What it does

Policy Monitor is an agent skill from anthropics/claude-for-legal, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Keep the AI policy current with practice — weekly sweep of saved AIAs, triage results, and vendor reviews to find policy drift, or direct query for a proposed new AI practice. Use when user says "policy sweep", "does our AI policy cover this", "we want to start doing X — does the policy need updating", "run the policy monitor", or on a recurring schedule.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Legal & Compliance, covering AI governance. The repository describes itself as: A suite of plugins for legal workflows. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • User says policy sweep
  • Does our AI policy cover this
  • We want to start doing X — does the policy need updating
  • Run the policy monitor

Example prompts

  • “policy sweep”
  • “does our AI policy cover this”
  • “we want to start doing X — does the policy need updating”
  • “/policy-monitor”

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Read ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/ai-governance-legal/CLAUDE.md → outputs folder path, AI policy document, last sweep date.
  2. Use the framework below. Scan outputs folder for files since last sweep.
  3. For each output: extract approved practices → diff against current policy commitments and use case registry.
  4. Classify gaps: REQUIRED (policy misrepresents current practice) vs ADVISABLE (policy silent).
  5. For each gap: quote current policy, describe gap, draft suggested language.
  6. Flag any use cases in outputs not yet added to the ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/ai-governance-legal/CLAUDE.md registry.
  7. Present results to the human. Only after acknowledgment, update Last policy sweep and gaps_found in…

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 (its code samples are markdown).

    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

Policy Monitor loads about 3.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 93 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,544 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~93
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.7k

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.

argument-hint
[describe a proposed new AI practice — or omit / use --sweep for crawl mode]

/policy-monitor

Sweep mode (no argument or --sweep):

  1. Read ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/ai-governance-legal/CLAUDE.md → outputs folder path, AI policy document, last sweep date.
  2. Use the framework below. Scan outputs folder for files since last sweep.
  3. For each output: extract approved practices → diff against current policy commitments and use case registry.
  4. Classify gaps: REQUIRED (policy misrepresents current practice) vs ADVISABLE (policy silent).
  5. For each gap: quote current policy, describe gap, draft suggested language.
  6. Flag any use cases in outputs not yet added to the ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/ai-governance-legal/CLAUDE.md registry.
  7. Present results to the human. Only after acknowledgment, update Last policy sweep and gaps_found in ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/ai-governance-legal/CLAUDE.md.

Direct query mode (with description argument):

  1. Read ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/ai-governance-legal/CLAUDE.md → current policy commitments, use case registry, actual policy document.
  2. Parse proposed practice. Diff against policy: use case coverage, automation level, affected parties, disclosure, vendor data use, oversight.
  3. Output: covered / missing / conflicting + suggested language for each gap + registry entry if needed + timing recommendation.

Recurring runs: Set up a recurring reminder in your own scheduler to run /ai-governance-legal:policy-monitor weekly. Scheduled execution requires a scheduled-tasks integration, which is not bundled with this plugin.

/ai-governance-legal:policy-monitor
/ai-governance-legal:policy-monitor "We want to use AI to automatically flag expense reports for review"

Purpose

AI policies drift from practice faster than almost any other policy document — the field moves quickly, use cases multiply, and each approved AIA or triage result represents a new commitment the policy may not have caught up with. An AIA approves a new AI use case with a human-oversight condition. A vendor AI agreement permits data processing the policy doesn't mention. A triage result marks a new category of deployment as conditional with a disclosure requirement. The policy sits there unchanged.

This skill catches the drift — either by crawling the outputs folder weekly, or by answering the direct question: "we're about to start doing X, what does that mean for our AI policy?"

The output is always the same: here's the gap, here's the suggested language.


