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

legal-research-sources 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.

What it actually says

法律来源检索

开始前完整读取并遵守 ../legal-research/references/interaction-protocol.md,先解释当前步骤,结束时说明结果、作用和下一步,不向用户粘贴原始 JSON。

先读取 references/source-hierarchy.md,按法域选择来源层级。

流程

  1. 把问题拆成法条、案例、学术观点、事实数据和反方材料五类检索节点。
  2. 优先检索立法机关、法院、政府公报、官方数据库和论文原文;商业数据库只在用户已有权限时使用。需要通过MCP、CLI或结构化接口访问商业数据库时,先执行 legal-research-providers
  3. 每个来源核验标题、发布主体、日期、效力或裁判状态、稳定地址和精确位置。
  4. 用命令登记来源:
legal-research --workspace "{workspace}" source add \
  --type law --title "{标题}" --locator "{URL或本地路径}" \
  --jurisdiction "{法域}" --authority-level primary --date "YYYY-MM-DD" --verified
  1. 同时寻找相反裁判、修法历史、废止文件和对主张不利的文献。

搜索结果页、模型摘要、博客转述和无正文截图只能用于发现来源,不能直接标记 verified。无法核实的资料仍可登记,但必须保留待核验状态。

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.
