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

SOW Review 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.

SOW Review

Purpose

Produce a structured, attorney-ready review of a statement of work (SOW) or work order (WO). This skill assesses: scope and deliverables clarity, acceptance criteria, timeline and milestones, pricing and payment triggers, assumptions and dependencies, change-order process, personnel and staffing obligations, IP and deliverable ownership, and — critically — whether the SOW is consistent with its governing master agreement (MSA) or whether it improperly overrides, conflicts with, or silently expands MSA terms.

SOW conflicts with the governing MSA are a distinct and commonly missed risk. This skill treats MSA-SOW consistency as a primary review obligation, not a secondary check.

This skill produces draft legal work product for attorney review only. It is not legal advice and does not constitute a final negotiating position.

Use When

  • A user asks to "review this SOW," "check this work order," "is this statement of work solid," or "does this conflict with our MSA."
  • A vendor or service provider has sent a SOW for signature and the user needs a structured first-pass review.
  • The user is preparing to negotiate or redline a SOW and needs to understand scope, payment, and IP risks before doing so.
  • An in-house team or project owner needs to confirm that a SOW is consistent with the governing MSA before execution.
  • A SOW has been executed and a dispute has arisen about scope, deliverables, or payment — the user needs a structured analysis of what the SOW says.
  • The user is reviewing a form SOW template for future use and needs a gap analysis.

Required Inputs

  • The full SOW text — uploaded or pasted. Do not review from a description or partial excerpt alone.
  • The governing MSA or master agreement — strongly preferred; if unavailable, flag this as a material gap and note that MSA-SOW consistency analysis cannot be performed. Do not assume MSA terms.
  • The client's role — which party is the client (e.g., customer/buyer, vendor/service provider)?
  • Business context — what services are being procured or provided, what is the approximate value, and what is the delivery timeline?
  • Optional: the practice group's practice-profiles/contracts.md if it has been populated and is loaded alongside this skill. If present, the skill uses its Standard Positions and Escalation Thresholds tables to benchmark the output and to gate escalation. If absent, the skill proceeds without practice-profile benchmarking and asks the user to supply standing positions inline if needed.

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.
