Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00081 | $0.01940 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00041 | $0.00970 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00016 | $0.00388 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00194 |
Grade A, and why
federal-court-rules 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 8d 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 — 140 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Federal Court Rules
The reader scripts automatically install the latest verified corpus on first use. After installation, lookups are local and the corpus is not checked for updates in that environment.
Use this skill when a task requires bundled federal rule text, selected federal district local rules, ECF rules, citation checking, rule lookup, or analysis grounded in the local corpus.
Corpus Layout
All shipped data lives under references/.
references/index.jsonis the master rule-set inventory. Use it, orscripts/read_rule.py --list-rule-sets, to discover supported courts and rule counts.references/aliases.jsonis the top-level alias map for core federal rules. Each rule-set directory may also have its ownaliases.json.- Each rule set is stored as
references/<rule-set>/index.json,rules.json,rules.html, and usuallyaliases.json. - Rule-set indexes include citation metadata such as
ruleSet,ruleId,title,citation,division,path,anchor,status, source path, source URL, public URL, source pages, and text length where available.
Do not treat SKILL.md as the authoritative list of supported districts. The authoritative list is generated data in references/index.json.
Coverage and currency
The corpus includes FRCP, FRAP, FRE, the Supplemental Admiralty Rules, the Supplemental Rules for Social Security Actions, and selected federal district local and ECF rules. It is intentionally useful rather than comprehensive. It does not include the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, Supreme Court Rules, circuit local rules, every federal district, every appendix or filing manual, standing or general orders, or judge-specific individual practices.
Each rule-set index records its own effective-through date and official source URL where available. Dates vary by court. Always identify the relevant rule set and its bundled effective date, and verify the live court website before relying on a rule for a filing, deadline, formatting requirement, or other time-sensitive procedural decision.
What ships with it
2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

federal-court-rules is a skill published in the GitHub repository DocketDrafter/docketdrafter-plugins (9 stars, last pushed 14d ago), licensed BSD-3-Clause. It adds 81 tokens to every session and 1,940 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
