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

international-expansion 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 12d 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.

International Expansion Skill

Matter context

Matter context. Check ## Matter workspaces in the practice-level CLAUDE.md. If Enabled is (the default for in-house users), skip the rest of this paragraph — skills use practice-level context and the matter machinery is invisible. If enabled and there is no active matter, ask: "Which matter is this for? Run /employment-legal:matter-workspace switch <slug> or say practice-level." Load the active matter's matter.md for matter-specific context and overrides. Write outputs to the matter folder at ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-hk-law/employment-legal/matters/<matter-slug>/. Never read another matter's files unless Cross-matter context is on.


Purpose

International hiring gets handled sloppily at scaleups because nobody owns the full picture. Legal knows the employment-law questions but not the PE risk questions. Finance knows the cost model but not the employee-representation triggers. HR knows the comp benchmarks but not the Day 1 compliance requirements.

This skill doesn't replace any of those functions. It maps the terrain, drafts the right questions for each stakeholder, produces a briefing request that walks outside counsel through the country-specific issues, and creates a tracker that keeps the project moving across sessions.

This skill assumes expansion is decided. It is not a "should we expand?" framework.

This skill does not contain country-specific employment law. The substantive rules change frequently and vary by role, headcount, and industry — the skill routes every country through an outside-counsel briefing rather than relying on a stored reference table.

Load context
