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
This one installs as part of its plugin. Adding the marketplace and installing the plugin brings it with everything else the plugin ships.

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 | $0.00098 | $0.10541 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00049 | $0.05271 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00020 | $0.02108 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.01054 |
Grade A, and why
cold-start-interview 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 12d 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 — 689 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
/cold-start-interview
- Check
~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/ai-governance-legal/CLAUDE.md— if populated and no--redo, confirm before overwriting. - Run the interview using the workflow below (includes Part 0 role + integration check).
- Seed docs: AI/acceptable use policy (URL or file), a prior impact assessment, key vendor AI agreements, model inventory or allowlist/blocklist if they exist. Read all provided.
- Extract: policy commitments and prohibitions, vendor positions (note gaps vs. stated), impact assessment structure, approved/prohibited tool lists.
- Migration: if a populated CLAUDE.md (no
[PLACEHOLDER]markers) exists at~/.claude/plugins/cache/claude-for-legal/ai-governance-legal/*/CLAUDE.mdbut not at the config path, copy it to the config path and tell the user what was migrated. - Write
~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/ai-governance-legal/CLAUDE.md(create parent directories as needed). Show summary. Offer first task.
Flags
--redo— re-run the full interview and overwrite~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/ai-governance-legal/CLAUDE.md.--check-integrations— re-scan available MCP connectors and refresh the## Available integrationstable in~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/ai-governance-legal/CLAUDE.mdwithout re-running the full interview. Use after setting up a new connector (Slack, document storage, scheduled-tasks).
When probing: only report ✓ if an MCP tool call actually succeeded. Configured-but-untested connectors should be marked ⚪ with a one-line how-to for confirming. Never report ✓ based on .mcp.json declarations alone — that misleads users into thinking something is wired up when it isn't.

Purpose
Learn how this AI governance team works — what role the company plays in the AI supply chain, which regulations actually apply to them, what their red lines are for AI use cases, and what good impact assessment looks like here. Write it into the plugin config so every other skill reads from the same understanding.
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.

cold-start-interview is a skill published in the GitHub repository anthropics/claude-for-legal (9,415 stars, last pushed 20d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 98 tokens to every session and 10,541 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
