Best fit

  • The request explicitly mentions HIPAA, PHI, covered entities, business associates, or BAAs
  • Building or reviewing US healthcare software that stores, processes, exports, or transmits PHI
  • Assessing whether logging, analytics, LLM prompts, storage, or support workflows create HIPAA exposure

Bring this context

  • A concrete task that matches the documented purpose of hipaa-compliance.
  • The files, examples, or context the task depends on.
  • Your constraints, target environment, and definition of done.

Expected outputs

  • Activate hipaa-compliance
  • Use healthcare-phi-compliance to review PHI movement, logging, storage, and prompt boundaries
  • Verify whether the summarization provider is covered by a BAA before any PHI is sent

SkillSignal prompt templates

Provide the task, context, and acceptance criteria

These prompts were written by SkillSignal from the source structure; they are not upstream text.

Task-start prompt

Confirm source fit, inputs, and outputs before acting.

Use hipaa-compliance to help me with: [specific task]. Context: [files, data, or background]. Constraints: [environment, scope, and prohibited actions]. Before acting, check the pinned SKILL.md and explain which sections apply, what inputs are still missing, and what you will deliver.

Source-guided execution

Make the Agent explicitly follow the key extracted sections.

Apply the pinned hipaa-compliance source to [task]. Pay particular attention to these source sections: “When to Use”, “How It Works”, “HIPAA-Specific Guardrails”, “Examples”, “Example 1: Product request framed as HIPAA”. Preserve the important decision at each step. Mark facts not covered by the source as “needs confirmation” instead of inventing them. Then verify the result against my acceptance criteria: [criteria].

Result-review prompt

Check omissions, permissions, and source drift before delivery.

Review the current hipaa-compliance result: (1) does it satisfy the original task; (2) were any applicable steps or limits in the pinned SKILL.md missed; (3) did it perform any unauthorized file, command, network, or data action; and (4) which conclusions remain unverified? List issues first, then fix only what the source or user authorization supports.

Output checklist

HIPAA Compliance

Use this as the HIPAA-specific entrypoint when a task is clearly about US healthcare compliance. This skill intentionally stays thin and canonical:

  • healthcare-phi-compliance remains the primary implementation skill for PHI/PII handling, data classification, audit logging, encryption, and leak prevention.
  • healthcare-reviewer remains the specialized reviewer when code, architecture, or product behavior needs a healthcare-aware second pass.
  • security-review still applies for general auth, input-handling, secrets, API, and deployment hardening.

When to Use

  • The request explicitly mentions HIPAA, PHI, covered entities, business associates, or BAAs
  • Building or reviewing US healthcare software that stores, processes, exports, or transmits PHI
  • Assessing whether logging, analytics, LLM prompts, storage, or support workflows create HIPAA exposure
  • Designing patient-facing or clinician-facing systems where minimum necessary access and auditability matter

How It Works

Treat HIPAA as an overlay on top of the broader healthcare privacy skill:

  1. Start with healthcare-phi-compliance for the concrete implementation rules.
  2. Apply HIPAA-specific decision gates:
    • Is this data PHI?
    • Is this actor a covered entity or business associate?
    • Does a vendor or model provider require a BAA before touching the data?
    • Is access limited to the minimum necessary scope?
    • Are read/write/export events auditable?
  3. Escalate to healthcare-reviewer if the task affects patient safety, clinical workflows, or regulated production architecture.

HIPAA-Specific Guardrails

  • Never place PHI in logs, analytics events, crash reports, prompts, or client-visible error strings.
  • Never expose PHI in URLs, browser storage, screenshots, or copied example payloads.
  • Require authenticated access, scoped authorization, and audit trails for PHI reads and writes.
  • Treat third-party SaaS, observability, support tooling, and LLM providers as blocked-by-default until BAA status and data boundaries are clear.
  • Follow minimum necessary access: the right user should only see the smallest PHI slice needed for the task.
  • Prefer opaque internal IDs over names, MRNs, phone numbers, addresses, or other identifiers.

Examples

Example 1: Product request framed as HIPAA

User request:

Add AI-generated visit summaries to our clinician dashboard. We serve US clinics and need to stay HIPAA compliant.

Response pattern:

  • Activate hipaa-compliance
  • Use healthcare-phi-compliance to review PHI movement, logging, storage, and prompt boundaries
  • Verify whether the summarization provider is covered by a BAA before any PHI is sent
  • Escalate to healthcare-reviewer if the summaries influence clinical decisions

Example 2: Vendor/tooling decision

User request:

Can we send support transcripts and patient messages into our analytics stack?

Response pattern:

  • Assume those messages may contain PHI
  • Block the design unless the analytics vendor is approved for HIPAA-bound workloads and the data path is minimized
  • Require redaction or a non-PHI event model when possible
