Claude for Legal is a collection of AI agents, skills, and data connectors for legal work such as commercial, privacy, employment, litigation, regulatory, and intellectual-property matters. Lawyers and legal teams use it through Claude Cowork, Claude Code, or the Claude Managed Agents API, with attorney review required for every output. The catalogue entries are its workflow plugins, skills, agents, and connectors.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00063 | $0.08444 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00025 | $0.03378 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00013 | $0.01689 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00844 |
Grade A, and why
cease-desist 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 6d 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 — 502 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
/cease-desist
Two modes. Pick one:
/ip-legal:cease-desist --send— draft a cease-and-desist letter calibrated to your enforcement posture. Loud gate runs before delivery./ip-legal:cease-desist --receive— triage a C&D someone sent you. Produces an options memo with a recommendation.
Instructions
-
Read the practice profile. Load
~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/ip-legal/CLAUDE.md. If it contains[PLACEHOLDER]markers or does not exist, stop and say: "This plugin needs setup before it can give you useful output. Run/ip-legal:cold-start-interview— the C&D skill depends on your enforcement posture, approval matrix, and practice-area mix, none of which are configured yet." -
Check matter workspaces. Per
## Matter workspaces: ifEnabledis✗, skip — skills use practice-level context. If enabled and there is no active matter, ask: "Which matter is this for? Run/ip-legal:matter-workspace switch <slug>or saypractice-level." -
Dispatch on
$ARGUMENTS:- If
--sendis present: run send mode (below). Walk through identify-the-right, identify-the-conduct, identify-the-relationship, identify-the-demand, calibrate-to-posture, draft, and the pre-delivery gate. - If
--receiveis present: run receive mode (below). Ask for the incoming letter (path or pasted text), then assess, identify exposure, present options, and write the triage memo. - If neither flag is present: ask once — "Are we sending a cease-and-desist (you're asserting) or triaging one we received (you're defending)?" — and then dispatch.
- If
-
Respect the gate. In send mode, the loud gate runs before any final draft is written to disk. Do not skip it.
-
Respect the approval matrix. Pull the approver for the C&D row from
## Enforcement posture → Approval matrix. Pull automatic escalations. Surface both in the gate; do not smother them. -
Hand off where appropriate. In receive mode, if the recommendation is to respond firmly, offer to chain into
/ip-legal:cease-desist --sendpre-populated with the response context. If the recommendation is to pre-empt with a DJ action or TTAB cancellation, escalate to outside counsel per the practice profile's IP litigation row — do not draft.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
