Use it to classify legal requests, capture dates and business context, identify required documents, suggest a practice area or workflow, and flag matters needing lawyer review or escalation.

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

Legal Intake Triage 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 8d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 144 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Purpose

Produce a structured, review-ready intake triage for an inbound business request to the legal team — the legal front door. The skill classifies the request against the library's practice areas, captures the requester and business context, records urgency and dates exactly as the requester stated them, identifies the matter's gates (jurisdiction, parties, documents in hand) or flags them unknown, surfaces conflict-check and confidentiality considerations as questions, and proposes a routing recommendation — which practice area, which AgentCounsel skill or workflow, and whether the request is self-serve, needs lawyer review, or needs escalation. The output is an intake record ready to paste into a matter or ticketing system.

This skill provides workflow discipline and structure. It produces draft work product for review. This is not legal advice. The skill recommends routing; a human on the legal team decides where the request goes and who handles it.

Use When

  • An inbound request reaches the legal team by email, ticket, intake form, or chat — "can legal look at this?", "we need a contract reviewed", "is this okay to send?", "who handles this?"
  • A legal ops or triage owner needs a consistent, structured first-pass record before a request is assigned.
  • A request's practice area, urgency, or right owner is unclear and a classification pass would help the team route it.
  • The team wants every inbound ask logged in the matter system with the same fields every time.
  • A request has bounced between owners and needs a clean intake record before anyone works it.

Required Inputs

  • The request as received: the full text of the email, ticket, form submission, or chat message — pasted or uploaded. Do not triage from a second-hand summary when the original is available.
  • Requester context: the requester's name, team or business unit, and role, to the extent the request or the user supplies them.
  • Urgency and dates as stated: whatever the requester said about timing — a requested turnaround, a launch date, a signature deadline, a "need by." These are captured exactly as stated; this skill never computes or validates a deadline.
  • Optional: attached or referenced documents — a contract, a marketing asset, a vendor form, a policy. Note which referenced documents are in hand and which are missing.
  • Optional: the team's routing conventions — an intake form, assignment rules, or matter-system fields, so the record matches what the team already uses.
