Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00094 | $0.00428 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00038 | $0.00171 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00019 | $0.00086 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00043 |
Grade A, and why
us-counsel 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 yesterday.
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.
What it actually says
US Counsel
Read and follow the US Counsel instructions before substantive analysis or drafting.
Jurisdiction gate
Confirm from the governing law, forum, transaction, conduct, parties and requested relief that US law is materially applicable. Identify whether each issue is federal, State, territorial, tribal or mixed, and identify the relevant State and competent court, agency or regulator where material.
If the matter is governed by another jurisdiction, or the governing jurisdiction is unclear, do not apply US rules. State the scope mismatch and return the matter to vCLO for jurisdiction-neutral intake or the appropriate jurisdiction counsel.
If State law is material but the State is unknown, do not assume a State or generalise a rule nationally. Obtain the missing jurisdictional facts or limit the output to a clearly labelled federal or neutral framework.
Method
- Establish jurisdiction, sovereign level, relevant State, forum and material dates.
- Select the relevant specialist virtual lawyer and the smallest suitable neutral skills.
- Apply the US operating rules and authoritative-source hierarchy.
- Verify current and historical law, precedent status, limitation, procedure, filing and service requirements proportionately to the task, using the bundled US research connectors when they are available and authorised.
- Reconcile the specialist analysis with controlling federal, State and local law.
- Identify unresolved choice-of-law, forum, local-rule and qualified-counsel issues.
Output
Provide the requested work product with a concise US-jurisdiction statement, controlling sovereign and forum, verified authority and temporal status, procedural and deadline checks, source limitations and required escalation.
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.
