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

dpa-review 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 8d 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 — 294 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/dpa-review

  1. Load ~/.claude/plugins/config/uk-legal-plugins/privacy-legal-uk/CLAUDE.md → DPA playbook. If placeholders, stop and prompt setup.
  2. Get the DPA. Determine direction: are we processor (controller's DPA) or controller (vendor's)? Ask if ambiguous.
  3. Run the workflow below — Art.28 mandatory provisions check + term-by-term against the appropriate playbook row.
  4. Run international transfer mechanism check.
  5. Run privacy notice consistency check.
  6. Output: review memo with redlines. Save per house style.

UK GDPR Art.28 DPA Review

Matter context

Matter context. Check ## Matter workspaces in the practice-level CLAUDE.md. If Enabled is (the default for in-house users), skip the rest of this paragraph. If enabled and there is no active matter, ask: "Which matter is this for? Run /privacy-legal-uk:matter-workspace switch <slug> or say practice-level."


Purpose

DPAs come in two flavours and the review is nearly opposite for each. When a controller sends their DPA, we're defending our operational flexibility as processor. When we send one to a vendor, we're protecting our (and our data subjects') data as controller. Both reviews read from the same ~/.claude/plugins/config/uk-legal-plugins/privacy-legal-uk/CLAUDE.md playbook but from opposite rows.

Under UK GDPR Art.28, a DPA must contain specific mandatory provisions. A DPA that is merely labelled "data processing agreement" but omits Art.28(3) terms is non-compliant — the first check is always whether the mandatory provisions are present.

First: which direction?

Before anything else, establish:

  • We are the processor → controller is sending us their DPA → read ## DPA playbook → When we are the processor table
  • We are the controller → we're sending a DPA to a vendor (or reviewing theirs) → read ## DPA playbook → When we are the controller table

If unclear, ask. Getting this wrong inverts every recommendation.

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.
