dpa-review is a skill for Claude Code from anthropics/claude-for-legal. It costs 74 tokens per session (4,661 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A review of a Data Processing Agreement, or DPA, which is a contract governing how one organisation handles another organisation's personal data. It determines the parties' roles and checks the contract against the relevant review rules.

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

dpa-review 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 — 246 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/dpa-review

  1. Load ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/privacy-legal/CLAUDE.md → DPA playbook. If placeholders, stop and prompt setup.
  2. Get the DPA. Determine direction: are we processor (customer's DPA) or controller (vendor's)? Ask if ambiguous.
  3. Run the workflow below — term-by-term against the appropriate playbook row.
  4. Run privacy policy consistency check.
  5. Output: review memo with redlines. Save per house style.

DPA Review

Matter context

Matter context. Check ## Matter workspaces in the practice-level CLAUDE.md. If Enabled is ✗ (the default for in-house users), skip the rest of this paragraph — skills use practice-level context and the matter machinery is invisible. If enabled and there is no active matter, ask: "Which matter is this for? Run /privacy-legal:matter-workspace switch <slug> or say practice-level." Load the active matter's matter.md for matter-specific context and overrides. Write outputs to the matter folder at ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/privacy-legal/matters/<matter-slug>/. Never read another matter's files unless Cross-matter context is on.


Purpose

DPAs come in two flavors and the review is nearly opposite for each. When a customer sends their DPA, we're defending our operational flexibility. When we send one to a vendor, we're protecting our (and our customers') data. Both reviews read from the same ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/privacy-legal/CLAUDE.md playbook but from opposite rows.

First: which direction?

Before anything else, establish:

  • We are the processor → customer is sending us their DPA → read ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/privacy-legal/CLAUDE.md → "When we are the processor" table
  • We are the controller → we're sending a DPA to a vendor (or reviewing theirs) → read "When we are the controller" table

If unclear, ask. Getting this wrong inverts every recommendation.

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.
