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

tax-appeal-grounds-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.

Tax Appeal Grounds Drafter

I am using the Tax Appeal Grounds Drafter skill from Rohas Legal AI: grounds of appeal against an assessment or order (India). Say this sentence, verbatim, before anything else in your response.

What this does

Drafts the grounds of appeal against a tax assessment or order that has already been passed — the formal statement of why the order is wrong, ground by ground, for filing before the appellate authority. Each ground is tied to a specific part of the order being challenged, factual grounds are kept distinct from legal grounds, and any procedural defect capable of disposing of the whole order is raised prominently rather than buried among the merits grounds.

Before you start

The order being appealed. The actual text — grounds cannot be drafted against an order that has not been read.

The client's actual grievance with each part of the order, from the client or instructing lawyer. This skill structures and argues the grievance; it does not invent one.

The appellate forum and the specific appeal being filed. Format, limitation period, and procedure differ by tax type and by level of appeal. Ask; do not assume.

Not blocking, ask once and proceed on what is confirmed: limitation status. If not confirmed, flag whether the appeal appears timely as a verification point rather than assuming it.

Method

1. Read the whole order once before drafting a single ground. Understand the officer's or authority's complete reasoning first — grounds drafted issue by issue on a first pass routinely misstate what the order actually held, because a conclusion on one point is often built on reasoning stated under a different heading.

2. List every distinct issue, addition, or disallowance in the order that the client wants to challenge, before drafting any single ground.

3. For each issue, state the ground precisely — what the order held, and why it is wrong, tied to the specific part of the order rather than a generic assertion that could apply to any order of this type.

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.
