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-matter-tracker 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 180 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

This skill scans a local Cowork workspace for files related to a specified client or legal matter, extracts dated events and key facts, and assembles a structured chronological timeline report — entirely from local files, with no external integrations required.

Input: Client or case name (required). Optional: folder path to narrow scan scope.

Output: Structured markdown timeline report (inline). Optionally saved to output/matter-timeline-[client]-YYYY-MM-DD.md on request.


Language Detection

Detect the user's language from their message:

  • If Russian (or contains Cyrillic): respond in Russian
  • If English (or other Latin-script language): respond in English
  • If ambiguous: default to English

Instructions

Step 1: Parse Input

  1. Extract the client or case name from the user's message.

    • Accepted forms: "case timeline for Acme Corp", "track Smith matter", "хронология по делу Иванов", "что было по клиенту Ромашка".
    • The name may be a company, person, project code, or case identifier.
  2. If no name is provided, return:

    • EN: "Please provide a client or case name. Example: 'Case timeline for Acme Corp'"
    • RU: "Укажите имя клиента или название дела. Пример: «хронология по делу Ромашка»" Stop — do not generate output.
  3. If the user provided a folder path to narrow the scan scope, note it. Otherwise scan the full workspace.


Step 2: Scan Workspace

  1. Search for files that match the client/case name using these criteria:

    • Filename match: filename contains any word from the name (case-insensitive).
    • Content match: file contains the name in a heading (#, ##, **Name**) or first 10 lines.
    • Accepted file types: .md, .txt.
    • Search folders: workspace root + notes/, clients/, cases/, input/, output/, context/.
  2. If a folder path was provided: scan only that folder (recursive).

  3. Count total files scanned and matching files found.

  4. If no matching files found, return:

    • EN: "No files found matching '[name]'. Try a broader term or check that the relevant files are in your workspace."
    • RU: "Файлов по запросу «[name]» не найдено. Попробуйте более широкий запрос или проверьте, что нужные файлы есть в воркспейсе." Stop — do not generate output.

What ships with it

4 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.
