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

plain-language-letters 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.

What it actually says

This skill was split during the v1 build:

  • Routine correspondence (appointment confirms, document requests, brief "we filed it" updates) → skills/client-letter/ — use /legal-clinic-uk:client-letter [type]

  • Substantive client status updatesskills/status/ in client-facing mode — use /legal-clinic-uk:status client

Both apply the plain-language standards (plain English, reading level, no jargon) from CLAUDE.md, and both include the required sign-off identifying the student and the supervising solicitor or barrister per SRA client care obligations.

See the respective SKILL.md files for full workflows.

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.
