What it does

Related Skills Surfacer is an agent skill from anthropics/claude-for-legal, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Suggest community skills based on recent activity in other plugins. Checks whether the community has built something relevant to a task and mentions it once, non-intrusively. Use when the user says "is there a community skill for this", "what else is out there", or asks for skill recommendations; also runs passively as part of other plugins' workflows.

Its SKILL.md is about 810 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

  • The user says is there a community skill for this
  • What else is out there
  • Asks for skill recommendations
  • Also runs passively as part of other plugins workflows

Example prompts

  • “is there a community skill for this”
  • “what else is out there”
  • “/related-skills-surfacer”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Load ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-builder-hub/CLAUDE.md → practice profile.
  2. Use the workflow below.
  3. Check what other plugins have been doing. Match against registry.
  4. Suggest: "You've been doing X — community has a skill for Y that's related."

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

Related Skills Surfacer loads about 807 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 95 tokens; SKILL.md has 398 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~95
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~807

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.

description
Suggest community skills based on recent activity in other plugins. Checks whether the community has built something relevant to a task and mentions it once, non-intrusively. Use when the user says "is there a community skill for this", "what else is out there", or asks for skill recommendations; also runs passively as part of other plugins' workflows.
  1. Load ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-builder-hub/CLAUDE.md → practice profile.
  2. Use the workflow below.
  3. Check what other plugins have been doing. Match against registry.
  4. Suggest: "You've been doing X — community has a skill for Y that's related."

Purpose

The community might have built the thing you're about to build. This skill notices and mentions it — once, briefly, non-annoyingly.

How it runs

This skill surfaces related community skills after a task. It can be invoked directly by the user ("what else is out there for X?") or wired into other plugins via a Stop hook — the hook-based pattern requires each sibling plugin to declare a Stop hook that calls this skill, which is not wired by default. Without the hook wiring, invoke it directly.

Other plugins can include a light check at the end of a task:

"The legal-builder-hub found a community skill that might help with this kind of thing: [name] — [one-line]. Want to take a look?"

Load context

~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-builder-hub/CLAUDE.md → practice profile, installed skills (don't suggest what's already installed). Registry cache from registry-browser.

The match

Given a task description (what the user was just doing), find registry skills that match:

  • Keyword overlap between the task and skill descriptions
  • Practice profile fit (don't suggest litigation skills to a transactional lawyer)
  • Not already installed

Threshold: Only surface if the match is strong. Weak matches are noise. Better to surface nothing than to annoy.

Show full SKILL.md (168 more words)Show less

Output

If strong match:

💡 The community has a skill for this: [name] from [registry] — "[description]". /legal-builder-hub:skill-installer [name] to try it.

If no strong match: silent. No output. Don't announce "I found nothing."

Frequency limit

Don't surface the same skill twice. If the user didn't install it the first time, they saw it and decided no. Track dismissals in references/surfaced.json.

User control

Per ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-builder-hub/CLAUDE.md → new skill notifications:

  • All: Surface any match
  • Matching practice profile: Filter by profile (default)
  • None: This skill is off

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

  • Install anything.
  • Interrupt a task in progress. Surfacing happens at the end of a task, not in the middle.
  • Nag. One mention per skill, ever.
