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

Prior Consultation Dpa loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 106 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,143 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~106
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.9k

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.

Conducting Prior Consultation with Supervisory Authority

Overview

Article 36(1) requires the controller to consult the supervisory authority prior to processing where a DPIA under Art. 35 indicates that the processing would result in a high risk in the absence of measures taken by the controller to mitigate the risk. Prior consultation is the final safety net when a DPIA reveals risks that cannot be adequately mitigated through technical, organisational, or contractual measures. The supervisory authority has up to 8 weeks (extendable by 6 weeks) to provide written advice. Processing must not commence until the supervisory authority's response is received and addressed.

When Prior Consultation Is Required

Art. 36(1) Trigger

Prior consultation is mandatory when:

  1. A DPIA has been conducted under Art. 35
  2. The DPIA identifies that processing would result in high risk
  3. The controller cannot sufficiently mitigate the risk through available measures
  4. Residual risk remains High or Very High despite all reasonable mitigations
Residual Risk Assessment
Residual Risk LevelAction
LowNo prior consultation needed. Processing may proceed.
MediumNo prior consultation required, but DPO should document the acceptance rationale.
HighPrior consultation recommended. Processing should not proceed without SA review.
Very HighPrior consultation mandatory under Art. 36(1). Processing must not proceed.
Practical Examples Triggering Prior Consultation
  • Large-scale biometric identification in publicly accessible areas where encryption with exporter-held key is not feasible
  • AI system making automated decisions about access to essential services (credit, insurance, healthcare) where residual discrimination risk cannot be fully eliminated
  • Processing of genetic data for a novel purpose where no existing Art. 9(2) exemption clearly applies
  • Employee monitoring system where proportionality concerns remain despite all mitigations
  • International transfer to a country with Very High government access risk where the processing requires clear-text data access

Art. 36(3) Required Documentation

The controller must provide the supervisory authority with the following information:

DocumentContentArt. 36(3) Reference
DPIA reportComplete DPIA per Art. 35(7) including systematic description, necessity/proportionality, risk assessment, and mitigation measuresArt. 36(3)(a) — implicit
Controller and processor responsibilitiesClear documentation of which entity is responsible for which processing operations and security measuresArt. 36(3)(a)
Measures and safeguardsAll technical, organisational, and contractual measures implemented to protect data subjectsArt. 36(3)(b)
DPO contact detailsContact details of the Data Protection OfficerArt. 36(3)(c)
Additional information requestedAny further information the supervisory authority requests during the consultationArt. 36(3)(d)
Supplementary Documentation (Best Practice)
DocumentPurpose
Executive summary1-2 page summary of the processing, identified risks, and reasons for prior consultation
Data flow diagramVisual representation of personal data flows through the processing
Risk registerDetailed risk register with inherent and residual risk levels
Mitigation measures scheduleImplementation status and timeline for all mitigations
DPO advice letterWritten DPO advice per Art. 35(2) and whether it was followed
Legitimate interest assessmentIf processing relies on Art. 6(1)(f), the documented LIA
Art. 35(9) consultation evidenceDocumentation of data subject views sought

Consultation Process

Step 1: Preparation (Weeks 1-2)
  1. DPO confirms that prior consultation is required based on DPIA residual risk assessment.
  2. Processing owner compiles the Art. 36(3) documentation package.
  3. DPO reviews the package for completeness and accuracy.
  4. Legal counsel reviews for legal accuracy and strategic considerations.
  5. Senior management is briefed on the prior consultation and its implications (processing pause).
Step 2: Submission (Week 3)
  1. Identify the competent supervisory authority:
    • Lead SA under one-stop-shop mechanism (Art. 56) for cross-border processing
    • Local SA for purely national processing
  2. Submit the consultation package through the SA's designated channel (online portal, registered mail, or both per SA requirements).
  3. Confirm receipt and obtain a case reference number.
  4. Document the submission date — this starts the 8-week clock.
Step 3: Supervisory Authority Review Period (Weeks 3-11)

Art. 36(2) timeline:

  • Standard period: Up to 8 weeks from receipt of the complete consultation request
  • Extension: The SA may extend the period by up to 6 weeks for complex cases, with notification to the controller within the first month
  • Total maximum: 14 weeks (8 + 6)

During this period:

  1. The SA may request additional information under Art. 36(3)(d). The 8-week clock pauses until the information is provided.
  2. The DPO serves as the point of contact for SA communications.
  3. Processing must not commence during the consultation period.
  4. The controller should continue implementing mitigation measures in preparation.

Step 4: Outcome Management
SA ResponseController Action
Written advice with no concernsDocument the SA's response. Proceed with processing. Update DPIA with SA clearance.
Written advice with recommendationsImplement the SA's recommendations. Update DPIA. Proceed with processing once recommendations are addressed.
Written advice indicating GDPR infringementDo not proceed with processing as described. Review processing design to address SA concerns. Consider re-submission after modifications.
No response within the statutory periodSA silence does not constitute approval. The controller bears responsibility for demonstrating compliance. Proceed with caution, documenting the SA's non-response.
Request for more informationProvide the requested information promptly. The clock pauses.
Step 5: Post-Consultation
  1. Document the entire consultation process and outcome in the DPIA register.
  2. Update the DPIA with any SA recommendations or requirements.
  3. If processing proceeds, implement all SA-recommended measures.
  4. Schedule an accelerated DPIA review (6 months post-processing commencement).
  5. Maintain the consultation documentation for supervisory authority inspection.

National Supervisory Authority Consultation Procedures

SASubmission MethodSpecific Requirements
ICO (UK)Online consultation request formInclude DPIA, data flow diagram, DPO contact, description of why risk cannot be mitigated
CNIL (France)Online portal (teleservice.cnil.fr)DPIA in CNIL format; French language required
BfDI (Germany)Written submission to the competent state or federal DPAGerman language; DPIA must reference BDSG provisions
Garante (Italy)PEC (certified email)Italian language; include DPIA, processor agreements, security measures documentation
AEPD (Spain)Sede Electronica portalSpanish language; include DPIA and all supporting documentation
DPC IrelandOnline submission through DPC websiteEnglish language; include DPIA and all Art. 36(3) documentation

Common Prior Consultation Mistakes

  1. Consulting too early: Submitting before completing the DPIA and implementing all feasible mitigations. The SA expects to see that all reasonable measures have been taken.
  2. Consulting too late: Beginning processing before the SA responds. Processing must not start during the consultation period.
  3. Incomplete documentation: Submitting without all Art. 36(3) required documents, causing delays for information requests.
  4. No DPO involvement: Submitting without documented DPO advice per Art. 35(2).
  5. Treating SA silence as approval: SA non-response does not constitute approval or endorsement.
  6. Failing to implement SA recommendations: Proceeding with processing without addressing SA feedback.

Enforcement Context

  • Art. 36(1) non-compliance (failure to consult when required) can result in administrative fines up to EUR 10 million or 2% of annual worldwide turnover under Art. 83(4)(a).
  • Swedish DPA vs Karolinska (2019): Fine included failure to conduct DPIA and consequent failure to identify need for prior consultation.
  • Norwegian DPA vs Municipality (2020): Enforcement action for proceeding with high-risk processing without prior consultation.
