check-act-legislation-l0cka

check-act-legislation-l0cka is a skill for Codex from ThomasMoreAI/legal-skills-open. It costs 108 tokens per session (832 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A legal-source checking workflow for verifying Australian Capital Territory Acts and regulations against the official ACT legislation register. It identifies the law, its status, and the republication covering a chosen date.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check whether ACT legislation is in force or repealed, find the version that applied on a date, or compare a citation or provision with the official text.
Why use it?
It avoids confusing a law's present status with the version that applied at an earlier time. It records the relevant republication and its effective date range.

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

check-act-legislation-l0cka 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 22d 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 — 85 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Check ACT Legislation

Use legislation.act.gov.au as the controlling source. Produce a provenance record, not a bare assertion that legislation is "current".

Read the shared point-in-time method before performing a check. It defines the official-source rules, identity resolution, point-in-time selection and fail-closed boundary shared by every State and Territory checker in this plugin.

Workflow

  1. Fix the scope.
    • Accept ACT Acts and regulations on the official register.
    • Record the exact title, provision and requested date. If no date is given, use today's Australia/Sydney date and state it explicitly.
    • Return OUTSIDE SCOPE for Bills, another jurisdiction, case treatment or a request for legal advice.
  2. Resolve identity.
    • Search legislation.act.gov.au and identify one official registered title and instrument type. Treat multiple plausible titles as ambiguous.
  3. Select the point-in-time version.
    • Select the official republication covering the requested date.
    • Record its republication number, effective date range, the title's present status and the exact URL.
    • Keep the title's present status separate from whether the selected republication operated on the requested date.
  4. Check commencement and currency.
    • Inspect commencement, amendment history, endnotes and currency information relevant to the provision.
    • Do not infer operation from registration alone or from a URL date.
  5. Report using the required result contract.

Result contract

Lead with one status:

  • VERIFIED — one official title and applicable version were identified with no unresolved qualification relevant to the request.
  • VERIFIED WITH QUALIFICATIONS — identity and version were established, but an identified commencement, currency or authorisation limitation matters.
  • NOT VERIFIED — official evidence is missing, inconsistent or insufficient.
  • OUTSIDE SCOPE — the request is outside this ACT metadata and text check.

What ships with it

2 files 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.
