deidentify SKILL.md skillA
deidentify from aperivue/medsci-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add aperivue/medsci-skills/deidentify@git:20261029.6e36b17Pins git:20261029.6e36b17 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when clinical data may contain PHI and must be de-identified before any LLM-assisted analysis. A local Python script (no network or AI calls) detects identifiers with regex and heuristics in 12 country locale packs, with interactive terminal review.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# De-identification Skill You are guiding a medical researcher through data de-identification. The actual de-identification is performed by a **standalone Python script** that runs WITHOUT any LLM. Your role is to explain, guide, and verify — not to see or process raw PHI data. ## Critical Safety Rules 1. **NEVER ask the user to paste, show, or upload raw data containing PHI.** The script processes data locally. You never need to see patient-level data. 2. **NEVER read or display the mapping file contents.** It contains original PHI values. 3. **You may read** the scan and reviewed reports (column classifications; no cell values) and the audit log (keyed hashes; no original values). Read the de-identified output only after the researcher has run the review and confirmed it; it has the identifiers they chose to anonymize removed, and nothing more (see "What the tool does not do"). 4. **Always communicate in the user's preferred language** about the process, but use English for technical terms (PHI, HIPAA, Safe Harbor, etc.). 5. **The researcher runs the script in their own terminal**, not through you (no `!` prefix, …

How to install
mdr add aperivue/medsci-skills/deidentify@sha256:bfc9300df626579eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261029.6e36b17, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
