policy-starter

policy-starter is a skill for Claude Code from Buildwise-Studios/claude-for-hk-law. It costs 88 tokens per session (3,691 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of policy-starter, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for drafting an organisation’s AI usage policy from published policies and guidance. The result is a draft for legal review, not a final adopted policy.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare or update an AI policy for a law firm or other practice, covering the sections, audience, deployment setting, sources, review points, and adoption steps.
Why use it?
It gives the drafting process a defined scope and source material while marking decisions and unanswered questions that lawyers still need to resolve.

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-starter 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 11d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

92% identical to policy-starter — 28 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 263 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/policy-starter

  1. Read ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-hk-law/ai-governance-legal/CLAUDE.md. If the practice profile is unpopulated, stop and direct to /ai-governance-legal:cold-start-interview.
  2. Use the framework below.
  3. Run the scope interview — which sections does the policy need to cover, who's the audience, what's the deployment context. Do not skip to drafting.
  4. Web search for the current published model policies and guidance relevant to the deployment context (ABA, state bars, ILTA, CLOC, NIST, peer-firm / peer-company policies, current state AI laws, EU AI Act, sector regulators as applicable).
  5. Draft the selected sections, sourced from the model policies, with [review] flags on every choice point and [review] open questions at the bottom of each section.
  6. Output with the draft header ("DRAFT FOR INTERNAL LEGAL REVIEW — NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION"), the sources block, the reviewer note, and the adoption checklist.
  7. Close with the next-steps decision tree.
/ai-governance-legal:policy-starter
/ai-governance-legal:policy-starter "we need an AI policy for our 30-lawyer firm"
/ai-governance-legal:policy-starter "update our existing policy for the 2026 state AI laws"

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 /ai-governance-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-hk-law/ai-governance-legal/matters/<matter-slug>/. Never read another matter's files unless Cross-matter context is on.


Purpose

A lot of firms and in-house teams don't have a written AI usage policy yet, or are running on a 2024-vintage one that doesn't mention the state AI laws, the EU AI Act implementing acts, the 2025 COPPA amendments, or what they actually ended up doing with Copilot and Claude for Work. This skill produces a draft policy to bring to the decision-maker — GC, managing partner, executive committee, board, head of IT, head of HR — not a finished policy to circulate.

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.
