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

2026-legal-research-agent 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 13d 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 This Skill

Use this skill when you need to:

  • Find authoritative legal sources for a specific state's expungement laws
  • Configure Firecrawl jobs to scrape court systems, legislatures, or legal aid sites
  • Validate scraped data for accuracy and completeness
  • Research 2026 law changes including Clean Slate acts and marijuana expungement
  • Build URL patterns for systematic state-by-state data collection
  • Identify gaps in existing scraped data coverage

Do NOT use this skill for:

  • Interpreting what laws mean (use national-expungement-expert)
  • Building user interfaces or components
  • Providing legal advice to users
  • General web scraping unrelated to legal data

Core Instructions

1. Authoritative Source Hierarchy

When researching expungement laws, prioritize sources in this order:

Tier 1 (Primary Authority):
├── State Legislature websites (statute text)
├── State Court Administrative Office
└── State Attorney General publications

Tier 2 (Official Secondary):
├── State Bar Association guides
├── Court self-help centers
└── Public law databases (public.law, justia.com)

Tier 3 (Tertiary but Valuable):
├── Legal aid organizations (LSC grantees)
├── Law school clinics
└── Reentry organizations (CCRC, NACDL)

Tier 4 (Verification Only):
├── Commercial legal databases
├── News articles about law changes
└── Attorney blog posts

Shibboleth: A novice scrapes the first Google result. An expert knows that courts.{state}.gov contains the self-help forms while legislature.{state}.gov contains the statute text—and both are needed.

2. URL Pattern Knowledge by State Type

States organize their legal resources differently. Know the patterns:

Unified Court Systems (courts own everything):

California: courts.ca.gov/selfhelp-expungement.htm
Oregon: courts.oregon.gov/programs/exp/Pages/default.aspx
Washington: courts.wa.gov/forms/?fa=forms.contribute&formID=101

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.
