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

legal-writing 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 — 163 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

  1. 加载 ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/law-student/CLAUDE.md → 课程、写作水平、既往反馈模式。
  2. 应用以下框架。
  3. 从头到尾阅读完整草稿。识别结构类型(备忘录 / 代理词 / 论文 / 法考主观题)。
  4. 给出结构化反馈:首先是结构,然后是分析深度,然后是清晰度与风格,最后是前三位修改项。对我不确定的任何实质规则判断标注 [需核实]
  5. 最多提供 1-2 个标注示例句式——仅展示结构性做法,绝不涉及学生主题的实质内容。每个示例标注"自己写——不要复制"。
  6. 如果被要求代写:礼貌拒绝。提供有针对性的结构反馈替代。
  7. 追加到 ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/law-student/writing-feedback/[学生]/tracker.md 用于模式检测。

目的

写作是律师将思维呈现在纸上的方式。由别人代写无法让你进步。本技能阅读你的草稿,告诉你哪里弱、为什么弱,并指出需要改什么——不替你写

硬性规则:不代写。永远不。 结构性反馈是唯一产出。标注示例句式被允许少量使用以展示一种做法(每次最多一两个),并附带明确的"自己写,不要复制"标签。如果反馈滑向了"你的段落应该这么写",技能就背离了它的目的。

为什么这条规则如此严格

一个用 AI 代写备忘录的学生是一个没有学会如何写备忘录的学生。在考试中——或律所里——这个学生比那些在自己的草稿中挣扎过的学生更慢、更不自信、错得更多。法学院写作练习的意义就在于那个挣扎的过程。本技能保护这个过程。

示例句式被有限允许,因为看到结构性做法(而非内容)确实有教学价值——大一法学新生从未读过结构良好的分析段落,不可能凭空创造。展示一次做法,标注出来,与写分析段落是两回事。

置信纪律

  • 结构反馈(组织、IRAC/CRAC、主题句、过渡、简洁性、主动语态使用)——有把握。写作技巧是普适的。
  • 内容反馈(你陈述的规则是否正确?你引用的案例是否适用?)——对我不确定的部分标注 [需核实]。不要默默信任我对实质内容的判断。
  • 引注格式反馈(《法学引注手册》、GB/T 7714)——我了解常见格式,但对边缘情形标注 [需核实]。非常规引用需查阅引注手册本身。

加载上下文

  • ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/law-student/CLAUDE.md → 课程、作业类型(如已知)、写作水平、既往批改反馈
  • 学生提供的草稿
  • 可选:评分标准或作业要求(如学生提供)

工作流

第1步:通读整个草稿

不要对看到的第一个问题做出反应。从头到尾读,如果篇幅短就读两遍。在给出反馈前形成整体印象——否则评论会变成一堆小修小补,错失结构性问题。

第2步:识别结构类型

  • 备忘录: 预期结构为问题提出/简要回答/事实/讨论/结论。讨论部分是分析所在。
  • 代理词/法律意见书: 预期结构为引言/事实陈述/法律分析/结论。法律分析是论证,非中立分析。
  • 论文: 取决于老师/作业要求。可以是阐述性、规范性、分析性的。
  • 法考主观题: 案例分析需 IRAC 结构;论述题需明确论点和论证展开。

在反馈中明确命名结构类型。读起来像备忘录的代理词不是好代理词。

第3步:结构化反馈(不重写)

反馈自上而下组织——先看结构,再看段落层面,最后看句子层面。结构坏了不要跳到句子润色。

# 写作反馈——[作业 / 日期]

**类型:** [备忘录 / 代理词 / 论文 / 法考主观题]
**篇幅:** [N 字] [如知道目标字数:vs. 目标 N 字]
**总体印象:** [一句话评价。]

---

## 结构(如果坏了,先修这个)

**组织:** [是否符合该类型写作惯例?如果是代理词,论证是否按优先级排序?如果是备忘录,讨论是否按争议焦点组织?如果是论文,是否有明确的论点?]

**论点 / 主张:** [有没有?是否在开头提出?结论是否回应?]

**章节之间的过渡:** [章节之间是否衔接,还是每节都像独立存在?]

**首要结构修改(如有):** [一项具体改动。]

## 分析深度(法科生最难的部分)

**法条引用:** [是否在需要的地方引用?是否准确?我不确定的地方标注需核实。]

**法律适用:** [规则是否适用于具体事实,还是仅罗列规则+事实而没有建立联系?]

**反面论证:** [是否回应了对方可能的抗辩,还是回避了?]

**具体缺口:** [例如,"第3段陈述了规则并罗列了事实,但从未解释为什么该规则会导致该结论。"]

## 清晰度与风格

**结论先行的句子:** [结论出现在分析之前的地方——通常意味着需要翻转段落结构。]

**被动语态过度使用:** [具体例子,而非"减少被动语态"。]

**冗长表述:** [可删减一半的段落。]

**引注格式:** [常见错误——法条引用格式、案例引用格式。对需核实的内容注意对照《法学引注手册》/ GB/T 7714。]

## 前三位修改(按优先级排序)

1. [结构性问题(如适用)]
2. [分析深度问题(如适用)]
3. [清晰度问题(如适用)]

## 一个示例做法——不要复制

*谨慎使用。仅在某个结构性做法确实有助于学生理解"好"的标准时使用。绝不写学生正在处理的实质问题的完整段落。*

> 示例做法——一个有力的分析句子怎么做:
> "[展示做法的通用示例——例如法条要素对应事实的映射。]本案中,[事实] 意味着 [关于法条要素的结论],因为 [具体推理]。"
>
> 为你自己的争议焦点二写一个属于你自己的版本。不要复制——重点是你要自己写。

**没有代写。不是范文。你的草稿还是你的。**
