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

vendor-agreement-review 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.

Vendor Agreement Review

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 /commercial-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/commercial-legal/matters/<matter-slug>/. Never read another matter's files unless Cross-matter context is on.


Destination check

Before producing output, check where it's going. If the user has named a destination (a channel, a distribution list, a counterparty, "everyone"), ask whether it's inside the privilege circle. Public channels, company-wide lists, counterparty/opposing counsel, vendors, and clients (for work product) waive the protection. When the destination looks outside the circle, flag it and offer (a) the privileged version for legal only, (b) a sanitized version for the broader channel, or (c) both — don't silently apply a privileged header and then help paste it somewhere the header won't protect it. See the canonical ## Shared guardrails → Destination check in this plugin's CLAUDE.md.

Purpose

Read a vendor agreement against the playbook this team actually uses (in ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-hk-law/commercial-legal/CLAUDE.md), find every term that deviates, and tell the lawyer what to do about each one — with specific redline language, not vague "consider revising."

The output is a review memo the lawyer can act on in one pass. Every issue has a severity, a business-impact explanation, a proposed fix, and an escalation call if one is needed.

Jurisdiction assumption

This review applies the team's positions from ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-hk-law/commercial-legal/CLAUDE.md, which default to Hong Kong (HKSAR), England and Wales, and Singapore governing law unless the profile or contract says otherwise. If the agreement picks a different governing law, or the deal spans jurisdictions with statutory overrides (e.g., US state consumer rules, EU data-protection law, PDPO issues for HK data subjects), flag it — the analysis may not transfer as written.

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.
