Legal Review
Intro
Legal review in a processkit context is a pre-consultation
structure skill: it organizes what has been read, flags what
needs expert attention, and prepares the questions to bring to
counsel. It does not provide legal advice or interpret law. The
output of this skill is a structured review document that makes
a lawyer's time more efficient, not a substitute for their judgment.
Overview
Scope and limits
This skill does:
- Identify clauses and provisions that commonly create risk
- Summarize key terms for non-lawyers
- Flag questions that require legal advice
- Organize a review document for a legal consultation
- Identify missing standard provisions
This skill does NOT do:
- Provide legal advice
- Interpret law or jurisdiction-specific regulations
- Make compliance determinations
- Replace review by qualified counsel for contracts above a materiality threshold
For any contract being signed, for compliance questions affecting
users' data, or for any matter with significant financial or legal
exposure — qualified legal counsel must review. This skill reduces
the time that review takes; it does not replace it.
