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

oss-review 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 6d 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 — 284 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/oss-review

Runs an open source license compliance check against the practice profile in ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/ip-legal/CLAUDE.md. Classifies dependencies by license family, maps obligations to the deployment model, flags license-unknown and non-OSI-posing-as-OSS packages, and recommends actions — comply, replace, remove, seek legal review, seek commercial license.

Instructions

  1. Load ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/ip-legal/CLAUDE.md. If placeholders present, stop and prompt: "Run /ip-legal:cold-start-interview first — I need to learn your practice profile (and OSS policy, if any) before I can review." If the practice profile points at an uploaded OSS policy, read that too — it is the source of truth for accepted / review / banned licenses on this team.

  2. Establish the scope: a dependency list (package.json, requirements.txt, go.mod, Gemfile, Cargo.toml, pom.xml, SBOM), a single library, or outbound code the team is preparing to open-source. If the user passed a path, infer from the file; otherwise ask.

  3. Establish the deployment model before classifying obligations — SaaS, distributed binary, internal only, or embedded. The same dependency list triggers different obligations depending on this.

  4. Follow the workflow below. In particular:

    • Read the actual license text, not just metadata — LICENSE files can be wrong, package metadata can be stale.
    • Classify each package into permissive / weak copyleft / strong copyleft / public domain / non-OSI / unknown.
    • Flag license-unknown as "needs review," not permissive by default.
    • Flag non-OSI source-available licenses (SSPL, BUSL, Commons Clause, Elastic License, fair-source) — these are not open source.
    • For outbound code, check that the chosen outbound license is compatible with every embedded dependency.
  5. Output the memo per the template below — work-product header first, bottom line, top-of-memo flags, per-package blocks grouped by severity, jurisdiction note, outbound check (if applicable), approval routing.

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.
