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 uae-pdp-law skill to implement compliance with the UAE Federal Decree-Law No. An agent skill from mukul975/Privacy-Data-Protection-Skills”
  • “/uae-pdp-law”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Consent of the data subject — must be clear, specific, informed, unambiguous, easy to withdraw
  2. Necessary for performance or initiation of a contract with the data subject
  3. Necessary for compliance with legal obligations of the controller
  4. Necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another person
  5. Processing concerns data made public by the data subject
  6. Necessary for legal proceedings — establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims
  7. Necessary for medical purposes — preventive or occupational medicine, by a medical professional
  8. Necessary for public interest — archiving, statistical analysis, scientific research
  9. Necessary for the legitimate interests of the controller, provided data subject rights do not override

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

Uae Pdp Law loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 105 tokens; SKILL.md has 958 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~105
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
~5.1k

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.

UAE Personal Data Protection Law Compliance

Overview

Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data (the UAE PDP Law) was issued on 20 September 2021 and entered into force on 2 January 2022, with a compliance grace period. The Executive Regulations were issued by Cabinet Decision No. 111 of 2023, published in the Official Gazette on 23 October 2023, and companies were given until 1 January 2025 to achieve compliance. The UAE Data Office (established under the law) is the supervisory authority responsible for enforcement.

The UAE PDP Law is the first comprehensive federal data protection law in the UAE. It is important to note that the UAE also has separate data protection regimes in the financial free zones: the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) Data Protection Law No. 5 of 2020 and the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) Data Protection Regulations 2021. These free zone laws operate independently of the federal law.
