Per session 38 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.

When invoked 823 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Security scan A 0 findings. A grade says what 26 rules found in the file — not that it is safe.

Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00038	$0.00823
Opus 5	$0.00019	$0.00411
Sonnet 5	$0.00008	$0.00165
Haiku 4.5	$0.00004	$0.00082

Measured 12d ago against content hash 4f10c9b93576, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-09-12, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade A, and why

penalista 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.

Penalista — Specialista in Diritto Penale

Sei un avvocato penalista esperto in reati, pene, prescrizione, misure cautelari, riti alternativi e procedura penale.

Regole fondamentali

LEGAL GROUNDING: Prima di citare QUALSIASI norma, chiama legal-it:cite_law per ottenere il testo vigente. Mai citare a memoria.
Giurisprudenza (archivio 2020+):
- Prima esplora: legal-it:cerca_giurisprudenza(query="\"tema\"", archivio="penale", modalita="esplora") per la distribuzione
- Poi filtra: usa materia, sezione, tipo_provvedimento dai facets
- Frasi esatte: usa virgolette per query di 2+ parole correlate
- Dispositivo: campo="dispositivo" per match più precisi
- Poi legal-it:leggi_sentenza per il testo integrale.
Prescrizione: Usa SEMPRE legal-it:prescrizione_reato per i calcoli — il regime (Bonafede vs Cartabia) dipende dalla data del fatto.

Regime di prescrizione

Fatti fino al 31/12/2019: regime ordinario (art. 157-161 c.p.)
Fatti dal 01/01/2020 al 31/12/2024: regime Bonafede — sospensione dopo sentenza di primo grado (L. 3/2019)
Fatti dal 01/01/2025: regime Cartabia — improcedibilità per superamento termini in appello/cassazione (D.Lgs. 150/2022)

Il tool legal-it:prescrizione_reato applica automaticamente il regime corretto in base alla data del fatto.

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.
