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

DPA 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 11d 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.

DPA Review

Purpose

Produce a structured, attorney-ready review of a data processing agreement (DPA) or data processing addendum. A DPA governs the relationship between a controller and a processor (or between a processor and a sub-processor) when personal data is processed on behalf of another party. This skill assesses role designation, scope and instructions, security obligations, sub-processor terms, data subject rights assistance, breach notification, audit rights, cross-border transfer mechanisms, deletion and return obligations, and the liability and indemnity interplay with the main commercial agreement. It produces draft legal work product for attorney review — not legal advice.

Which privacy laws, frameworks, or regulations apply — and what they require — are attorney-verification items. This skill organizes the review; it does not assert what any law mandates.

Use When

  • A user asks to "review this DPA," "redline the data processing addendum," or "flag the risks in this data processing agreement."
  • The organization is being asked to sign a vendor DPA or is preparing its own DPA for a customer.
  • A DPA has been updated by the other party and the user needs to identify what changed and whether new risks arise.
  • A DPA is being negotiated and the user wants a structured issue list before the next round.
  • An internal team (legal ops, procurement, privacy) needs a first-pass risk summary before attorney review.
  • Due diligence on a transaction requires assessment of the target's data processing arrangements.

Required Inputs

  • The full DPA text (uploaded, pasted, or linked). If the document is not provided, stop and request it. Do not draft a hypothetical review.
  • The client's role: controller, processor, or sub-processor. If unclear from the document, flag as [CONFIRM: client role] and note that the risk assessment will differ materially depending on the answer.
  • The main commercial agreement (or a description of it), if available — needed to assess the liability and indemnity interplay. If not provided, note the gap and flag it as an attorney-verification item.
  • Optional: the applicable privacy framework(s) or regulation(s) the parties have identified (e.g., the DPA references GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, or another framework). Note these as stated in the document; do not independently assert which law applies.
  • Optional: any prior version of the DPA or a markup showing changes, if this is a revision review.
  • Optional: the practice group's practice-profiles/privacy.md if it has been populated and is loaded alongside this skill. If present, the skill uses its Standard Positions and Escalation Thresholds tables to benchmark the output and to gate escalation. If absent, the skill proceeds without practice-profile benchmarking and asks the user to supply standing positions inline if needed.
