Claude for Legal
Use this skill when the user asks for legal workflow help: contract review, legal triage, policy/regulatory analysis, legal research planning, compliance checklists, litigation support, legal ops trackers, law-student practice, or clinic-style intake/drafting.
Source basis: Anthropic claude-for-legal at anthropics/claude-for-legal commit 9cecd91b0f26f732d18315afc3c9bb5ff99e0fbb, Apache-2.0. This OMK skill is a compact adaptation, not a vendored copy of upstream prompts.
Non-negotiables
- Treat outputs as AI-assisted drafts for qualified attorney review, not legal advice or legal conclusions.
- Do not file, send, sign, threaten, accept, reject, waive rights, or communicate externally without an explicit user gate and attorney-review note.
- Identify jurisdiction, governing law, audience, role of the user, deadline, and source set. If unknown and material, ask; if proceeding, state assumptions.
- For current law, citations, statutes, regulations, court rules, agency guidance, or case law, verify with authoritative/current sources before relying. If not verified, label citations and conclusions as needing verification.
- Never invent citations, docket facts, quotes, party facts, deadlines, or regulatory text.
- Preserve privilege/confidentiality boundaries; avoid putting sensitive facts into external tools unless user has configured and approved them.
- If user is not a lawyer, structure output as an attorney-facing brief with plain-English risk explanations and clear questions for counsel.
Core workflow
- Classify lane: choose practice area and workflow. Load
references/workflow-catalog.md when mapping is not obvious.
- Intake: collect only missing material facts: role, jurisdiction, document/source corpus, transaction/matter context, risk appetite, deadline, intended audience, and requested output.
- Source preflight: record what sources were actually checked. Prefer official/primary sources; use legal research connectors/MCPs only if configured. Otherwise browse authoritative sources or mark
[verify].
- Analyze conservatively: separate facts, assumptions, legal issues, risk level, source-backed points, open questions, and attorney decisions.
- Gate consequential action: give draft language/checklist/memo, then list what must be reviewed before use.
