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

skill-manager 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 1mo 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.

Skill Manager

Purpose

Remove or quiet a community skill after install. Symmetric with the installer: the installer writes files with user approval, the skill-manager removes or disables them with user approval. The installer's audit trail (install-log.yaml) is the source of truth for what this skill may act on.

What this skill may act on

Only community skills installed through this hub. Identification rule:

  • The skill's name must appear in ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-builder-hub/install-log.yaml with a most-recent action of install or enable (not uninstall).
  • The skill's files must resolve to a path outside the built-in plugin directories that ship with claude-for-legal.

If either check fails, refuse and tell the user why. Never delete or rename files inside a first-party plugin.

Built-in plugins (do not touch)

The 12 core plugins that ship with claude-for-legal are off-limits from this command. The canonical list lives in the hub's CLAUDE.md under "Built-in plugins." Examples include commercial-legal, corporate-legal, employment-legal, privacy-legal, product-legal, regulatory-legal, ai-governance-legal, litigation-legal, litigation-legal, law-student, legal-clinic, and the hub itself (legal-builder-hub). If the caller names a skill that resolves into any of these, refuse.

Workflow — uninstall

Step 1: Verify the skill is community-installed

Read install-log.yaml. Find the most recent entry for the named skill. If not found or if the last action is uninstall: say so and stop.

Step 2: Resolve files

Determine the install path from the log (written at install time). Enumerate every file and subdirectory. Also identify any config the skill wrote to the user's ~/.claude/plugins/config/... — surface this to the user but do not delete it by default (configuration may be worth keeping for a later re-install).

Step 3: Show and confirm

Display:

  • The skill's install directory path
  • Every file that will be deleted
  • Any config directories that will NOT be deleted (with a note that the user can delete them manually if desired)

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.
