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

triage-nda 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.

/triage-nda -- NDA Pre-Screening

If you see unfamiliar placeholders or need to check which tools are connected, see CONNECTORS.md.

Triage the NDA: @$1

Rapidly triage incoming NDAs against standard screening criteria. Classify the NDA for routing: standard approval, counsel review, or full legal review.

Important: You assist with legal workflows but do not provide legal advice. All analysis should be reviewed by qualified legal professionals before being relied upon.

Invocation

/triage-nda

Workflow

Step 1: Accept the NDA

Accept the NDA in any format:

  • File upload: PDF, DOCX, or other document format
  • URL: Link to the NDA in a document system
  • Pasted text: NDA text pasted directly

If no NDA is provided, prompt the user to supply one.

Step 2: Load NDA Playbook

Look for NDA screening criteria in local settings (e.g., legal.local.md).

The NDA playbook should define:

  • Mutual vs. unilateral requirements
  • Acceptable term lengths
  • Required carveouts
  • Prohibited provisions
  • Organization-specific requirements

If no NDA playbook is configured:

  • Proceed with reasonable market-standard defaults
  • Note clearly that defaults are being used
  • Defaults applied:
    • Mutual obligations required (unless the organization is only disclosing)
    • Term: 2-3 years standard, up to 5 years for trade secrets
    • Standard carveouts required: independently developed, publicly available, rightfully received from third party, required by law
    • No non-solicitation or non-compete provisions
    • No residuals clause (or narrowly scoped if present)
    • Governing law in a reasonable commercial jurisdiction

Step 3: Quick Screen

Evaluate the NDA against each screening criterion systematically.

1. Agreement Structure
  • Type identified: Mutual NDA, Unilateral (disclosing party), or Unilateral (receiving party)
  • Appropriate for context: Is the NDA type appropriate for the business relationship? (e.g., mutual for exploratory discussions, unilateral for one-way disclosures)
  • Standalone agreement: Confirm the NDA is a standalone agreement, not a confidentiality section embedded in a larger commercial agreement

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.
