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

civic-query 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 10d 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.

/civic-query - India Civic Law Query Assistant

Command Purpose

General-purpose civic law query handler that routes your question to the appropriate specialist agent (RTI, Administrative Law, Local Governance, Public Services, PIL/Environmental) for comprehensive guidance on citizen rights and government accountability under Indian law.

How It Works

This command invokes the master orchestrator (india-civic-law-specialist) which:

  1. Classifies your query into appropriate domain (RTI / Admin Law / Local Gov / Public Services / PIL-Environmental / Consumer)
  2. Delegates to specialized sub-agent for expert analysis
  3. Provides comprehensive, actionable guidance with:
    • Legal framework (applicable laws, sections, case laws)
    • Step-by-step procedure
    • Timeline and costs
    • Evidence to gather
    • Escalation paths
    • Strategic recommendations

When to Use

Use /civic-query for general civic law questions on:

  • Government services and rights
  • RTI (if not drafting application - use /file-rti for drafting)
  • Writs (if not seeking viability analysis - use /check-writ for that)
  • Local government issues (property tax, building permissions, municipal services)
  • Public grievances (CPGRAMS, Citizens Charter)
  • Consumer protection
  • PIL and environmental law (if not seeking viability - use /pil-viability for that)
  • Administrative tribunals

Use specialized commands for specific tasks:

  • /file-rti - Draft RTI application
  • /check-writ - Writ petition viability analysis
  • /pil-viability - PIL assessment

Usage

/civic-query

OR with your question:

/civic-query How do I challenge property tax assessment?
/civic-query Municipality not collecting garbage for weeks, what can I do?
/civic-query Can I file RTI to private hospital?

Query Domains & Routing

The orchestrator will intelligently route your query based on keywords and context:

RTI Domain → rti-specialist

Triggers: "RTI", "information", "PIO", "transparency", "Section 8", "exemption", "appeal", "CIC"
