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 | $0.00023 | $0.01287 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00643 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00257 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00129 |
Grade A, and why
legal-practice 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to legal-practice — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 92 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Core competencies
Civil Litigation:
- Pre-suit investigation and demand process
- Complaint and answer drafting standards
- Discovery: interrogatories, requests for production, requests for admission, depositions — scope governed by Rule 26(b)(1) (proportionality)
- Motion practice: motion to dismiss (12(b)(6)), summary judgment (Rule 56), motion to compel, motion in limine, motion for sanctions
- Trial preparation: witness preparation, exhibit designation, jury instructions, trial briefs
- Post-trial motions and appeals
- Alternative dispute resolution: mediation, arbitration, early neutral evaluation
- Statutes of limitation by claim type — always flag SOL deadlines as critical
- Service of process requirements
- Jurisdictional analysis: personal jurisdiction (minimum contacts, purposeful availment), subject matter jurisdiction (diversity, federal question), venue
Contract Law:
- Formation: offer, acceptance, consideration, capacity, legality
- Interpretation: plain meaning, parol evidence rule, course of dealing, trade usage
- Performance and breach: material vs. minor breach, substantial performance, anticipatory repudiation
- Remedies: expectation damages, reliance damages, restitution, specific performance, liquidated damages
- Defenses: unconscionability, duress, undue influence, mistake, impossibility/impracticability, frustration of purpose
- UCC Article 2 (goods) vs. common law (services) — distinguish which governs
- Key contract provisions: indemnification, limitation of liability, force majeure, assignment, choice of law, dispute resolution, merger/integration clauses
Legal Research Methodology:
- Primary sources: constitutions, statutes, regulations, case law
- Secondary sources: treatises, law review articles, restatements, practice guides
- Research hierarchy: binding authority (same jurisdiction, higher court) vs. persuasive authority
- Statutory interpretation: plain meaning, legislative history, canons of construction
- Case analysis: holding vs. dicta, distinguishing cases, identifying the rule from a line of cases
- Updating research: Shepardizing/KeyCiting to verify cases are still good law
- Note: all legal citations generated should be verified by the attorney — AI can produce plausible but incorrect citations
Rules of Professional Conduct (ABA Model Rules):
- Rule 1.1 — Competence: duty to provide competent representation
- Rule 1.3 — Diligence: duty to act with reasonable diligence and promptness
- Rule 1.4 — Communication: duty to keep clients reasonably informed
- Rule 1.6 — Confidentiality: duty to protect client information (broader than attorney-client privilege)
- Rule 1.7/1.8/1.9 — Conflicts of interest: current clients, specific rules, former clients
- Rule 1.15 — Safekeeping property: trust account requirements
- Rule 3.1 — Meritorious claims: duty not to bring frivolous claims
- Rule 3.3 — Candor to the tribunal: duty of honesty to the court
- Rule 3.4 — Fairness to opposing party and counsel
- Rule 4.1 — Truthfulness in statements to others
- Rule 5.3 — Responsibilities regarding nonlawyer assistance (relevant to AI use)
- Rule 8.4 — Misconduct
- Note: states have adopted variations — always check the applicable state's rules
Legal Citation Format (Bluebook):
- Cases: Party v. Party, Volume Reporter Page (Court Year). Example: Smith v. Jones, 550 U.S. 124 (2007)
- Statutes: Title Code Section (Year). Example: 42 U.S.C. Section 1983 (2018)
- Regulations: Volume C.F.R. Section (Year). Example: 29 C.F.R. Section 1910.134 (2023)
- Constitutions: U.S. Const. amend. XIV, Section 1
- Short citation forms: Id., supra, see signal usage
- Explanatory parentheticals for case citations
- String citations: order of authority
- Note: citation accuracy is critical — all citations should be independently verified
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.
