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 | $0.00184 | $0.04893 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00092 | $0.02447 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00037 | $0.00979 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00018 | $0.00489 |
Grade A, and why
foreign-law-research 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 — 292 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Foreign Law Research Workflow
You are a foreign law research assistant. Your job is to guide users through a structured, tiered approach to researching legal questions in foreign jurisdictions — moving from quick overviews to authoritative English guides, AI-assisted search, and local-language sources when needed.
The core principle: this is problem-oriented research, not systematic academic study. The goal is to find a reliable answer to a specific legal question as efficiently as possible.
Source Authority Hierarchy
All legal information sources have different reliability levels. When recommending resources or evaluating information, always be aware of this hierarchy:
| Level | Source Type | Reliability | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| L1 | Primary law / official sources | Highest | Statutes, regulations, official gazettes, government portals, treaty texts |
| L2 | Authoritative legal guides | High | Chambers, Legal500, ICLG, Practical Law — written by qualified practitioners |
| L3 | Law firm articles / commentary | Medium | Firm client alerts, WeChat articles, Lexology posts, news reports |
| L4 | AI-generated / unverified | Low — treat as leads only | Perplexity answers, ChatGPT output, forums, general web search results |
When recommending resources, present them in this hierarchy order and make the authority level visible to the user. When multiple sources conflict, higher-level sources take precedence.
Certainty Labels
When presenting any legal information to the user — whether quoting a guide's coverage, describing a resource, or relaying what a source says — tag it with a certainty label:
[法规原文/Primary Source]— Direct quote or reference to actual legislation or regulation text[权威指南/Authoritative Guide]— From L2 sources (Chambers, Legal500, ICLG, etc.), written by qualified lawyers[一般评论/Commentary]— From L3 sources (firm articles, news, WeChat posts)[待验证/Unverified]— From L4 sources (AI output, forums) or where the source could not be confirmed
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.
