What it does
The repository holds practice-area plugins: commercial contracts, privacy, product counsel, corporate deals, employment, regulatory, AI governance, IP, litigation, legal clinics and law students. Each plugin starts with a cold-start interview that learns your playbook and seed documents and writes a practice profile every skill reads. Named agents then handle specific jobs: NDA and vendor agreement review, DSAR responses, termination review, trademark clearance, case chronologies, deposition prep and deadline tracking. Output is framed as drafts for attorney review, with source attribution and explicit gates before anything is sent.
Who it is for. For in-house and firm lawyers, legal clinics and law students working with US and EU law.
Good fit when
- You need to review a contract against your playbook and brief the business
- You need to track renewal, leave or IP registration deadlines
- You need to classify an AI system under the EU AI Act or draft a privacy impact assessment
Not a fit when
- The work is under a jurisdiction the skills are not built for
- You need a final legal position without attorney review
Example request
Review this NDA against our playbook and flag clauses for escalationLimitations
Skills are built around US and EU law and US legal practice. All output is a draft, not legal advice. The cold-start interview takes 10-20 minutes per plugin. Without a connected legal research tool citations are unverified, and many connectors need paid accounts.
How to disable. Remove the plugin via /plugin; the practice profile lives in ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/.
FAQ
Why is the output generic?
Most likely the cold-start interview was skipped; without a practice profile the skills do not know your playbook.
Can I run it outside Claude Code?
Yes, install the plugins in Claude Cowork or deploy them via the Claude Managed Agents API using the cookbooks.

README in short
The README stresses that all output is a draft for attorney review and does not reflect Anthropic's legal positions. It covers practice-area plugins, managed-agent cookbooks for scheduled work, MCP connectors to Slack, Google Drive, DocuSign, CourtListener and others, plus a table of named agents with commands. Install via Cowork or the Claude Code marketplace, then run the cold-start interview and connect a legal research tool.
