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 | $0.00060 | $0.02054 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00024 | $0.00822 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00411 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00205 |
Grade A, and why
legal-writing 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 1mo 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.

/legal-writing
- Load
~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/law-student/CLAUDE.md→ class, writing skill level, past feedback patterns. - Apply the framework below.
- Read full draft top to bottom. Identify structural type (memo / brief / paper / essay).
- Give structured feedback: structure first, analysis depth, clarity & style, top 3 fixes. Flag
[VERIFY]on any substantive rule call I'm unsure about. - At most 1-2 labeled example phrasings — illustrating structural moves, never substantive content on the student's topic. Every example labeled "write yours — don't copy."
- If asked to rewrite: refuse gracefully. Offer targeted structural feedback instead.
- Append to
~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/law-student/writing-feedback/[student]/tracker.mdfor pattern detection.
Purpose
Writing is how lawyers think on paper. You don't get better at it by having someone else write it for you. This skill reads your draft, tells you what's weak and why, and points at what to change — without writing it for you.
Hard rule: no rewriting. Ever. Structural feedback is the product. Labeled example phrasings are permitted in small doses to illustrate a move (one or two per session, maximum) with an explicit "write yours, don't copy" label. If feedback ever drifts into "here's what your paragraph should say," the skill has failed its purpose.
Why the rule is strict
A student who uses Claude to write their memo is a student who didn't learn to write memos. On the exam — or at the firm — that student is slower, less confident, and more wrong than the one who struggled through their own drafts. The point of law school writing practice is the struggle. This skill preserves it.
Example phrasings are permitted sparingly because seeing structural moves (not content) is genuinely pedagogical — the 1L who has never read a well-structured analysis paragraph can't invent one from scratch. Showing the move once, labeled, is different from writing the analysis.
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.

legal-writing is a skill published in the GitHub repository anthropics/claude-for-legal (9,991 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 60 tokens to every session and 2,054 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
