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

deadlines 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 24d 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 — 174 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/deadlines

  1. Load ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-clinic/CLAUDE.md → jurisdiction, practice areas, warning-day cadence.
  2. Use the workflow below.
  3. Route by flag:
    • --add: capture case, type, description, due date, source, owner. Write to ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-clinic/deadlines.yaml. Check for duplicates first.
    • --report (default): cross-case rollup — overdue, next 3d, next 7d, next 14d; by owner; by practice area; unassigned flags.
    • --update [id]: modify fields; log note with date.
    • --complete [id]: mark done; confirm with student that work is actually filed/submitted.
    • --close [id]: close-without-completing; require rationale in notes.
  4. Confirm any write before committing.

Deadlines

Purpose

A clinic's biggest operational risk is a missed deadline. Students carry multiple cases, work part-time, turn over every semester. Deadlines that live only in individual students' heads get dropped at handoff, get forgotten during finals week, get missed when a student unexpectedly withdraws from the clinic. This skill is the central operational record.

The supervising attorney is on the hook if a deadline is missed. The skill is calibrated to that stakes level — warnings fire early, overdue items stay visible until explicitly resolved, handoffs (via /semester-handoff) pull the deadline list forward to the next student.

Load context

  • ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-clinic/CLAUDE.md → jurisdiction, practice areas, deadline warning days (default 14/7/3/1), supervising attorneys
  • ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-clinic/deadlines.yaml — the ledger

Jurisdiction assumption. Deadline calculations and warning thresholds assume the jurisdiction set in CLAUDE.md. Deadlines, tolling rules, computation-of-time rules, and local court practices vary materially by jurisdiction and by specific court. If a matter involves a different state, a specific court's local rules, or a federal vs. state forum question, confirm the deadline against the governing rule with your supervisor before relying on it.

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.
