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

statute-lookup 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 — 102 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Queries Taiwan's National Regulation Database and returns full-text article data.

Audience

Legal researchers, attorneys, paralegals, in-house counsel, and law students working in or with the Taiwanese legal system. Assumes familiarity with the Taiwanese statute structure (法 / 法律 / 命令; 條 / 項 / 款 / 目). Not designed for end-consumers seeking legal advice.

Instructions

  1. Load practice profile. Read ~/.claude/plugins/config/taiwan-legal-plugin/taiwan-legal/CLAUDE.md for the user's preferred citation style and abolished-regulation handling. If the file does not exist, say: "Run /taiwan-legal:cold-start-interview first to set defaults — or shall I proceed with no defaults?"

  2. Scope check. Confirm the request is a lookup or research query, not an advice request (see "What this skill does NOT do" below).

  3. Identify intent.

    • Specific regulation by name (e.g., "民法") → resolve via get_pcode(law_name=...), then query_regulation(pcode=...).
    • Keyword search across all regulations → search_regulations(keyword=..., exclude_abolished=...).
    • Specific article (e.g., "民法 §184") → query_regulation(law_name=..., article=...).
  4. Execute the MCP tool call. Apply profile defaults when the user did not specify (e.g., exclude_abolished=true if set in the profile).

  5. Apply confidence bands (see below).

  6. Present results.

    • Search results: list regulation names with pcode, abolished status, and URL.
    • Article text: render verbatim with article number, body, and any subsection labels (項 / 款 / 目). Do not summarize without being asked.
  7. Cite faithfully. Every cited article must include 法規全名 + 第 X 條 + URL.

Worked example

Input (user):

民法 184 條 全文 + 引用

Plan: resolve 民法 → pcode B0000001, then query article 184.

Tool calls:

  1. get_pcode(law_name="民法")B0000001
  2. query_regulation(pcode="B0000001", article="184")

Expected output shape:

民法 第 184 條(侵權行為)
第一項:因故意或過失,不法侵害他人之權利者,負損害賠償責任。故意以背於善良風俗之方法,加損害於他人者亦同。
第二項:違反保護他人之法律,致生損害於他人者,負賠償責任。但能證明其行為無過失者,不在此限。

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.
