Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00037 | $0.02541 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00018 | $0.01270 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00508 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00254 |
Grade A, and why
Deposition Preparation 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 5d 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 — 136 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Deposition Preparation
Purpose
Produce a structured deposition outline for attorney review and use. The outline is a strategic map — not a script — that organizes topic blocks, document anchors, and a pivot-fact sequence around the case theory. It is draft legal work product for attorney review; it is not legal advice. The attorney drives the deposition. The skill never drafts a witness statement in the witness's own voice.
Use When
- Counsel needs to prepare for an upcoming deposition and wants a structured question outline organized around topic blocks.
- A user asks to "prep for a deposition," "draft a depo outline," or "organize the documents for the [witness] deposition."
- The case theory and witness role are clear enough to define a deposition goal.
- Preparing for an adverse, neutral, friendly, or organizational-representative witness.
Required Inputs
- Matter identification — matter name, matter number, or a brief description sufficient to identify the case.
- Case theory — one sentence stating the factual and legal proposition the deposing party is trying to establish or defend.
- Witness profile — the witness's name, role in the matter, why this witness is being deposed, and posture: adverse, friendly, neutral, or organizational representative (an entity's designated representative).
- Deposition rules of the forum — the procedural rules governing the deposition (duration limits, objection conventions, scope limitations). Treat any statement of forum rules as
[verify jurisdiction]until confirmed by the responsible attorney. - Documentary record — documents to be used in the deposition, provided in full or described with Bates range or a clear identifying description. At minimum, a list of the key documents must be provided.
- Prior testimony — prior deposition transcripts, sworn statements, or hearing testimony, if any (pasted or described). If none exists, state that explicitly.
If the matter identification, case theory, witness profile, or at least a summary of the documentary record is not provided, stop and request the missing information. Do not begin the outline. Do not fabricate any of these inputs.
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.
