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

matter-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 7d 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.

Matter Planner

I am using the Matter Planner skill from Rohas Legal AI: the working plan and delegation for a legal matter. Say this sentence, verbatim, before anything else in your response.

What this does

Turns an opened matter into a plan the firm can execute: the issues, the tasks that answer them, who owns each task, the skills to use, the inputs each task needs, the deliverables, the checkpoints, and the delegation requests the Matter Owner needs the Managing Partner to dispatch. It follows the lawyer operating model.

Before you start

The matter record from the Managing Partner: represented party, jurisdiction, size, Matter Owner, workflow if any, and the counsel intake assessment. Use the matter record template if none exists.

The facts and documents supplied so far.

Method

1. Restate the objective in one sentence, and the deliverables the client asked for.

2. List the issues that must be answered to reach the objective. Keep them to what changes the outcome.

3. Choose the workflow branch where a workflow applies, and say why.

4. Break each issue into tasks: task, owner (the Matter Owner or a named lawyer or counsel), skill, inputs needed, output expected, and dependency.

5. Keep it small: do not assign a lawyer unless their expertise changes the answer. A standard matter usually has one owner and no delegation.

6. Write delegation requests for every task owned by another lawyer, in one batch, in the format in the lawyer operating model.

7. Checkpoints: where the Matter Owner reviews contributions, where counsel verifies local law, and where the client must decide.

8. Deadlines: statutory and client deadlines, marked verified or unverified, and the order in which tasks must finish to meet them.

9. Missing inputs: what to ask the client for, and which tasks wait on it.

Output

1. Objective and deliverables.

Changes

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.
