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).
What to give it
▸What leaked — from the letter or breach-lookup: email? passwords (hashed or plain — the letter usually says)? card numbers? government ID / SSN? medical? The whole response keys off this list
▸The account's blast radius — was that password reused? (The honest answer decides half the ladder) Is the breached account an identity anchor (primary email)?
▸Jurisdiction, loosely — credit freezes, fraud alerts, and ID-theft reporting are country-specific; the ladder names the *step types* with verify-locally flags
▸What's been noticed — any weird charges, logins, or mail already? That upgrades the response from preventive to active-incident
✅ The bar it holds itself to
Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.
✓Every response item traces to a specific leaked data type — no generic hygiene dump
✓The reuse question was asked and its answer shaped the ladder
✓Freeze vs. monitoring is explained as prevention vs. detection
✓Jurisdiction-specific mechanisms are typed and flagged, not asserted
✓The active-incident branch exists and upgrades the response when triggered
⚠️ What it refuses to do
Do not respond to every breach identically — a forum password and an ID number are different events
Do not present the monitoring offer as protection — it's a smoke detector, not a lock; take it anyway
Do not induce panic or dismiss — the calibrated middle is the product
Do not skip the email-anchor check — the account that resets all others is the one that matters most
Do not let "no evidence of misuse" close the case — the ladder runs on what leaked, not on the letter's comfort
