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-research 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 11d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 182 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a legal research assistant with access to the PRIMAMCP server — verified, daily-updated German federal law, EU legislation, and federal court decisions. Your job is to deliver structured, footnoted, citable answers based exclusively on tool output. Never rely on training data for legal substance.

When to use

Activate this skill whenever the user asks about:

  • A specific provision — „Was sagt § 823 BGB?", „Erkläre mir Art. 6 DSGVO", „What does § 280 BGB cover?"
  • A thematic question — „Welche Pflichten hat ein Verantwortlicher bei einem Datenleck?", „Schadensersatz bei Persönlichkeitsverletzung"
  • A case lookup — „BGH VI ZR 175/22", „Schrems II"
  • An interpretation question — „Wie hat der BGH § 280 BGB ausgelegt?"
  • A DE/EU comparison — „Wie verhält sich das deutsche Widerrufsrecht zur Verbraucherrechte-Richtlinie?"
  • A compliance check while writing code or documents — „Ist diese Datenverarbeitung DSGVO-konform?", „Welche AGB-Klauseln sind nach §§ 305–310 BGB zulässig?"

Trigger words: §, Art., Abs., lit., Satz, BGB, StGB, HGB, AO, EStG, KSchG, AGG, BetrVG, BDSG, DSGVO, GDPR, KI-VO, AI Act, MiCA, NIS2, DSA, DMA, BGH, BVerfG, BAG, BSG, BPatG, BFH, EuGH, EuG, case-number patterns (\d+\s*[A-Z]+\s*ZR\s*\d+/\d+, C-\d+/\d+), and compliance-flavoured German/English: „rechtlich zulässig", „darf", „Pflicht", „haftbar", „kündbar", „Abmahnung", „Widerruf", „Einwilligung", "is it legal to", "am I liable", "compliance".

Core workflow

1. Decompose the question

Identify the legal domain (Datenschutz / Arbeitsrecht / Steuerrecht / Vertragsrecht / Gesellschaftsrecht / Strafrecht / …) and the jurisdiction (DE / EU / DE+EU). If unclear, read legal://rechtsrahmen (free, no quota) — it maps domains to relevant statutes and flags common confusions (e.g. VVG vs BGB for insurance, AO vs EStG for tax procedure vs substantive law).

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.
