Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00055 | $0.02686 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00028 | $0.01343 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00537 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00269 |
Grade A, and why
Litigation Cold-Start Interview 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 — 180 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Litigation Cold-Start Interview
Purpose
Conduct a structured, staged interview with a litigation practice group — led by a supervising attorney or authorized designee — to gather the information required to populate practice-profiles/litigation.md. The skill walks through all eight profile fields in sequence, records every answer, and assembles a filled draft of the profile for the practice group's review and approval. It produces draft legal work product for attorney review — not legal advice and not a final configuration.
Use When
- A team is adopting AgentCounsel and needs to configure
practice-profiles/litigation.mdfor the first time. - A litigation practice group is being onboarded to the library and no current profile exists.
- The library is being stood up for the first time and the litigation area is included in scope.
- A practice group wishes to revisit or rebuild its profile from scratch rather than make incremental updates.
Required Inputs
- A knowledgeable person from the litigation practice group — a supervising attorney or an authorized designee — who can answer questions about the group's forums, conflicts process, hold triggers, settlement authority, and review requirements.
- Any existing litigation playbooks, hold-notice templates, settlement-authority matrices, or standard procedure documents the group already uses, so they can be referenced or cited in the profile.
Do Not Use When
- The group is actively working a live litigation matter. This skill configures the library; it does not support an open matter.
- A
practice-profiles/litigation.mdalready exists and is current. In that case this is a refresh, not a cold start — though the skill may still be used to rebuild the profile deliberately. - No authorized person is available to answer. Do not complete the interview with guessed or inferred answers; record all gaps as
[CONFIRM: ...]placeholders. - The purpose is to intake, triage, or work a specific dispute or proceeding (use the appropriate matter-level skill for that task).
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.
