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 | $0.00081 | $0.06024 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00032 | $0.02410 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00016 | $0.01205 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00602 |
Grade A, and why
fto-triage 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 — 538 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
/fto-triage
This is not a freedom-to-operate opinion. A formal FTO opinion requires a comprehensive search, full claim construction, and element-by-element infringement analysis by registered patent counsel. Patent infringement is strict liability; willful infringement triples damages. A "no obvious blocking patents" result from this skill means the triage didn't find one — it does not mean the product is clear.
Instructions
- Read
~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/ip-legal/CLAUDE.md. If it contains[PLACEHOLDER], stop and direct to/ip-legal:cold-start-interview. - Follow the workflow below.
- Run intake (product/process, technical detail, jurisdictions, known patents, timing).
- Run a preliminary patent search if a connector is available (Solve Intelligence Patents, or other patent-research MCP). Otherwise say so in the output and proceed with the patents the user has supplied.
- For the 2–5 most plausible patents, build a claim-chart first pass against each independent claim — element by element. Literal read first; flag doctrine-of-equivalents separately; flag indirect / divided infringement.
- List open questions a real FTO study would resolve (enforceability, prosecution history, IPR outcomes, license availability, enforcement history of the assignee).
- Write the triage memo to the matter folder or practice outputs folder. Apply the work-product header per role.
- End with recommended next steps, a willfulness note (knowledge of specific patents factors into willfulness if the company proceeds without further counsel review), and the non-lawyer gate if the role is non-lawyer.
This skill never concludes that a product is clear to launch. If uncertain, flag — patent counsel decides.
Examples
/ip-legal:fto-triage "an on-device speech recognition model for consumer wearables, US launch first"

THIS IS NOT A FREEDOM-TO-OPERATE OPINION
The loudest guardrail in the plugin. Say this at the top of every output. Do not drop it. Do not soften it. Do not let the reader skim past it.
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.

fto-triage is a skill published in the GitHub repository anthropics/claude-for-legal (9,544 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 81 tokens to every session and 6,024 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-23.
