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

brief 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 6d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

98% identical to brief — 9 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 214 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

If you see unfamiliar placeholders or need to check which tools are connected, see CONNECTORS.md (.forgecat/profiles/@forgecat/anthropics_knowledge-work-plugins_legal/CONNECTORS.md).

Generate contextual briefings for legal work. Supports three modes: daily brief, topic brief, and incident brief.

Important: This command assists with legal workflows but does not provide legal advice. Briefings should be reviewed by qualified legal professionals before being relied upon.

Invocation

/brief daily              # Morning brief of legal-relevant items
/brief topic [query]      # Research brief on a specific legal question

If no mode is specified, ask the user which type of brief they need.

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.
