Use this skill whenever the user asks to de-identify, redact, anonymise, scrub, or remove PHI/PII from clinical text, notes, transcripts, or documents before sharing, exporting, or using them for analytics, testing, or demos — e.g. "de-identify this note", "strip patient info", "make this HIPAA Safe Harbor compliant", "produce a limited data set".
