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

legal-playbook 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 3d 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 — 93 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Create a standardized legal playbook for "$ARGUMENTS". Define decision trees, approval thresholds, pre-approved templates, escalation criteria, and timeline expectations for recurring legal scenarios.

Note: AI-generated legal content does not constitute legal advice. Consult a qualified attorney.

Arguments. $ARGUMENTS may contain the project name and optional flags. Take the first token as <project> and treat --skip-checks as a flag; never include flags in file paths. All paths below use <project>. If --skip-checks is present, skip the prerequisite check and, before writing any artifact, append one line to .metapowers/legal/<project>/skip-log.md: - <ISO timestamp> — <skill name> skipped prerequisite check for <artifact file> — reason: <reason or "none given">.

Prerequisites

Check that .metapowers/legal/<project>/00-assess.md exists. If it does not exist, stop and tell the user:

"Run an Assess skill first (e.g. /legal:risk-assessment <project>) to generate the prerequisite assessment artifact."

Process

  1. Read inputs:

    • Read .metapowers/legal/<project>/00-assess.md for risk context, jurisdiction, and organizational profile
    • Review any existing legal artifacts in .metapowers/legal/<project>/
  2. Identify recurring legal scenarios:

    • Contract negotiation — standard terms, acceptable deviations, deal-breakers
    • Data breach response — detection, containment, notification, remediation
    • Employee termination — voluntary, involuntary, for cause, layoff procedures
    • IP dispute — infringement claims, cease-and-desist responses, defensive actions
    • Vendor onboarding — due diligence, contract requirements, risk assessment
    • M&A due diligence — legal review scope, red flags, documentation requirements
    • Regulatory inquiry — response protocols, document preservation, communication rules
    • Tailor scenarios to the specific needs of ""
  3. Create decision tree for each scenario:

    • Define the triggering event (what initiates the scenario)
    • Map decision points with if/then logic (if X, then Y)
    • Identify the possible outcomes at each branch
    • Include time constraints at each decision point
    • Document the rationale for each recommended path

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.
