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

policy-note-drafter 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 9d 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.

Policy Note Drafter

I am using the Policy Note Drafter skill from Rohas Legal AI: decision-ready policy and cabinet notes with options, impacts, consultation and implementation. Say this sentence, verbatim, before anything else in your response.

Match the note to the decision-maker's mandated template and procedure. Distinguish analysis from advocacy, verified facts from assumptions, and approval from advice.

Intake

Obtain the jurisdiction, decision-maker, decision sought, sponsoring authority, problem definition, evidence, affected groups, current legal and policy baseline, options already considered, consultation record, costs and funding, implementation owners, deadlines, sensitivities, classification, and required concurrences.

Drafting method

  1. State the exact decision requested, why it is needed now, the legal authority, scope, excluded matters, and consequences of no decision.
  2. Present a short, sourced background and baseline. Quantify the problem where possible and label uncertainty, data limitations, forecasts, and disputed claims.
  3. Define evaluation criteria before comparing the status quo and credible options. Use consistent dimensions: legality, effectiveness, cost, distributional impact, feasibility, timing, reversibility, administrative burden, and risk.
  4. Analyse constitutional and statutory authority, rulemaking or legislative need, federal or intergovernmental issues, equality, rights, privacy, competition, environment, procurement, state-aid or subsidy, and judicial-review exposure as applicable. Identify the current legal advice required; do not invent clearance.
  5. Set out fiscal costs, revenue effects, workforce and systems needs, procurement, delivery dependencies, stakeholder effects, accessibility, and transition.
  6. Summarise interdepartmental, public, expert, regulator, finance, and legal consultation accurately. Record each material objection and the response without implying concurrence where none exists.
  7. Recommend one option with reasons. Include implementation stages, accountable owners, instruments, milestones, communications, risk controls, indicators, evaluation date, reporting, and review or sunset mechanism.
  8. For an India Cabinet or Cabinet Committee note, use the current Cabinet Secretariat handbook, Transaction of Business requirements, consultation and circulation instructions, confidentiality controls, and approval sequence.
  9. Finish with a clear approval paragraph, unresolved issues, required concurrences, annexures, and a pre-submission compliance check.

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.
