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

negotiation-prep 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 — 80 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Negotiation Prep

Prepare a negotiation strategy for "$ARGUMENTS". Define ideal positions, acceptable compromises, and walk-away points for each contentious clause, with counter-arguments and redline suggestions.

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 and jurisdiction context
    • Read .metapowers/legal/<project>/02-review.md if it exists (contract review or red-flag analysis)
    • Read any additional context provided by the user (business priorities, relationship dynamics)
  2. Identify contentious clauses:

    • Extract highest-risk items from prior review or red-flag analysis
    • If no prior review exists, identify contentious clauses from the contract directly
    • Rank by business impact and legal risk
  3. For each contentious clause, define three positions:

    • Ideal position — the best outcome; what you would propose in opening negotiation
    • Acceptable compromise — a middle ground that adequately protects interests
    • Walk-away point — the minimum acceptable terms; below this, decline or escalate
  4. Prepare counter-arguments for anticipated pushback:

    • Identify likely counterparty objections to each ideal position
    • Draft responses grounded in market standards, legal precedent, or business logic
    • Prepare supporting evidence (industry benchmarks, comparable deals)

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.
