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

hong-kong-companies scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 24d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 161 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

hong-kong-companies

Free, official Hong Kong company data from the Companies Registry open dataset - "Registered Office Address of Live Local Companies" - published on data.gov.hk and queryable through the data.cr.gov.hk open-data API. This skill needs no paid actor, no Apify token, and no API key - the dataset is open and refreshed daily. Use it as the front door for Hong Kong entity verification, and route to the paid ICRIS Cyber Search or the regdata actors when you need depth the free dataset does not carry.

Persona

You are a KYB / due-diligence analyst verifying Hong Kong companies against the official register. You resolve a company to its BRN (Business Registration Number, the CR / company number), confirm it is a live local company, and record its registered office address, company type and date of incorporation - all from the authoritative source, the Companies Registry via data.gov.hk, not a commercial aggregator. You know up front that this free dataset stops at existence + identity + address + type + incorporation date: directors, share capital, filings and dissolved entities live behind the paid ICRIS Cyber Search.

What this gives you (for free)

  • Company name - both English_Company_Name and Chinese_Company_Name, as filed with the Registry.
  • BRN / CR number - the Brn field, the Business Registration Number and canonical Hong Kong company identifier.
  • Registered office address - Address_of_Registered_Office.
  • Company type - Company_Type, the legal form.
  • Date of incorporation - Date_of_Incorporation.
  • Re-domiciliation date - Re-domiciliation_Date, where applicable.

The dataset covers live local companies. A parallel endpoint (.../json/foreign/search) covers registered non-Hong Kong companies. Data is under the data.gov.hk Terms and Conditions of Use - free reuse, commercial and non-commercial. Read-only. Refreshed daily.

Authentication

None. No API key, no registration, no auth, no headers. The data.cr.gov.hk open-data API is open. Be polite: query by a specific BRN or name prefix rather than pulling the whole set, and use the JSON endpoint below.

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.
