on likelihood and impact to individuals.
ID.IM — Improvement

Continuous improvement of privacy risk management.

SubcategoryDescriptionImplementation Guidance
ID.IM-P1A process for continuous improvement of the privacy risk assessment approach is establishedSchedule quarterly reviews of risk methodology. Incorporate lessons from incidents and regulatory developments.
ID.IM-P2Privacy risk assessment findings are incorporated into improvement plansTrack remediation actions in a centralized register. Assign deadlines and owners for each improvement item.
ID.RA — Risk Assessment

Understanding and evaluating privacy risks.

SubcategoryDescriptionImplementation Guidance
ID.RA-P1Data actions and their expected problematic data actions are identifiedMap each data action to potential problematic outcomes using NIST's catalog of problematic data actions.
ID.RA-P2Organizational systems, products, and services are monitored for problematic data actionsDeploy continuous monitoring for unauthorized access, unexpected data flows, and policy violations.
ID.RA-P3Risk responses are identified and prioritizedDefine response strategies: mitigate, transfer, avoid, or accept. Document rationale for each risk response decision.

Implementation Workflow

Phase 1: Inventory and Discovery (Weeks 1-4)
  1. Stakeholder Identification: Identify all internal and external stakeholders involved in data processing
  2. System Inventory: Catalog all systems, applications, and services that process personal data
  3. Data Flow Mapping: Document how data moves through the organization from collection to deletion
  4. Role Classification: Determine the organization's role (controller/processor) for each data processing activity
Show full SKILL.md (351 more words)Show less
Phase 2: Data Action Analysis (Weeks 5-8)
  1. Data Action Catalog: Document all data actions (collection, retention, logging, generation, disclosure, transfer)
  2. Ownership Assignment: Assign data stewards for each data action category
  3. Problematic Data Action Screening: Evaluate each data action against NIST's problematic data actions list
  4. Impact Assessment: Score each problematic data action on likelihood and severity scales (1-5)
Phase 3: Risk Assessment (Weeks 9-12)
  1. Risk Scoring: Calculate risk scores as Likelihood x Impact for each identified problematic data action
  2. Risk Prioritization: Rank risks and identify those exceeding organizational risk tolerance
  3. Response Planning: Select and document risk response strategies for each high-priority risk
  4. Control Mapping: Map existing and planned controls to identified risks
Phase 4: Continuous Improvement (Ongoing)
  1. Quarterly Reviews: Reassess risk landscape and update risk register
  2. Incident Integration: Incorporate findings from privacy incidents into risk assessments
  3. Regulatory Monitoring: Track changes in applicable privacy regulations
  4. Metrics Tracking: Monitor key risk indicators and report to governance bodies
