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

case-brief 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 1mo 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 — 109 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/case-brief

  1. Load ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/law-student/CLAUDE.md → outline/brief preferences.
  2. Apply the workflow below.
  3. Brief in the student's format. If drill-me mode: ask the student to state the holding first.

Purpose

A case brief is a tool for remembering what a case does. This skill makes one in your format — the format you'll actually use in your outline.

Confidence discipline

Case briefs state holdings, rules, and reasoning. Getting them wrong turns your outline into a false map. The rule for this skill:

  • If you paste the case text: I extract holding/rule/reasoning from what's in front of me. Confident.
  • If you only give a case name: I brief from knowledge. Worth a lot less. I flag every line I'm not sure about with [UNCERTAIN: specific reason], and I strongly recommend you confirm against the actual case before putting the brief in your outline. If I don't know the case well enough, I say so.
  • If the case has famous-but-contested interpretations: I give the majority read and [VERIFY: check your casebook and professor's framing].

A brief built on my guess and your good faith is worse than no brief. Better to err toward "I'm not sure — read it yourself" than to invent.

Load context

~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/law-student/CLAUDE.md → outline/brief preferences (format, depth), learning style.

The "don't brief it for me" rule (hard rule)

A brief you didn't write is a brief you won't remember. Every mode of this skill defaults to scaffolding the student's brief-writing, not to writing the brief.

What this skill will do in every mode:

  • Ask the student what they already got from reading: the facts, the issue, the holding as they understand it.
  • Provide the blank template in their preferred format (headings for Facts, Issue, Holding, Reasoning, Rule, Notes).
  • Ask pointed follow-ups on whichever section is thin: "What were the key facts the court actually relied on?", "What's the narrow issue vs. the broader question?", "Why did the court reject the dissent's framing?"
  • If the student pastes the case text, extract verbatim the court's own language for holding and reasoning — that is not writing-for-them; that is pointing at what the case says.
  • Flag confused or wrong understandings: "You said the holding is X. The court's actual language is closer to Y. Which one is the rule you'll carry into your outline?"
