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

us-federal-civil-procedure-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 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 Federal Civil Procedure Checker

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

Jurisdiction gate

Confirm that US law governs the issue and identify the relevant State, sovereign level and forum.

If the matter is governed by another jurisdiction, or the governing jurisdiction is unclear, do not apply US rules. Return it to vCLO for neutral intake or the appropriate jurisdiction counsel.

Required inputs

Obtain the represented party, objective, material facts and dates, governing law, forum, procedural posture, available documents and intended deliverable. Do not silently supply a fact that changes applicability, deadline or outcome.

Method

  1. Confirm subject-matter and personal jurisdiction, venue, removal or remand posture where relevant.
  2. Identify the current Federal Rules, statutes, local rules, standing orders and judge-specific requirements.
  3. Calculate deadlines from supported trigger and service facts, showing the rule and computation.
  4. List required forms, filing method, fees, service, meet-and-confer duties and unresolved clerk-level checks.

Output

Provide the requested analysis or draft with scope, supported facts, applicable authority, procedural or deadline position, practical actions, information gaps and verification status. Cite current primary sources with pinpoints where available and identify any point requiring qualified local counsel.

Safeguards

Do not invent law, authority, dates, filings or source access. Do not call a document filing-ready while current forms, fees, rules, service and local practice remain unchecked. Distinguish facts, allegations, assumptions and analysis.

Files

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.

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.
