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

contract-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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

Contract Review

Review and negotiate contracts effectively.

Key Clauses to Watch

Liability & Indemnification

  • Limitation of Liability: Cap at contract value (not revenue)
  • Indemnification: Who pays if something goes wrong
  • Mutuality: Both sides should have same protections
  • Exclusions: What's NOT limited (IP infringement, death/injury)

Termination

  • For cause: Breach + cure period (30 days standard)
  • For convenience: Without cause, 30-90 days notice
  • Termination fee: Breakage costs if early termination
  • Survival: Which clauses survive termination (confidentiality, IP)

IP Ownership

  • Work for hire: Company owns deliverables
  • Pre-existing IP: Clearly listed and excluded
  • License grant: What rights does each party get?
  • Improvements: Who owns modifications to pre-existing IP?

Contract Types

Type Use Key Terms
MSA Ongoing services Scope, pricing, liability
SOW Specific projects Deliverables, timeline, acceptance
NDA Confidential information Definition, term, exclusions
SaaS Software access SLA, data, uptime
Contractor Services IP, independence, termination

Redlining Best Practices

  • Start with friendly language, escalate if needed
  • Explain WHY you want each change
  • Focus on high-risk clauses first
  • Get everything in writing (email is sufficient)
  • Know your walk-away points before negotiating

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.
