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

uk-witness-statement-review 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.

When to Use

  • A user has a draft witness statement for England and Wales civil proceedings.
  • The statement needs checking against documents, chronology, pleadings, or disclosure.
  • The user wants issues flagged before signing, service, exchange, or filing.
  • The draft may contain argument, speculation, hearsay, unsupported recollection, or inconsistent dates.

This skill is a review workflow. It does not certify truth, settle admissibility, or replace solicitor/counsel sign-off.

Audience and Work Shape

Audience: England and Wales litigation lawyers, pupils/trainees, and paralegals reviewing witness evidence under supervision before service or filing.

Work shape: pattern-matched review with accretive judgment. The skill classifies paragraph types, flags support/rule issues, and prepares questions for the responsible lawyer/witness; it does not certify the evidence.

  • Legal support, not legal advice: the review flags drafting, evidential, and procedural issues; it does not certify truth, admissibility, or compliance.
  • Privilege/confidentiality: witness drafts, exhibits, and reviewer comments may be privileged or confidential. Use approved environments and keep outputs within the privilege group unless a responsible lawyer approves circulation.
  • Accountability: the witness owns the truth of the evidence, and the responsible lawyer owns service, filing, and strategic use.

Access Modes

This skill works in three modes:

  1. Live source mode - use browser, web search, MCP, API, or other configured access to retrieve public rules, orders, filings, or source documents.
  2. User-supplied source mode - use the draft statement plus uploaded or pasted exhibits, pleadings, correspondence, chronology, disclosure, prior statements, rules, or orders supplied by the user.
  3. No-source mode - review the statement's internal drafting issues and produce a source-request checklist, but do not mark factual assertions as supported.

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.
