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

expansion-update 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 13d 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 — 75 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/expansion-update

Returns to an open expansion tracker and updates item status based on what has happened since the last session. Recalculates what is now unblocked, flags anything overdue, and surfaces the next priorities.

Instructions

  1. Load ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/employment-legal/CLAUDE.md.

  2. Identify the tracker file: ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/employment-legal/expansion-[slug].yaml. If it doesn't exist, respond: "No expansion tracker found for [country]. Run /employment-legal:expansion-kickoff [country] to start one."

  3. Read the tracker. Show the current state:

[Country] Expansion — last updated [date]
Open: [N] | In progress: [N] | Done: [N] | Blocked: [N]

Next priorities (open items with earliest due dates or highest-dependency):
  [item] — owner: [owner]
  [item] — owner: [owner]
  [item] — owner: [owner]
  1. Ask for updates in a single prompt — do not ask about each item one by one:

    Which items have moved since we last looked? Tell me what's changed (e.g., "EOR decision made — going with Deel", "outside counsel engaged — call scheduled for Thursday", "PE analysis still open, waiting on tax"). You can also add new items or change due dates.

  2. Apply updates to the tracker file. For any item newly marked done, check whether it unblocks other items and flag those as now actionable.

  3. If any item has a due date that has passed and is still open or in-progress, flag it:

⚠️ Overdue: [item] — was due [date], owner: [owner]
  1. Write the updated tracker. Confirm:
Tracker updated — [N] items closed, [N] still open.
Next priority: [top open item].

Examples

/employment-legal:expansion-update Germany
/employment-legal:expansion-update
(will ask which country if multiple trackers exist)

Detailed tracker schema, item-status rules, and dependency logic live in the international-expansion reference skill — load it before doing substantive work.

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.
