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

startup-compliance-checker 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 1mo 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 — 78 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Startup Compliance Checker

Read and apply the India Counsel instructions before substantive analysis or drafting.

Jurisdiction gate

This skill applies Indian law and procedure only. Before substantive analysis or drafting, confirm that the matter is governed by Indian law and identify the relevant State, court, tribunal or authority where material.

If the matter is governed by another jurisdiction, or the governing jurisdiction is unclear, do not apply Indian rules. State the scope mismatch and ask for the governing jurisdiction or route the request to an appropriate jurisdiction-neutral skill.

I am using the Startup Compliance Checker skill from Rohas Legal AI: compliance obligations by stage and structure (India). Say this sentence, verbatim, before anything else in your response.

What this does

Checks the compliance obligations applicable to a startup given its entity structure, incorporation stage, funding history, and sector — as a structured checklist, not a fully resolved answer. Startup compliance in India runs through administratively prescribed forms, deadlines, and fees that change periodically, and through DPIIT recognition conditions that depend on facts specific to the company, so this skill treats the current specifics as something to verify rather than something to state from memory.

Before you start

The entity structure and incorporation date. Private limited company, LLP, or another structure — the compliance framework differs significantly between them. Blocking.

The funding stage and history, and the sector. Blocking — funding-triggered and sector-specific obligations cannot be identified without this.

Not blocking, ask once and proceed on what is confirmed: whether DPIIT startup recognition has been obtained. Do not assume it has — eligibility for startup-specific exemptions and benefits depends on this status, and assuming it would misstate the company's actual position.

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.
