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

Internal Investigation 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.

Internal Investigation

Purpose

Provide structured workflow support for an attorney-directed internal investigation. The skill helps track evidentiary coverage as documents and interview notes arrive, surface gaps between gathered evidence and the issues in scope, connect evidence to each issue, and draft a privileged investigation memorandum with audience-specific summaries. All output is draft legal work product for attorney review — not legal advice, not a disciplinary decision, and not a privilege guarantee.

Use When

  • An attorney is directing an internal investigation into employee misconduct, workplace complaints, financial irregularities, executive conduct, or whistleblower allegations and needs a structured framework to organize evidence and draft findings.
  • An attorney or HR professional needs to track evidentiary coverage across documents and interview notes and identify what has not yet been gathered.
  • A draft investigation memorandum needs to be assembled from gathered facts, organized by issue rather than by witness.
  • Audience-specific summaries (HR, leadership/board, outside counsel) need to be drafted from a completed investigation record.
  • The user needs a privileged, attorney-ready work product structure for an ongoing or completed investigation.

Required Inputs

  • Allegation summary: the nature of the conduct at issue, the individual(s) alleged to have engaged in it (respondent identifier), the individual(s) who reported it (complainant identifier, if applicable), and the relevant timeframe.
  • Investigation type: HR/workplace conduct, financial irregularity, executive misconduct, whistleblower retaliation, or other. If unclear, describe and flag.
  • Attorney-direction confirmation: whether a supervising attorney has formally directed the investigation for the purpose of obtaining legal advice. If not confirmed, see the privilege-formation gate in the Workflow.
  • Workforce and organizational context: whether the workforce is unionized, whether the employer is a public-sector entity, and any other structural facts bearing on applicable rules. If unknown, flag with [CONFIRM: workforce/organizational context].
  • Gathered materials: documents, communications, policies, and interview notes received to date. These may be provided incrementally as the investigation proceeds.
  • Prior summaries or memos: any investigation summary, prior draft memo, or interim report already prepared.

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.
