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

il-laws 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 3d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/corpus.py, scripts/read_section.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 93 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Illinois Laws

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 Illinois statutory text, Illinois Supreme Court Rules, section lookup, citation checking, or analysis based on Illinois Compiled Statutes sections or Illinois court rules.

Corpus layout

All data lives under references/:

  • references/index.json — master index. Top-level laws is a {lawId: {name, citationBase, chapter, act, sectionCount, ...}} map covering each ILCS Act.
  • references/aliases.json — general aliases for the corpus (ILCS, Ill. Comp. Stat., Illinois Compiled Statutes).
  • references/laws/{lawId}/law.json — per-Act metadata: name, chapter, act, citationBase, chapterName, title, cite, source, shortTitle, sourceUrl, publicActUrl.
  • references/laws/{lawId}/index.json{lawId, format, articles, sections}. Each section entry has sectionId, citation, title, path, anchor, article, sourceUrl, publicActUrl, rawPath, docId, and textLength.
  • references/laws/{lawId}/sections.html — all section text for that Act in one HTML file, each section wrapped in <article id="section-...">.
  • references/rules/ILSCR/index.json — Illinois Supreme Court Rules parsed from the official compiled PDF. Each rule entry has ruleId, citation, title, path, anchor, article, pdfPage, sourceUrl, and textLength.
  • references/rules/ILSCR/sections.html — all Supreme Court Rule text, each rule wrapped in <article id="rule-...">. Rule sourceUrl values include #page=N PDF fragments for page-specific links.

The corpus is built from the Illinois General Assembly FTP HTML snapshot. It was updated on 2025-11-21 with Public Acts through 104-433. The source states that the printed copy maintained by the Secretary of State is official; this corpus is not an official legal source.

Files

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.

Changes

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.
