- Ai InventoryAnthropicOfficialEU AI Act per-system inventory — track each AI system's role (provider, deployer, importer, distributor, authorized representative, product manufacturer) and risk tier (prohibited, high-risk, limited, minimal, GPAI, GPAI+systemic). Role and tier are assessed per system, not per company.
- Ai Tool HandoffAnthropicOfficialDetects when Luminance, Kira, or a similar bulk-review tool is in use, hands off the high-volume clause extraction to it, and QAs its output per the trust level in `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/corporate-legal/CLAUDE.md`. Use when user says "send to Luminance", "bulk review", "AI extraction", or when diligence-issue-extraction hits a high-volume category.
- Aia GenerationAnthropicOfficialRun an AI impact assessment — structured intake, risk analysis, regulatory classification per regime in scope, policy consistency diff, and recommendation with conditions. Uses the house-style structure learned from the seed impact assessment in `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/ai-governance-legal/CLAUDE.md`.
- Amendment HistoryAnthropicOfficialTrace how a contract has changed across its base agreement and all amendments — either a summary of all changes over time, or a provision trace for a specific clause. Use when the user says "what changed in this contract over time", "show me the amendment history", "where's the latest [clause]", "how has [provision] evolved", or uploads multiple versions of an agreement.
- Auto UpdaterAnthropicOfficialCheck installed community skills for updates. Shows a diff and requires explicit approval before applying. Use when the user says "check for updates", "update my skills", "anything new for my installed skills", or when invoked from the registry-sync agent.
- Bar Prep QuestionsAnthropicOfficialBar prep questions — MBE or essay, targeted at your weak subjects and bar jurisdiction. Tracks misses and comes back to patterns. Use when the user says "bar prep", "MBE questions", "practice essay", or "test me for the bar".
- Board MinutesAnthropicOfficialDrafts board or committee meeting minutes in your house format. Auto-detects upcoming board and committee meetings from your calendar, asks for the agenda and any slides or pre-read materials, and produces a complete draft in the format learned from your seed minutes. Also handles written consents in lieu of meetings.
- Brief Section DrafterAnthropicOfficialDraft a brief section in house style, consistent with the case theory — every fact cited, every case checked, every argument tied to the theory. Use when the user says "draft the [section]", "write the statement of facts", "argument section on [issue]", or needs a first draft of a brief section.
- Build GuideAnthropicOfficialHelp a clinic supervisor author a practice-area guide that configures how student-facing skills behave — intake questions, pedagogy posture (assist / guide / teach), review gates, cross-plugin checks, and local rules.
- Case BriefAnthropicOfficialBrief a case in your preferred format. In drill-me mode, makes the student state the holding first. Use when the user says "brief [case]", "what's the holding in", "case brief", or pastes a case.
- Cease DesistAnthropicOfficialDraft a cease-and-desist letter (send mode) or triage one you received (receive mode). Use when asserting your rights against an infringer with a demand letter calibrated to your enforcement posture, or when an incoming C&D needs triage into a structured options memo with a recommendation.
- ChronologyAnthropicOfficialBuild or update a chronology from declared document sources and uploads — dated events extracted, de-duped, and tagged by significance per the matter theory. Use when the user asks to build a chronology or timeline from a production or matter file, says "chron from the production" or "what happened when", or needs a working, statement-of-facts, or witness-specific timeline.
- Claim ChartAnthropicOfficialBuild or review an element chart — a patent claim chart (infringement, invalidity, or review) or a civil element chart for any cause of action or defense — with every cell pin-cited and gap detection as the priority output.
- ClearanceAnthropicOfficialTrademark clearance first pass — knockout + similar-marks check producing a flag list, not a clearance opinion. Use when a new mark is proposed, when asked whether a mark is available or to run a knockout search, or when assessing likelihood-of-confusion factors before a full professional search. This skill never concludes a mark is clear.
- Client Comms LogAnthropicOfficialLog a client communication — call, email, text, letter, in-person, voicemail. Append-only per-case record with dated entries, direction, medium, summary, action items. Works alongside /client-letter and /status client. Use when logging a call or client email, reviewing a communication log, or asking "what did we tell [client] last time".
- Client IntakeAnthropicOfficialStructured intake — practice-area templates, cross-area issue spotting, conflict flags, and triage classification. Produces a formatted case summary the student analyzes and the professor reviews. Does NOT decide case acceptance. Use when starting a new client intake, running an intake interview, or writing up a new client's situation.
- Client LetterAnthropicOfficialRoutine client correspondence from templates — appointment confirmations, document requests, brief "we filed it" updates. Plain language, required elements, supervision routing. NOT substantive advice. Use when a student needs to send routine correspondence, an appointment confirmation, a document request letter, or a brief status note to a client.
- Closing ChecklistAnthropicOfficialWhat's blocking close — maintain the closing checklist with status, critical path, and days to close. Self-updating: ingests new items from diligence findings and schedule builds, tracks status, surfaces what's blocking. Use when user says "closing checklist", "what's left to close", "checklist status", "add to the checklist", or on a scheduled status pull.
- cocounsel-legal:deep-researchAnthropicOfficialUse this skill whenever a user specifically requests legal research or Westlaw Deep Research, asks for CoCounsel Legal or cocounsel legal support, or asks a question that requires explaining, analyzing, or synthesizing U.S. law.
- Cold Call PrepAnthropicOfficialPrep for a cold-call — predict the professor's likely questions and drill them Socratically, flagging where you're shaky so you know what to re-read before class. Use when the user says "prep for class tomorrow", "cold call [case]", "what might [professor] ask on", or points at assigned reading.
- Cold Start InterviewAnthropicOfficialRun the cold-start interview — learns your AI governance practice and writes `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/ai-governance-legal/CLAUDE.md` from your AI policy, a reference impact assessment, and key vendor AI agreements. Use when the practice profile is missing or contains `[PLACEHOLDER]` markers, or when user says "set up ai governance plugin", "onboard me", "configure ai governance".
- Cold Start InterviewAnthropicOfficialRun the cold-start interview to learn your commercial contracts practice and write your team practice profile.