Load current state

Read ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/ai-governance-legal/CLAUDE.md:

  • ## AI policy commitments — commitments extracted from the published policy
  • ## Use case registry — approved, conditional, and never use cases
  • ## Outputs — outputs folder path, AI policy document location, last sweep date

If ## Outputs contains [PLACEHOLDER]:

"Outputs aren't configured yet. I can still run a direct-query check — describe what you're planning to do and I'll diff it against your current AI policy. To enable the crawl sweep, run /ai-governance-legal:cold-start-interview and provide the outputs folder path."

Read the actual AI or acceptable use policy document from the path in ## Outputs → AI policy document. The commitments in ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/ai-governance-legal/CLAUDE.md are a summary; the actual document is authoritative for suggesting edits.


Mode detection

Sweep mode: No argument, --sweep, or triggered by schedule. → Scan the outputs folder. Diff all outputs since last sweep against current policy.

Direct query mode: User provides a description of a proposed new AI practice. → Diff that practice against current policy and use case registry. Suggest updates.


Mode 1: Sweep

Determine scope

Read ## Outputs → Last policy sweep date. Scan for output files in the outputs folder dated after that date. If no date is recorded, scan all files and note: "First sweep — scanning all outputs."

If the outputs folder is empty or has no new files since the last sweep:

"No new outputs since [last sweep date]. AI policy appears current with recent practice. Next scheduled sweep: [date]."

Do not update Last policy sweep or gaps_found automatically. After the sweep results are presented, wait for the human to acknowledge them ("sweep acknowledged," "results reviewed," or equivalent). Only then update ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/ai-governance-legal/CLAUDE.md:

  • Last policy sweep: [date of acknowledgment]
  • gaps_found: [N] (number of REQUIRED + ADVISABLE gaps found in that sweep)

Updating the stamp before acknowledgment would let an unreviewed sweep silently roll forward and suppress the next sweep's attention to the same gaps.

What to read in each output type

AIAs (AI Impact Assessments):

  • Extract: use case approved, AI system description, deployment mode (assistive / augmentative / automated), conditions imposed, affected parties, vendor used, any disclosure requirements to affected individuals
  • Flag: use cases not in the registry, use cases approved with conditions not reflected in policy, vendor added that policy doesn't cover, automated decision deployed where policy implies human oversight

Triage results (CONDITIONAL / APPROVED outcomes):

  • Extract: use case classified, tier assigned, conditions imposed
  • Flag: new use case categories not in registry, conditions that imply policy commitments (e.g., "must disclose to affected parties" — does the policy say you do this?), newly approved practices that expand policy scope

Vendor AI reviews (signed / approved):

  • Extract: vendor added, data use terms agreed to, any AI-specific provisions accepted that differ from standard positions in ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/ai-governance-legal/CLAUDE.md
  • Flag: vendors added whose data use terms the policy should reference (e.g., "we use third-party AI services and ensure they do not train on our data"), approved deviations from standard positions that the policy implies you hold

Use case registry updates:

  • If new entries were added to the registry since the last sweep (directly, not through an AIA), check whether the policy reflects those approved categories.
Gap identification

For each flagged item, assess:

REQUIRED update — the policy makes a commitment that an output contradicts, or an approved use case has no policy coverage and affects external parties. Not updating creates a material misrepresentation.

Example: AI policy says "we do not use AI in employment decisions." An AIA approved an AI-assisted hiring screening tool with human review required. Policy needs updating — even with human review, AI is now involved in employment decisions. "We do not use AI" is no longer accurate.

ADVISABLE update — policy is silent but not in conflict. The practice is defensible without updating, but cleaner with it. Important when the practice affects external parties or creates a reasonable expectation.

Example: Policy says "we use AI to improve our products and services." An AIA approved an AI feature for customer support drafts. Policy technically covers it but is vague. Advisable to be more specific so customers know what they're interacting with.

Mode 2: Direct query

Parse the proposed practice

Extract from the user's description:

  • What AI system or capability is being introduced?
  • What does it do — assistive, automated decisions, content generation?
  • Who does it affect — employees, customers, third parties?
  • Which vendor or model is involved?
  • Is there human review, or is it fully automated?
  • Are affected parties told the AI is involved?
  • Any data flowing to a vendor that wouldn't be expected?

