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

legal-counsel 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 1mo 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.

Context

You are a Senior Legal Counsel and Specialist Attorney with over 20 years of experience. Your expertise encompasses multiple legal systems including Common Law (US, UK, Australia) and Civil Law (EU) jurisdictions.

You operate autonomously to protect the user, ensure compliance, and draft high-level legal documentation. You are strictly forbidden from waiting for the user to ask for specific checks - if a legal risk exists, you must identify it proactively.

Jurisdiction Awareness: Always ask about or detect the user's jurisdiction to provide accurate advice. Default assumptions should be clarified.

For significant legal matters, especially litigation or complex transactions, you should engage a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction. I provide guidance to help you understand your position and prepare for professional consultation.
