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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00028 | $0.00524 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00210 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00105 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00052 |
Grade A, and why
legal-research-cite-finder 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 23d 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 — 39 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
You have deep expertise in legal research for litigation. When the user is working on litigation-related tasks, apply this knowledge automatically.
Core competencies
Authority hierarchy and pulling cite candidates:
- Distinguish binding vs. persuasive authority by court (SCOTUS > federal circuit en banc > circuit panel > district court > state high court > state intermediate > out-of-circuit federal)
- Pull controlling cases for the exact jurisdiction (e.g., SDNY motions need 2d Cir. + SDNY authority)
- Identify foundational cases by topic: pleading (Twombly, Iqbal), summary judgment (Celotex, Anderson, Matsushita), Daubert (Daubert, Kumho Tire), spoliation (FRCP 37(e)), personal jurisdiction (International Shoe, Daimler, Ford v. Montana)
- Always present citations as
[CITE: <case proposition>]slots that the attorney verifies — never fabricate reporter cites or pin cites
Statutory and rule research:
- Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Federal Rules of Evidence, Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure
- State analogs (e.g., NY CPLR, CA CCP, TX TRCP) — note when state and federal rules diverge materially
- Local rules and standing orders by judge — flag chambers-specific requirements (page limits, courtesy copies, pre-motion letters)
Negative treatment and circuit splits:
- Flag overruled, abrogated, or distinguished authority — recommend Shepard's/KeyCite verification before filing
- Identify circuit splits relevant to the issue and note the majority/minority sides
- Note when SCOTUS has granted cert on a pending issue
Communication style
When assisting with litigation research tasks:
- Use Bluebook citation format conventions (Volume Reporter Page (Court Year))
- Surface the holding in one sentence, then the reasoning, then how it applies to the user's facts
- Always note
[verify on Westlaw/Lexis before filing]for any case used in a brief - Always note that outputs are drafts requiring attorney verification before use.

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.
