Legal Skills for AI Agents

Legal skills for AI agents split by the job you are doing with the law, not by a single generic capability. Research skills work out what the law actually says for a given set of facts. Advisory skills turn that into counsel a client can act on, with the uncertainty named rather than buried. Contracts skills write, read, and negotiate the deal as a document. Disputes skills cover matters where the relationship has already broken. Compliance skills keep an organization inside the rules that apply to it, and entity and governance skills handle how the organization exists and makes decisions. Use the ranked list by picking the sub-topic that matches your task first, then compare the skills within it. Read each skill's description for the inputs it expects and the output it produces, and choose the one whose scope lines up with the work in front of you.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

How is this list ordered?
It is ranked by observed search demand, with skills that directly match the Legal topic placed first. The ranking also caps how many skills any single publisher can occupy.
Why are legal skills grouped by sub-topic instead of listed together?
Legal work clusters by what you are doing with the law: advise, contract, dispute, comply, or research. A skill built for contract drafting is not interchangeable with one built for compliance monitoring, so the sub-topics separate them.
What does an advisory skill produce that a research skill does not?
Research skills establish what the law says for the facts you provide. Advisory skills go further and produce counsel a client can act on, with the uncertainty in that position named explicitly.
Which sub-topic covers how an organization is structured and decides things?
Entity and governance. That sub-topic covers how the organization exists and how it makes decisions, as distinct from compliance, which covers staying inside the rules that apply to it.

How to install an Agent Skill

Start with the first skill on this page. Claude Code reads a SKILL.md once it is in the skills directory:

  • Claude Code — copy the SKILL.md for contract-review into ~/.claude/skills/contract-review/ for yourself, or .claude/skills/contract-review/ to share it with a project.
  • From the registry — run npx skills add claude-office-skills/skills@contract-review.
  • Or download contract-review from its source and place that SKILL.md in the directory above.

How to choose Check the source and the skill’s own instructions before you install. Official and Notable describe where a skill comes from.
