Guides compliance with Thailand's Personal Data Protection Act B.E.

What it does

Thailand Pdpa is an agent skill from mukul975/Privacy-Data-Protection-Skills. Guides compliance with Thailand's Personal Data Protection Act B.E. 2562 (2019). Covers consent framework, DPO requirements, PDPC enforcement, lawful bases for processing, cross-border transfer mechanisms, and data subject rights under the PDPA. Keywords: Thailand PDPA, PDPC, consent, DPO, cross-border transfers, data subject rights.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.5k 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

  • “Use the thailand-pdpa skill to guide compliance with Thailand's Personal Data Protection Act B.E”
  • “/thailand-pdpa”

Requirements

  • Python 3

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

Thailand Pdpa loads about 2.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 87 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,138 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~87
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.5k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.2k

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.

Thailand PDPA Compliance

Overview

Thailand's Personal Data Protection Act B.E. 2562 (PDPA), published in the Royal Gazette on 27 May 2019, became fully effective on 1 June 2022 after two postponements from the original 2020 effective date. The PDPA applies to the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data by data controllers and data processors in Thailand, and extraterritorially where activities target data subjects in Thailand (Section 5).

The Personal Data Protection Committee (PDPC, คณะกรรมการคุ้มครองข้อมูลส่วนบุคคล) is the supervisory authority established under Section 8. The Office of the Personal Data Protection Committee (OPDPC) serves as the operational secretariat.
