At a glance

Reference: DEPRECATED — use /draft instead. An agent skill from anthropics/claude-for-legal.

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Form Generation is an agent skill from anthropics/claude-for-legal, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Reference: DEPRECATED — use /draft instead. This skill has been folded into the draft skill, which handles practice-area document generation including form population. Kept as a redirect for migration.

Its SKILL.md is about 180 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.

Example prompts

  • “/form-generation”

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

Form Generation loads about 182 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 53 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~55
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~182

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.

[DEPRECATED] Form Generation → see /draft

This skill was folded into skills/draft/ during the v2 rebuild. The /draft command handles first-draft generation for all clinic documents including form population (asylum applications, eviction answers, protective order petitions, etc.) with practice-area templates and jurisdiction-aware formatting.

Use /draft [document type] instead.

See skills/draft/SKILL.md for the full workflow.
