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

Rule Change Summary 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.

Rule Change Summary

Purpose

Produce a structured, attorney-ready summary of a regulatory rule change, proposed rule, interim final rule, or official guidance document, and identify its practical implications for a specific organization or practice area. The output captures what changed, who is affected, what new or modified obligations arise, and what implementation steps warrant attention — all grounded in the text actually provided.

This skill provides workflow discipline and output structure. It does not interpret regulations as legal advice or assert compliance conclusions.

Use When

  • A user says "summarize this new rule," "what does this guidance require," or "what changed from the old rule."
  • Counsel or a compliance team receives a final or proposed rule and needs a structured first-pass summary to brief leadership or begin gap analysis.
  • An organization needs to understand effective dates, compliance deadlines, and who within the organization is affected.
  • A user provides a Federal Register notice, agency guidance, proposed rule text, or similar official document and asks for its significance.
  • Preliminary scoping is needed before commissioning a full compliance gap review (see compliance-gap-matrix).

Required Inputs

  • The official document: the full text of the rule, proposed rule, guidance, or notice — uploaded or pasted. This is mandatory. If it is not provided, stop and request it before proceeding. Do not summarize rules from model background knowledge alone.
  • Organization description: a brief description of the organization's business, size, and the activities likely to be regulated, so the impact summary is relevant.
  • Prior rule or baseline (if available): the text or description of the prior rule, if the user wants a "what changed" comparison. If not provided, flag that the comparison is limited to what the document itself states about changes.
  • Jurisdiction and regulatory context: confirm which agency issued the document and in what jurisdiction (federal, state, foreign). Flag as [CONFIRM] if not evident from the document.

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.
