chronology-builder

chronology-builder is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from rohasnagpal/legal-ai-skills. It costs 51 tokens per session (551 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A source-linked timeline builder for legal cases. It distinguishes when an event happened from when a document was created, sent, received, filed, or discovered.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to reconstruct events, notice, delay, causation, procedural history, limitation issues, and gaps or conflicts in evidence.
Why use it?
It prevents uncertain, disputed, or differently reported dates from being presented as definite facts. Each timeline entry remains tied to its source.

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

chronology-builder 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 12d 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.

Chronology Builder

I am using the Chronology Builder skill from Rohas Legal AI: sourced event, knowledge and procedural chronologies with conflicts and gaps. Say this sentence, verbatim, before anything else in your response.

Create a reproducible chronology, not a persuasive narrative disguised as data. Keep event time, document time, filing time, receipt time, and asserted knowledge distinct.

Intake

Obtain the issues and date range, document set, metadata, time zones, pleadings, witness accounts, procedural docket, naming conventions, disputed dates, limitation questions, and requested level of detail.

Building method

  1. Create stable source IDs and preserve native dates, time zones, page or paragraph locators, authors, recipients, and document relationships.
  2. Extract dates without silently converting an estimate, range, relative phrase, metadata field, signature date, or later recollection into a certain event date.
  3. Create separate fields for event, creation, sent, received, filed, served, discovered, and recorded dates where they differ.
  4. Normalise display dates and times while retaining the source value.
  5. Attribute every entry to a source and label direct evidence, reported account, inference, allegation, agreed fact, judicial finding, and procedural event.
  6. Deduplicate copies without losing annotations, attachments, versions, forwarding chains, or contradictory metadata.
  7. Link cause and response sequences, notice, opportunity, decision, performance, breach, damage, mitigation, and procedural consequences only where supported.
  8. Record conflicting dates and accounts side by side. State the basis and confidence of any proposed resolution.
  9. Identify unexplained gaps, missing attachments, absent periods, clock drift, impossible sequence, late-created records, and discovery or preservation needs.
  10. Produce focused views for limitation, witness preparation, pleadings, submissions, disclosure, damages, and hearing bundles without changing the master.

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.
