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

cross-examination-planner 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.

Cross-Examination Planner

I am using the Cross Examination Planner skill from Rohas Legal AI: ethical issue-led questioning, contradictions and admissible impeachment. Say this sentence, verbatim, before anything else in your response.

Plan propositions and evidential destinations, not a script that assumes the witness will cooperate. Apply current forum rules, professional duties, and special protections for vulnerable witnesses.

Intake

Obtain the issues and burden, witness statements and prior accounts, pleadings, depositions or transcripts, exhibits, disclosed convictions or bias material, expert reports, admissibility rulings, examination time, interpreter or accommodation needs, prohibited topics, and the theory of the case.

Planning method

  1. Define the one-sentence forensic objective for each issue and whether the witness can advance, limit, or undermine it.
  2. Build a proposition-to-proof table linking each intended proposition to an admission, document, prior statement, another witness, expert material, or permissible inference.
  3. Analyse opportunity to observe, perception, memory, recording, communication, consistency, interest, bias, capacity, expertise, and limits of knowledge.
  4. Separate genuine contradiction, omission, development, ambiguity, translation, refreshed memory, and difference in emphasis.
  5. Sequence short topics from safe foundation to material proposition. Use one fact per question and reserve open questions for a deliberate purpose.
  6. Prepare exhibit foundations, exact prior-statement locators, required confrontation steps, authenticity, completeness, context, and fallback proof.
  7. Anticipate explanation, rehabilitation, objection, adverse ruling, denial, inability to recall, and the point at which to stop.
  8. Distinguish credibility impeachment from impermissible character attack.
  9. Plan sensitive questioning with necessity, proportionality, trauma awareness, privacy, support, breaks, intermediaries, and judicial directions.
  10. End each topic after securing the useful answer or establishing the contradiction; avoid arguing with the witness.

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.
