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

Employment Tax Worker Classification Intake 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.

Employment Tax Worker Classification Intake

Purpose

Intake a taxpayer's worker, engagement, and payroll facts into a disciplined, source-cited facts-to-verify table so qualified employment and tax counsel can evaluate worker classification and employment-tax treatment. This skill captures facts and themes; it makes no classification or withholding conclusion. It coordinates with, and does not replace, employment-law analysis (see skills/employment/worker-classification/SKILL.md). It produces draft legal work product for attorney review — not legal advice.

Use When

  • A worker or worker population's employment-tax facts must be organized before counsel evaluates classification.
  • A team needs engagement, payment, and document facts captured with sources and gaps flagged.
  • An employment-tax question must be coordinated between tax and employment counsel.

Required Inputs

  • Workers or worker groups and their roles, referenced without full personal identifiers.
  • Taxpayer/entity type, jurisdictions, and the user's role.
  • Tax period(s) of interest, or not provided.
  • Engagement facts: degree of control, supervision, who provides tools and equipment, hours, exclusivity, and work location.
  • Payment facts: payment method, benefits, reimbursements, and expense treatment.
  • Contracts, and Forms W-2 / 1099 if provided, with citations.
  • Payroll practices and any state or local payroll-tax facts the user reports.
  • Source documents with citations to sections, form lines, or pages.

If workers/roles, taxpayer/entity type, or jurisdictions are missing, record them as not provided and return the missing-information list first.

Do Not Use When

  • The request is to classify a worker as an employee or a contractor.
  • The request is to decide a withholding obligation, payroll-tax treatment, benefits eligibility, or employment-law status.
  • The request is to compute payroll tax, or for tax or employment-law advice.

Also out of scope (this skill does not): determine worker classification (employee vs. contractor); determine a withholding obligation, payroll-tax treatment, benefits eligibility, or employment-law status; compute payroll tax; or provide tax or employment-law advice.
