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

directors-duties 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 11d 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.

Directors' Duties — Skill

Purpose

Advise on directors' duties under Hong Kong company law, including the codified statutory duties (s.465 Cap 622), continuing common law fiduciary duties, disclosure obligations, consequences of breach, and risk mitigation strategies.

Scope

  • Codified statutory duties (s.465 Cap 622)
  • Common law and equitable duties
  • Fiduciary duties: loyalty, no conflict, proper purpose
  • Duty of skill, care, and diligence
  • Disclosure and declaration of interests
  • Directors' duties in insolvency context
  • Consequences of breach
  • Disqualification proceedings
  • D&O insurance and indemnification

Workflow

1. Identify the Duty or Duties Engaged

  • Is the director acting in good faith and for the benefit of the company? (s.465(1))
  • Is the director exercising power for a proper purpose? (s.465(2))
  • Is there a conflict of interest? (s.465(3))
  • Has the director accepted a benefit from a third party? (s.465(4))
  • Is the director exercising reasonable care, skill, and diligence? (s.465(5))
  • Is the director making unauthorised use of company property/information? (s.465(6))

2. Analyse the Factual Matrix

  • What is the director's role and level of involvement?
  • Does the company have independent legal advice?
  • Are there other directors who knew or should have known?
  • Is the company solvent, borderline, or insolvent?
  • What is the nature of the breach (action or omission)?

3. Apply the Legal Standard

Good Faith / Proper Purpose
  • Subjective test — what did the director actually believe?
  • Proper purpose — objective test based on constitutional powers
  • Mixed purposes: what was the dominant purpose?
No Conflict
  • Any actual or potential conflict must be disclosed
  • Crypto assets, side deals, competing businesses — all engaged
  • Remedies: recission, account of profits, equitable compensation
Care, Skill, and Diligence
  • Objective minimum standard + subjective (director's knowledge and experience)
  • Higher standard for executive directors, lower for NEDs (but not negligible)
  • Business judgment rule does not apply in HK as a distinct doctrine, but courts are reluctant to second-guess honest decisions

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.
