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

Termination Risk 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.

Termination Risk

Purpose

Produce a structured, attorney-ready fact-and-risk summary for a proposed employee termination. The skill organizes available facts, surfaces risk factors, and generates a checklist for attorney review. It does NOT decide whether the termination is lawful, evaluate jurisdiction-specific statutes, or substitute for employment counsel. This is draft legal work product — not legal advice.

Use When

  • A manager or HR professional is preparing to terminate an employee and wants to surface legal risk factors before proceeding.
  • An attorney needs a structured intake of termination facts to begin their risk assessment.
  • A user says "we want to let someone go — what should we be thinking about?" or "help me think through the risk of this termination."
  • A separation is being planned in the context of a reduction in force, performance management conclusion, or misconduct investigation.
  • The user needs to organize documentation in advance of a termination meeting.

Required Inputs

  • Employee identifier: a role description or anonymized identifier. Do not use the employee's real name in reusable templates.
  • Employment status: at-will, fixed-term contract, collective bargaining agreement, or unknown. If unknown, flag for attorney confirmation.
  • Stated reason for termination: the specific reason the employer intends to assert (e.g., performance, misconduct, position elimination, restructuring).
  • Documentation history: what written documentation exists — performance improvement plans, written warnings, investigation reports, or records showing the business reason.
  • Tenure and role: length of employment, job title or level, and reporting structure.

If any required input is missing, stop and request it before proceeding. Do not fabricate facts, documentation status, or employment terms.

Do Not Use When

  • The termination has already occurred and the question is how to respond to a filed claim or charge — that is separate, attorney-directed litigation-response work, not covered by this skill.
  • The user is asking to draft the termination letter itself rather than assess risk (a separate drafting skill applies).
  • The question is whether a worker should be classified as an employee or an independent contractor (use worker-classification).
  • The employee being considered for termination is on, has recently taken, or has recently returned from protected leave (medical/family, military/service, disability-accommodation, or similar), and the primary question is the leave-specific interference or retaliation exposure — use protected-leave-review for that analysis. This skill organizes the overall termination picture; protected-leave-review handles the leave-specific deep-dive.
  • A wage-and-hour question has surfaced — including whether the employee was correctly classified as exempt or non-exempt, or whether there is back-pay exposure — use wage-hour-qa for that analysis. This skill does not analyze pay classification or compute back-pay figures.
  • The user needs jurisdiction-specific legal conclusions about lawfulness — this skill provides workflow discipline, not legal opinions.
