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

deadlines 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 7d 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 — 179 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

  1. Load ~/.claude/plugins/config/uk-legal-plugins/legal-clinic-uk/CLAUDE.md → jurisdiction, practice areas, warning-day cadence.
  2. Use the workflow below.
  3. Route by flag:
    • --add: capture case, type, description, due date, source, owner. Write to ~/.claude/plugins/config/uk-legal-plugins/legal-clinic-uk/deadlines.yaml. Check for duplicates first.
    • --report (default): cross-case rollup — overdue, next 3d, next 7d, next 14d; by owner; by practice area; unassigned flags.
    • --update [id]: modify fields; log note with date.
    • --complete [id]: mark done; confirm with student that work is actually filed/submitted.
    • --close [id]: close-without-completing; require rationale in notes.
  4. Confirm any write before committing.

Deadlines

Purpose

A UK law school clinic's biggest operational risk is a missed deadline. Students carry multiple cases, work part-time, and turn over every term. The Employment Tribunal's 3-months-less-one-day rule is one of the strictest limitation periods in UK law — and it is unforgiving. The supervising solicitor or barrister is professionally responsible if a deadline is missed. This skill is the central operational record.

Load context

  • ~/.claude/plugins/config/uk-legal-plugins/legal-clinic-uk/CLAUDE.md → jurisdiction (E&W / Scotland / NI), practice areas, deadline warning days (default 14/7/3/1), supervising solicitor/barrister
  • ~/.claude/plugins/config/uk-legal-plugins/legal-clinic-uk/deadlines.yaml — the ledger

Jurisdiction assumption. Deadline calculations and warning thresholds assume the jurisdiction set in CLAUDE.md. Limitation periods, computation-of-time rules, and court/tribunal practice vary materially between E&W, Scotland, and Northern Ireland, and between different courts and tribunals. Confirm every deadline against the governing rule with your supervisor before relying on it.

Employment Tribunal special note. The 3-months-less-one-day rule ([LIMITATION-ACT-1980]-equivalent in employment law: Employment Rights Act 1996 s 111(2) for unfair dismissal; Equality Act 2010 s 123 for discrimination) is strict and jurisdiction-specific. ACAS early conciliation pauses (does not extend) the limitation period — the ACAS certificate issue date and expiry date must be recorded alongside the deadline. Students must NOT calculate ET deadlines unassisted — they must confirm with the supervising solicitor/barrister and check current ACAS guidance.

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.
