phi-desensitize
Use this skill before any prompt, log message, error trace, test fixture, or external API call that may include patient health information (PHI) or personal identifying information (PII) in a medical-data SaaS context. Replaces sensitive tokens with reversible synthetic substitutes, emits a desensitize map (encrypted), and produces a residual-risk report. Mandatory pre-stage before any L3/L4 data ever enters a model context window. Chinese trigger examples: "脱敏", "PHI 脱敏", "数据脱敏", "去标识化", "patient_id 替换", "把这段日志脱敏", "把样例匿名化". Do NOT use as a one-way redactor when the workflow needs round-tri

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# PHI Desensitize The single most important runtime gate in the entire AI Coding system: **no L3/L4 token should ever enter a model context window without first passing through this skill.** ## Core mental model Desensitization is **not redaction**. Redaction destroys information; desensitization replaces it with reversible placeholders so the downstream LLM can still reason about structure and re

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add charliehzm/medharness --skill phi-desensitize --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 charliehzm/medharness, a repository with 96 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.
