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

Hiring 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.

Hiring Review

Purpose

Produce a structured, attorney-ready review of an employment offer letter and any accompanying restrictive-covenant exhibits. The skill verifies that the proposed terms are internally consistent, flags classification and statutory issues tied to the candidate's actual work jurisdiction, and surfaces enforceability questions on every restrictive covenant — without asserting jurisdiction-specific legal rules. The output is a draft hiring review memo with a verdict. This is draft legal work product for attorney review — not legal advice.

Use When

  • An employer, HR team, or counsel asks for a first-pass review of an offer letter before it is sent to a candidate.
  • A candidate or their counsel asks for a structured review of an offer they have received.
  • A user asks to "check this offer," "is this offer letter okay to use," or "flag anything I should look at before signing."
  • The offer includes restrictive-covenant exhibits (non-compete, non-solicitation, IP assignment, confidentiality) and the team wants an issues list organized by covenant type.
  • Counsel needs a jurisdiction and classification flag-list to begin their own analysis.

Required Inputs

  • The full offer letter text: uploaded or pasted. Do not review from a summary or description — the actual document text is required.
  • Candidate's actual work location: the physical location where the candidate will perform work — a specific city and state/province/country, or a confirmed remote home location. This is not the company headquarters unless they are the same. If unknown, stop and request it; the work jurisdiction determines which statutory requirements apply.
  • Role title and proposed compensation: the title as stated in the offer and the base salary or wage rate as stated.
  • Proposed exempt or non-exempt classification (where the employer has indicated one, or where the offer structure implies one): identify the stated or implied classification from the offer text.

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.
