demand-received is a skill for Claude Code from anthropics/claude-for-legal. It costs 72 tokens per session (3,095 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A first review of an incoming demand letter, which is a written legal claim or request for payment or action. It extracts key facts, checks existing matters, assesses the claim, and presents response choices.

In plain words
What is it for?
Triage of demand letters, checking related matters, recommending response options, and handing off to matter creation or response work.

Token cost

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

demand-received 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 3d 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 — 236 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/demand-received

  1. Read the incoming document from provided path.
  2. Load ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/litigation-legal/matters/_log.yaml for portfolio cross-check.
  3. Load ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/litigation-legal/CLAUDE.md → risk calibration, landscape, demand-letter practice.
  4. Follow the workflow and reference below.
  5. Extract fields; cross-check portfolio; assess merit; present options with recommendation.
  6. Write ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/litigation-legal/inbound/[slug]/triage.md. Copy or link incoming to ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/litigation-legal/inbound/[slug]/incoming.[ext].
  7. Hand off per user choice:
    • Create matter → matter-intake pre-populated
    • Respond with counter-demand → demand-intake pre-populated
    • Link to existing matter → update related_matters in log
    • Standalone → no further action

Demand Received

Purpose

Inbound demand letters are the bread and butter of an in-house litigation practice. A small fraction need escalation; most can be handled with a structured response or a holding letter. The failure mode is treating them all alike. This skill triages, cross-checks the portfolio, and produces options.

Load context

  • The incoming document (user provides path or drops it in-session)
  • ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/litigation-legal/matters/_log.yaml — scan for related matters (same counterparty, overlapping counterparties via entity relationships, or matter type + recent date)
  • ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/litigation-legal/CLAUDE.md → risk calibration (for merit assessment), landscape (is the sender a frequent adversary?), demand-letter practice (house tone and response defaults)

Workflow

Step 1: Read the demand

Extract from the incoming:

  • Sender — entity, signer, counsel (if signed by outside firm)
  • Recipient — which entity/person at our company
  • Delivery — certified, email, courier (matters for deadline calculation)
  • Date received vs. date signed
  • Demand type — payment, breach/cure, C&D, preservation, settlement, other
  • Specific asks — what they want, by when
  • Facts alleged — their version of what happened
  • Legal basis — statutes, contract provisions, theories they cite
  • Threats — what they say they'll do if we don't comply
  • Settlement-communication framing — research the settlement-communication protections applicable in the forum (FRE 408 in federal, the state equivalent otherwise). Note whether the demand is marked as a settlement communication, but remember: protection attaches from conduct and context, not merely from labeling. Capture both the label (if any) and a first-pass read of whether the substance is in fact a compromise discussion.

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.