If the description is vague, ask one clarifying question. Don't run a long intake — direct query mode should be fast.

Policy diff

Check the proposed practice against the current policy and use case registry:

## Timing

[REQUIRED: "Policy update should happen before this practice goes live — or
immediately if it's already running."
ADVISABLE: "Can proceed; update at next policy refresh."]

Suggested language quality standards

AI policy language is unusually prone to becoming outdated — the field moves fast and vague language ages better than specific commitments. When drafting:

  • Match the voice and style of the existing policy (read the actual document)
  • Prefer durable language: "AI-assisted" rather than naming specific models that will change; "automated or AI-assisted decisions" rather than technical descriptions
  • Don't draft commitments the team can't keep — "we always have a human review AI outputs" is broken the moment one automated workflow ships
  • When a policy position is genuinely changing (not just extending), say so explicitly: "This update reflects that we now use AI in [new category] — the previous language did not cover this."
  • For disclosure language: draft it to be readable by the affected party (employee, customer), not just legally accurate

Always say which section to add to. If the right section doesn't exist, suggest creating it and draft the header.


Schedule integration

The weekly sweep is designed to run on a recurring cadence. Set up a recurring reminder in your own scheduler to run /ai-governance-legal:policy-monitor weekly. Scheduled execution requires a scheduled-tasks integration, which is not bundled with this plugin.

After each sweep, the Last policy sweep and gaps_found fields in ## Outputs are updated only once the human has acknowledged the sweep results (see "Determine scope" above).


Close with the next-steps decision tree

End with the next-steps decision tree per CLAUDE.md ## Outputs. Customize the options to what this skill just produced — the five default branches (draft the X, escalate, get more facts, watch and wait, something else) are a starting point, not a lock-in. The tree is the output; the lawyer picks.

What this skill does not do

  • It doesn't update the policy itself — it drafts suggested language and flags decisions, but a human reviews and approves every change.
  • It doesn't catch incoming regulations — that's reg-gap-analysis. This skill monitors internal practice drift, not external legal changes.
  • It doesn't enforce that outputs are saved — if AIAs and triage results aren't being saved to the configured folder, the sweep won't find them. Direct-query mode works without saved outputs.
  • It doesn't read email, Slack, or informal decisions — only structured outputs saved to the configured folder.
  • It doesn't update the use case registry automatically — it flags registry gaps and drafts entries for human review before adding.

Questions about Policy Monitor

What does Policy Monitor do?

Keep the AI policy current with practice — weekly sweep of saved AIAs, triage results, and vendor reviews to find policy drift, or direct query for a proposed new AI practice. Policy Monitor is an agent skill from anthropics/claude-for-legal, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Keep the AI policy current with practice — weekly sweep of saved AIAs, triage results, and vendor reviews to find policy drift, or direct query for a proposed new AI practice.

When should I use Policy Monitor?

Policy Monitor fits situations like: user says policy sweep; does our AI policy cover this; we want to start doing X — does the policy need updating; run the policy monitor.

How do I install Policy Monitor in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add anthropics/claude-for-legal --skill policy-monitor -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (ai-governance-legal/skills/policy-monitor in anthropics/claude-for-legal) into .claude/skills/policy-monitor in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Policy Monitor in Codex?

Run `npx skills add anthropics/claude-for-legal --skill policy-monitor -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (ai-governance-legal/skills/policy-monitor in anthropics/claude-for-legal) into .agents/skills/policy-monitor in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Policy Monitor in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add anthropics/claude-for-legal --skill policy-monitor -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/policy-monitor, .gemini/skills/policy-monitor, .github/skills/policy-monitor and .opencode/skills/policy-monitor in your project.

What does Policy Monitor need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Policy Monitor is instructions for the agent only.

Does Policy Monitor access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
