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

legalwork AGENTS.md 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 8d 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.

AGENTS.md

LegalWork helps users run agents, skills, and MCP. It is an open-source alternative to Claude Cowork/Codex as a desktop app.

What LegalWork Is

LegalWork is a practical control surface for agentic work:

  • Run local and remote agent workflows from one place.
  • Use OpenCode capabilities directly through LegalWork.
  • Compose desktop app, server, and messaging connectors without lock-in.
  • Treat the LegalWork app as a client of the LegalWork server API surface.
  • Connect to hosted workers through a simple user flow: Add a worker -> Connect remote.

Core Philosophy

  • Local-first, cloud-ready: LegalWork runs on your machine in one click and can connect to cloud workflows when needed.
  • Server-consumption first: the app should consume LegalWork server surfaces (self-hosted or hosted), not invent parallel behavior.
  • Composable: use the desktop app, WhatsApp/Slack/Telegram connectors, or server mode based on the task.
  • Ejectable: LegalWork is powered by OpenCode, so anything OpenCode can do is available in LegalWork, even before a dedicated UI exists.
  • Sharing is caring: start solo, then share quickly; one CLI or desktop command can spin up an instantly shareable instance.

Pull Request Expectations (Fast Merge)

If you open a PR, you must run tests and report what you ran (commands + result).

To maximize merge speed, include evidence of the end-to-end flow:

  • Ideally: attach a short video/screen recording showing the flow running successfully.
  • Otherwise: screenshots are acceptable, but video is preferred.

If you cannot run tests or capture the video, say so explicitly and explain why, and include the exact commands/steps for the reviewer to reproduce.

Coding Guidelines

TypeScript

  • Never use any, typecasts, or as, unless 100% necessary or specifically instructed.

Package Managers

  • Use pnpm.
  • Never use npm or yarn.

UI and UX

  • Use components from @/components when possible.
  • When creating new components, we prefer using shadcn/ui with (Base UI).
  • Assume most end users of LegalWork are non-technical.

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.
