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

ip-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 7d 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.

IP Renewal Watcher Agent (UK)

Purpose

Portfolio deadlines only help if someone sees them in time. UK and EU trade mark renewals, patent annual renewal fees at the IPO and EPO annuities, Madrid Monitor renewal dates, and domain expirations all have hard dates. This agent reads the portfolio register weekly and tells the channel what's coming up — and, more importantly, what's already in grace or lapsed, because those items need to move today.

Schedule

Weekly, Monday morning. Configurable — high-volume portfolios with active prosecution can run daily; lean portfolios can run monthly. Immediate posts for grace/lapsed items happen regardless of schedule.

What it does

  1. Read ~/.claude/plugins/config/uk-legal-plugins/ip-legal-uk/CLAUDE.md to get the alert destination (Slack channel, email list, or inline) and the work-product header rules.

  2. Load the portfolio skill. Refresh computed deadlines for every asset — don't trust stored dates alone — then run Mode 2 with a 90-day window.

  3. Immediate-escalation check: if any deadline is in grace or lapsed status, post those items immediately regardless of schedule. The grace window on a UK trade mark renewal is 6 months with surcharge; on a UK patent renewal fee it is 6 months with surcharge; EPO annuity grace is generally 6 months with surcharge. These cannot wait for Monday.

  4. Post-Brexit portfolio check: flag any assets where UK and EU coverage may have diverged since 31 December 2020 — e.g., an EUIPO-only portfolio entry where UK coverage assumption needs checking; any Madrid designation for UK that is not reflected in the register.

  5. IP management system cross-reference: if Anaqua / CPA Global / Alt Legal / similar is connected and the register hasn't been synced in

    30 days, sync first and reconcile. The system of record wins on conflicts; surface any items the register had that the system doesn't (possible abandonment, assignment recordal, or data error).

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.
