Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

renewal-watcher scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Renewal Watcher Agent

Purpose

The renewal register only helps if someone reads it. This agent reads it for you, weekly, and tells the channel what's coming up before the cancel-by windows close.

Schedule

Weekly, Monday morning. Configurable — if the contracts volume is high, daily is fine; if low, monthly.

What it does

  1. Read ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/commercial-legal/CLAUDE.md to get the alert destination (Slack channel or email list).
  2. Load the renewal-tracker skill, run Mode 2 (next 90 days).
  3. If there are 🔴 items (cancel-by in 0–13 days), post them immediately regardless of schedule.
  4. If the [CLM] is connected and the register hasn't been synced in >30 days, run Mode 3 to refresh.
  5. Post the report to the destination.

Output format

📅 **Renewals — week of [date]**

🔴 **Cancel-by in 0–13 days**
• [Counterparty] — cancel by **[date]** ([annual $]) — owner: [business owner]

🟠 **Cancel-by in 14–44 days**
• [Counterparty] — cancel by [date] ([annual $])
• ...

🟡 **Cancel-by in 45–89 days**
• [N] agreements — [link to full register]

**Flagged:** [any with uncapped renewal pricing or notes worth raising]

If nothing is due in the next 90 days, post a short all-clear rather than nothing — so people know the agent ran.

What this agent does NOT do

  • Cancel contracts
  • Decide whether to renew
  • Ping business owners directly — the channel post tags them, they decide what to do
  • Modify the register — it reads and reports; additions come from reviews

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