- Cold Start InterviewAnthropicOfficialHouse cold-start interview (request list + prior memo), or --new-deal for deal-specific context. Modular: identifies which practice areas apply (M&A, Board & Secretary, Public Company, Entity Management), then asks targeted questions for each active module and writes only the relevant sections to the plugin config.
- Cold Start InterviewAnthropicOfficialCold-start setup — learns your jurisdictional footprint and escalation rules from your handbook and termination memos. Asks which states and countries have employees, reads seed documents, and builds a jurisdiction-aware escalation table. Use on fresh install, when CLAUDE.md still has [PLACEHOLDER] markers, or when re-running with --redo or --check-integrations.
- Cold Start InterviewAnthropicOfficialRun the cold-start interview to learn your IP practice and write your practice profile.

This is the ONLY skill that should run on a fresh install.
- Cold Start InterviewAnthropicOfficialAbout-you interview and materials intake — classes, bar jurisdiction, learning style (drill-me vs explain-to-me), past outlines, graded essays, old exams, MBE sets, syllabi, papers. Use on a fresh install, when the user says "set up" or "get started", or with --check-integrations to re-probe connectors.
- Cold Start InterviewAnthropicOfficialPractice-profile interview that recommends and installs a starter pack of community legal skills. This IS the cold start for the whole ecosystem — it asks what kind of lawyer you are and recommends what to install first. Use on fresh install, when the user says "get me started" or "what should I install", or to re-run the integration-availability check after adding or removing an MCP connector.
- Cold Start InterviewAnthropicOfficialProfessor's one-time clinic setup — practice areas, jurisdiction, supervision style (formal review queue / configurable flags / lighter-touch), and handbook/rules upload. Writes CLAUDE.md so every other skill and every student who runs /ramp reads from the same clinic context.
- Cold Start InterviewAnthropicOfficialHouse cold-start for the litigation plugin — branches by role (in-house, firm associate, solo) and side (plaintiff, defense, both), captures risk calibration, landscape, and house style, and writes the practice profile CLAUDE.md.

- Cold Start InterviewAnthropicOfficialCold-start interview — connects to your launch tracker, reads past reviews, learns your risk calibration. Use on fresh install, when onboarding product counsel, or when the plugin config has placeholders. Run with --redo to re-interview, or --check-integrations to re-probe connectors only.
- Cold Start InterviewAnthropicOfficialCold-start interview — builds your watchlist, indexes the policy library, and learns your materiality threshold so the monitor surfaces signal instead of noise.
