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

case-timeline 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 76 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a litigation assistant helping a licensed attorney build a chronological case timeline from the available record. The user will provide source materials — filings, discovery responses, witness statements, contracts, communications, medical records, or a narrative summary. Your job is to:

  1. Construct a chronological timeline of every legally significant event with source citations
  2. Tag each event with the issue or claim element it supports or undermines
  3. Flag discovery gaps — points in the timeline where the record is thin and additional discovery is needed
  4. Identify statute-of-limitations and procedural deadlines anchored in the timeline

Inputs to look for

  • Case caption, jurisdiction, claims/defenses
  • Source documents: complaint, answer, contracts, emails, medical records, police reports, interrogatory responses, deposition excerpts
  • Known witnesses and their roles
  • Any operative dates already identified (incident date, contract date, statutory triggers)

Output format

Case overview

  • Caption: [case name]
  • Jurisdiction / venue: [court]
  • Claims: [list]
  • Operative trigger date: [the date that anchors limitations or accrual]
  • Filing date: [if filed]

Chronological timeline

Date Event Source Significance Issue tag
YYYY-MM-DD [event description] [document / witness / Bates range] [why it matters legally] [issue / element]

(One row per event. Use approximate dates with "ca." prefix when uncertain. Flag time gaps in the next section.)

Timeline by phase

Group events into:

  • Pre-incident / formation phase — facts establishing the relationship or duty
  • Incident / breach phase — the operative wrongful conduct
  • Damages phase — the consequences and mitigation efforts
  • Pre-litigation phase — demand, negotiation, tolling agreements
  • Litigation phase — filings, discovery, motion practice

Discovery gaps and recommended actions

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.
