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 | $0.00035 | $0.02171 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00017 | $0.01086 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00434 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00217 |
Grade A, and why
Trademark Clearance Triage 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 — 132 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Trademark Clearance Triage
Purpose
Produce a structured preliminary triage of a proposed trademark — a brand name, product name, slogan, or logo — to identify obvious concerns and orient the client before engaging trademark counsel for a formal clearance search and opinion. This is draft legal work product for attorney review. It is NOT a clearance opinion, NOT a freedom-to-operate determination, and does NOT constitute a legal finding that any mark is available for use or registration.
Use When
- A user asks to "check if a name is available" or "see if we can trademark this."
- A user wants to know if a proposed brand name, product name, or slogan is likely to face trademark issues.
- A client is in early brand development and wants a structured starting point before commissioning a full clearance search.
- A user needs a triage summary to brief trademark counsel efficiently.
- A user asks what a formal trademark clearance process involves and what inputs counsel will need.
Required Inputs
- The proposed mark: exact name, slogan, or description of the logo/design element.
- Goods and/or services: a plain-language description of the products or services the mark will identify (e.g., "mobile app for personal finance," "organic coffee beans sold online").
- International Classification (Nice Classes): if the user knows the relevant class(es), capture them; if unknown, note that class identification is an attorney task and provide a general description only.
- Geographic markets: primary and secondary markets (e.g., United States, EU, Canada).
- Intended use: whether use has already begun (use-in-commerce) or is planned (intent-to-use), and approximate timing.
If the proposed mark text is not provided, stop and request it before proceeding. If goods/services or geographic market are not provided, flag them as unknown and note that the triage will be incomplete without them.
Do Not Use When
- The user needs a formal trademark clearance opinion or freedom-to-use determination — refer to trademark counsel.
- The user has received a cease-and-desist letter and needs to respond (use
cease-and-desist-response); responding to an opposition or cancellation proceeding is separate, attorney-directed work. - The document to review is a license agreement, co-existence agreement, or assignment — use
contract-risk-review. - The user needs a copyright analysis (use
dmca-takedownfor DMCA takedown matters) or a patent search — general copyright clearance and patent work are outside the scope of this triage.
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.
