Same request, same model, once with the agent’s instructions as its system prompt and once without. Neither could use a tool. Read both and judge for yourself.

The tasks

written by Carte Blanche
example-1

“We're a small startup building a telehealth scheduling app. Patients enter their name, date of birth, appointment reason, and insurance ID, and we store it all in AWS (RDS plus S3). Are we a covered entity or a business associate? Which of these fields count as PHI, and do we need a BAA with AWS?”

example-2

“I'm adding an analytics feature to our patient portal and want to send event data to a third-party analytics vendor. Events include user IDs, page URLs like /lab-results/12345, and timestamps. Could this be a HIPAA violation? Explain what de-identification requires under HIPAA, whether we need a BAA with the vendor, and what we should change in the event payloads.”

Install

Download the .zip and unzip it. Put hipaa-compliance.md here:

Claude Code~/.claude/agents/Every project. For one project only, use .claude/agents/ inside it. It gives the agent the tools it asks for, and no others.
Cursor~/.cursor/agents/Cursor also reads the Claude Code folder above. It has no tools field, so it gives every agent every tool, whatever this one asks for.
CodexCodex’s custom agents are TOML files, not Markdown, so this agent doesn’t install there.

Keep its license file beside it, as hipaa-compliance.LICENSE: a name that doesn’t end in .md, since every .md file there is read as an agent.

Then start a new session and ask for it by name. Folders checked 6 November 2026.

Or install from your agent: ask it to install hipaa-compliance from Carte Blanche.
