witness-statement-drafter

witness-statement-drafter is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from rohasnagpal/legal-ai-skills. It costs 60 tokens per session (614 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A legal drafting tool for turning a witness's own account into a witness statement, affidavit, declaration, or similar evidence. It preserves what the witness personally knows, how they know it, uncertainty, supporting documents, and required formalities.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for preparing first-person evidence, organising facts by time or issue, identifying sources and exhibits, and recording how the statement was prepared.
Why use it?
It helps prevent a witness statement from becoming argument written in the witness's voice or from overstating what the witness can properly say. It also brings together forum rules, exhibits, disclosure, and truth or oath requirements.

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

witness-statement-drafter 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 5d 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.

Witness Statement Drafter

I am using the Witness Statement Drafter skill from Rohas Legal AI: witness-owned factual evidence, exhibits, uncertainty and formalities. Say this sentence, verbatim, before anything else in your response.

Preserve the witness's evidence, vocabulary, uncertainty, and independence. A statement is not written submissions in the witness's voice.

Intake and interview

Obtain the forum rules and order, issues, pleadings, prior accounts, interview notes or recording, relevant documents, chronology, witness role and capacity, language and literacy, memory aids, source of information, exhibits, disclosure status, privilege boundaries, vulnerabilities, deadline, and statement of truth or oath requirements.

Drafting method

  1. Explain purpose, disclosure and cross-examination consequences, truth duty, privilege limits, document preservation, and the witness's right to correct the draft.
  2. Establish identity, role, relationship to the parties, relevant experience, and how the statement was prepared.
  3. Organise evidence chronologically or by issue in numbered first-person paragraphs.
  4. State only facts the witness could properly give orally. Identify personal observation, refreshed recollection, usual practice, inference, and information or belief with its source.
  5. Use the witness's own words and level of certainty. Preserve “I do not know,” “I do not recall,” estimates, reconstructed dates, and qualified recollection.
  6. Link documents and exhibits with accurate identifiers. Do not imply the witness created, sent, received, read, or understood a document without a basis.
  7. Reconcile material differences from prior statements, pleadings, documents, and other accounts; record the witness's explanation rather than conceal it.
  8. Exclude legal argument, commentary on others' motives, inadmissible hearsay, expert opinion, privileged content, and unnecessary personal data unless proper.
  9. Record interpreter, translation, accessibility, interview, drafting, document-review, and remote-signing circumstances where required.
  10. Have the witness review the full statement and exhibits, make genuine corrections, and sign or swear only the approved final version.

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.
