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 | $0.00046 | $0.01127 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00023 | $0.00563 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00225 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00113 |
Grade A, and why
Output Format Compliance Check 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 104 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Output Format Compliance Check
Purpose
Check whether draft legal work product follows the requested format and includes required sections, labels, tables, and verification items. The skill can review memos, emails, demand letters, risk tables, contract review matrices, chronologies, checklists, client updates, and research summaries.
It identifies missing sections and produces a corrected skeleton if needed. It does not decide whether the legal substance is correct.
Use When
- A draft may not match the requested output format.
- A draft should follow an AgentCounsel skill's Output Format but appears incomplete.
- The user asks to check formatting, sections, table columns, chronology structure, checklist structure, or memo/email/demand-letter format.
- A platform pack or one-off prompt output needs a deterministic structure check before attorney review.
Required Inputs
- The draft output to check.
- The requested format, originating skill, template, or client formatting instructions.
- Any required sections, table columns, headings, labels, or checklist items.
If the requested format is unknown, infer the likely format from the draft type only as a provisional check and state the limitation.
Do Not Use When
- The task is substantive legal review, source validation, or citation checking.
- The user wants formatting to override legal safety labels or attorney-review checklists.
- The task requires finalizing or sending the draft.
Legal Safety Rules
- Produce draft legal work product for attorney review. This is not legal advice.
- Follow
core/output-format-rules.md. - Follow
core/source-and-citation-discipline.md; do not invent legal authority, citations, quotations, facts, or deadlines. - Do not remove draft labels, attorney-review warnings, placeholders, or verification checklists for style reasons.
- Do not fill missing substantive sections with invented analysis. Provide a skeleton and mark missing content.
- Preserve privilege and confidentiality labels.
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.
