What it does
Expansion Kickoff is an agent skill from anthropics/claude-for-legal, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Kick off international expansion planning for a new country — gathers intake, runs EOR vs. entity framing, drafts cross-functional questions, surfaces country-specific flags, and creates a persistent tracker. Use when someone says "we're hiring in [country]", "expansion to [country]", or "first hire in [country]".
Its SKILL.md is about 410 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: A suite of plugins for legal workflows. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- Someone says were hiring in [country]
- Expansion to [country]
- First hire in [country]
Example prompts
- “re hiring in [country]”
- “expansion to [country]”
- “first hire in [country]”
- “/expansion-kickoff”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Load ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/employment-legal/CLAUDE.md → jurisdictional footprint, escalation table.
- Load the international-expansion reference skill and run the full workflow.
- If a tracker file already exists for this country (~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/employment-legal/expansion-[slug].yaml),
- Create ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/employment-legal/expansion-[slug].yaml on completion.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4a6c651. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Expansion Kickoff loads about 407 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 83 tokens; SKILL.md has 110 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
