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

Zoning and Use Restriction Issue Spotter 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 8d 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.

Zoning and Use Restriction Issue Spotter

Purpose

Read the materials a user provides about a property and its intended use, and surface the zoning, permitted-use, recorded-restriction, and use-clause concerns those materials raise. The result is a structured issue-spotting list in which every concern traces to a specific provided source, paired with a list of questions to route to local counsel or a zoning consultant.

This skill produces draft work product for attorney review only. It is not legal advice. It identifies questions worth asking; it does not answer whether a use is permitted.

Use When

  • A user asks to "spot the zoning issues," "flag use-restriction concerns," or "tell me what to ask local counsel about" for a property.
  • A transaction or leasing team needs an early read on whether an intended use raises zoning, covenant, or use-clause questions.
  • Provided diligence materials — zoning reports, CC&Rs, recorded restrictions, a lease use clause, permits, or certificates — need to be screened for concerns before counsel is engaged.
  • An issue-spotting list is needed as an input to a broader diligence review.

Required Inputs

  • The intended use and operations — what the property will be used for, in enough detail to issue-spot (for example use category, hours, parking demand, signage, outdoor activity, occupancy).
  • The jurisdiction — the municipality or county whose zoning would govern. Do not assume one.
  • The property type — for example office, retail, industrial, warehouse, multifamily, or mixed-use.
  • The provided materials — the zoning materials, recorded restrictions, CC&Rs, lease use clause, permits, and certificates the user has. If a material is referenced but not provided, note it as missing.

If the intended use, the jurisdiction, the property type, or the materials to review are not provided, stop and request them. Do not issue-spot from a description alone, and do not proceed without knowing the jurisdiction.
