policy-monitor

policy-monitor is a skill for Claude Code from anthropics/claude-for-legal. It costs 82 tokens per session (3,390 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An AI policy checker that compares your documented AI practices with your current internal policy. It can run a regular review or answer whether a proposed practice is covered.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review saved AI work, find policy drift, assess a proposed AI use, and draft wording for policy gaps.
Why use it?
Policies can become inaccurate as teams adopt new AI tools or workflows. This identifies missing or outdated commitments before they cause confusion or compliance problems.

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

policy-monitor 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 13d 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 — 355 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/policy-monitor

Sweep mode (no argument or --sweep):

  1. Read ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/ai-governance-legal/CLAUDE.md → outputs folder path, AI policy document, last sweep date.
  2. Use the framework below. Scan outputs folder for files since last sweep.
  3. For each output: extract approved practices → diff against current policy commitments and use case registry.
  4. Classify gaps: REQUIRED (policy misrepresents current practice) vs ADVISABLE (policy silent).
  5. For each gap: quote current policy, describe gap, draft suggested language.
  6. Flag any use cases in outputs not yet added to the ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/ai-governance-legal/CLAUDE.md registry.
  7. Present results to the human. Only after acknowledgment, update Last policy sweep and gaps_found in ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/ai-governance-legal/CLAUDE.md.

Direct query mode (with description argument):

  1. Read ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/ai-governance-legal/CLAUDE.md → current policy commitments, use case registry, actual policy document.
  2. Parse proposed practice. Diff against policy: use case coverage, automation level, affected parties, disclosure, vendor data use, oversight.
  3. Output: covered / missing / conflicting + suggested language for each gap + registry entry if needed + timing recommendation.

Recurring runs: Set up a recurring reminder in your own scheduler to run /ai-governance-legal:policy-monitor weekly. Scheduled execution requires a scheduled-tasks integration, which is not bundled with this plugin.

Purpose

AI policies drift from practice faster than almost any other policy document — the field moves quickly, use cases multiply, and each approved AIA or triage result represents a new commitment the policy may not have caught up with. An AIA approves a new AI use case with a human-oversight condition. A vendor AI agreement permits data processing the policy doesn't mention. A triage result marks a new category of deployment as conditional with a disclosure requirement. The policy sits there unchanged.

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.
