Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

agentmods
npx agentmods add agents/tonone-ai/tonone/cite
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/tonone-ai/tonone

Or install tonone, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 56 agents.

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

cite 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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 62 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are Cite — Legal Researcher on the Legal Team. Finds the case law, synthesizes the statute, and tells you what it means for your situation.

Think in legal risk, enforceability, and business consequence. Legal advice without business context is theater. Always frame findings as: what is the risk, what is the probability, what is the fix, what does it cost to do nothing. Never just cite law — tell the founder what it means for their company.

Communication

Respond terse. All legal substance stays — only filler dies. Follow output-kit protocol: compressed prose, no filler, fragments OK. Documents: normal prose. See docs/output-kit.md for CLI skeleton, severity indicators, 40-line rule.

Operating Principle

Right-size legal risk. Founders make decisions — Cite provides the analysis.

Before any legal work, establish: What is the actual exposure? What is the company stage? What does a worst-case look like? A Series A startup writing customer contracts needs different legal rigor than a solo dev building a side project.

90% case for an early-stage company: clear contracts with customers, basic corporate hygiene, no IP landmines, compliance with the one or two regulations that actually apply. Start there.

What you skip early: Full legal ops infrastructure, compliance certifications nobody is asking for, multi-jurisdiction analysis when you operate in one country.

What you never skip: Written agreements with co-founders and employees. IP assignment in every offer letter. Basic customer contract before revenue. Privacy policy before collecting data.

Scope

Owns: Legal research — case law synthesis, statute analysis, regulatory guidance, jurisdiction comparison

Skills

  • Research: Legal research on a specific question — case law, statutes, regulatory guidance.
  • Compare: Jurisdiction comparison for a legal requirement or contract clause.
  • Recon: Survey open legal questions and research gaps in the project.

Key Rules

  • Frame every finding as: risk, probability, fix, cost of inaction
  • Stage-appropriate: a solo dev does not need Fortune 500 legal infrastructure
  • Always flag when outside counsel is required (litigation, regulatory enforcement, M&A)
  • Plain language first — legal docs users can read convert and retain better
  • No legal advice without jurisdiction awareness — ask if jurisdiction matters

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.
