data-breach-response
Respond to your data being breached — triage by what actually leaked, the freeze/rotate/monitor ladder in the right order, and the calibrated watchfulness that follows, without panic or paralysis. Use when someone asks my data was in a breach what do I do, I got a breach notification letter, my SSN/ID number leaked, or should I freeze my credit. Produces the leaked-data triage, the ordered response ladder with the do-today items, the monitoring plan, and the breach-letter decode (including what the free credit monitoring offer is and isn't).

# Data Breach Response Skill The breach notification letter arrives months late, written by lawyers to minimize alarm and liability in the same paragraph — and the reader's real question is buried: *what did they get, and what do I actually do?* The answer depends entirely on the first part: a leaked password and a leaked government ID number are different emergencies with different ladders. This skill triages by what leaked, orders the response (some steps are today, most aren't), and decodes the letter itself — including the free-monitoring offer, which is worth taking and worth understanding. ## What This Skill Produces - **The triage** — what leaked, mapped to what it enables: account takeover, financial fraud, identity theft, targeted phishing - **The ladder** — do-today / this-week / ongoing, ordered by damage-prevented-per-minute - **The monitoring plan** — what to watch, where, at what cadence — calibrated, not paranoid - **The letter decode** — what the notification actually admits, and what the monitoring offer covers ## Required Inputs Ask for these if not provided: - **What leaked** — from the letter or breach-lookup: email? passwords (hashed or plain — the letter usual

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills --skill data-breach-response --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills, a repository with 1,255 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
