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

Distribution Restraints 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 12d 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.

Distribution Restraints Review

Purpose

Review distribution, dealer, franchise, reseller, and marketplace arrangements for vertical-restraint exposure — RPM and MAP programs, territory and customer restrictions, online-sales and marketplace limits, dual pricing, selective-distribution criteria, exclusivity, and tying — and organize a restraint inventory with per-jurisdiction character flags, ancillarity and rationale notes, and separate callouts for active-enforcement areas such as online-sales bans and dual pricing. The deliverable is draft legal work product for attorney review: restraint character (hardcore vs. rule-of-reason vs. mixed) is recorded as a question for counsel per jurisdiction, and the skill never concludes enforceability, legality, or market power.

Use When

  • Sales or channel teams propose a MAP policy, a minimum-price program, or consequences for discounting dealers, and counsel needs it screened before rollout.
  • A distribution or dealer agreement restricts online sales, bans specified marketplaces, or applies different wholesale prices to online vs. offline volume.
  • A supplier wants to assign exclusive territories or customer classes to distributors, or to tighten selective-distribution criteria that may exclude online-only or discount dealers.
  • A dealer complaint, termination dispute, or threat letter puts an existing restraint program under scrutiny.
  • The company sells direct and through dealers in the same market, and the dual-distribution information flows and channel protections need review.
  • An existing distribution program is expanding into new jurisdictions where the same restraints may be treated differently.

Required Inputs

  • Jurisdiction(s) of competitive effect — every country and, where relevant, state/province where the distribution arrangement operates or has effects, or [verify jurisdiction]. Note that distribution rules vary substantially across jurisdictions.
  • Distribution structure — direct sales, distributors, dealers, resellers, online marketplaces, agents, franchise, or hybrid. Mark unknowns unknown/not found/not provided/ambiguous.
  • Restraints in scope — MAP (minimum advertised price), RPM (resale price maintenance), territory restrictions, customer restrictions, online-sales restrictions, marketplace bans, dual pricing, selective-distribution criteria, tying or bundling, exclusivity (single- or multi-brand), requirements contracts, non-compete during/after, termination provisions.
  • Brand and channel context — sole supplier or one of many; branded vs. private-label; service-intensive vs. commodity; brand reputation considerations; channel-conflict facts.
  • Buyer-side context — buyer size, buyer overlap, buyer competitors, large-account carveouts, buyer-induced restraints.
  • Vertical market position — user-supplied supplier-side share, user-supplied buyer-side share. Never invented.
  • Business rationale — service quality, free-rider concerns, brand image, retailer investment incentives, anti-counterfeiting, safety, regulatory.
  • Documents and source anchors — distribution agreement(s), policies, MAP letters, marketplace policies, dealer manuals, communications.

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.
