description	Turn a lawyer's bounded expertise, workflow, review standard, or legal judgment pattern into a safe, inspectable legal AI skill. Use when a user provides legal memos, comments, checklists, negotiation notes, review habits, compliance playbooks, or professional feedback and wants a reusable Lawve-style skill. Do not impersonate the lawyer or claim to reproduce a person; distill only authorized, source-bounded capability.

Law Expertise To Skill

Use this skill to convert legal professional know-how into a simple, safe skill package.

Inputs

Accept:

• Legal workflow notes, memos, comments, checklists, templates, negotiation positions, audit criteria, or review standards.
• A short description of the target legal task.
• User feedback about what the skill should or should not do.

Do not use private client material, confidential firm know-how, privileged communications, or personal traces unless the user confirms authority to use them.

Workflow

1. Define the legal capability: what the skill helps with, for whom, and under which legal system or practice area.
2. Define source boundaries: what materials were used, what was excluded, and whether the evidence is first-hand, public, generated, or user-described.
3. Extract only reusable capability:
   • issue-spotting criteria;
   • review sequence;
   • risk taxonomy;
   • drafting or negotiation heuristics;
   • escalation thresholds;
   • required disclaimers or source checks.
4. Separate capability from voice:
   • Capability is allowed.
   • Professional tone guidance is allowed.
   • Persona simulation or identity replacement is not allowed.
5. Add safety boundaries:
   • no legal advice beyond the skill scope;
   • no unsupported jurisdictional claims;
   • no hidden source inference;
   • no confidential-data reuse;
   • human lawyer review required for material decisions.
6. Produce a compact skill with:
   • clear trigger;
   • negative scope;
   • step-by-step method;
   • output format;
   • verification checklist.

Output

Return:

• What this skill does: short marketplace description.
• How to use: user-facing instructions.
• SKILL.md: portable skill text.
• Source boundaries: what evidence was used and what was not.
• Human review points: decisions that need a lawyer.

Refusal / Escalation

Refuse or request clarification when the user asks to:

• impersonate a real lawyer without consent;
• use private traces from another person without authority;
• hide source limitations;
• remove human-review requirements from high-stakes legal work;
• present the skill as the actual person or as guaranteed legal advice.
