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

ip-clause-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 9d 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 — 289 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/ip-clause-review

Reviews the IP clauses in an agreement against the practice profile in ~/.claude/plugins/config/uk-legal-plugins/ip-legal-uk/CLAUDE.md. Flags assignment gaps, ownership ambiguity, licence-scope issues, and IP warranty/indemnity problems. Produces a memo with per-clause findings, prioritised by risk, with suggested redline language where appropriate.

Instructions

  1. Load ~/.claude/plugins/config/uk-legal-plugins/ip-legal-uk/CLAUDE.md. If placeholders present, stop and prompt: "Run /ip-legal-uk:cold-start-interview first — I need to learn your practice profile before I can review IP clauses against it."

  2. Get the agreement: From file path, Drive link, or pasted text. If none provided, ask.

  3. Follow the workflow below. In particular:

    • Establish the agreement type and which side the company is on for IP.
    • Run the assignment gap check first if the agreement is an employment, consulting, SOW, or services contract.
    • Apply UK assignment formality rules — CDPA 1988 s.90 (copyright assignment must be in writing signed by or on behalf of the assignor), TMA 1994 s.24 (trade mark assignment must be in writing signed by or on behalf of the assignor), PA 1977 s.30 (patent assignment must be in writing signed by both parties unless made by personal representatives). These are not technicalities — an assignment that fails the formality requirement is ineffective and can wreck M&A diligence.
    • Check moral rights under CDPA 1988 ss.77–89 where relevant.
    • Produce per-clause findings prioritised by risk.
    • Check cross-clause consistency.
    • Note jurisdiction implications (moral rights, employed works, UK formalities, post-Brexit considerations).
  4. Output the memo per the template below — work-product header first, bottom line, assignment gap check, clauses by severity, consistency flags, jurisdiction note, approval routing.

  5. Respect the decision posture. When a clause could be read to allocate IP either way, flag for attorney review and surface the factors cutting both ways. Never silently decide a subjective allocation question.

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.
