sessionRun a focused N-question study session on a subject — MBE, essay, or flashcards.
Session is an agent skill from anthropics/claude-for-legal, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Run a focused N-question study session on a subject — MBE, essay, or flashcards. Tracks performance and updates the study plan. Use when the user says "run me 10 questions on [subject]", "do a session on [subject]", "let's do 5 cards on [subject]", or wants to drill a fixed number of questions and have the plan adapt.
Its SKILL.md is about 480 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 Education, covering Study guides and flashcards. The repository describes itself as: A suite of plugins for legal workflows. The licence is Apache-2.0.
7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4a6c651. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
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.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Session loads about 478 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 179 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.
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.

Session fits situations like: the user says run me 10 questions on [subject]; do a session on [subject]; lets do 5 cards on [subject]; wants to drill a fixed number of questions and have the plan adapt.
Run `npx skills add anthropics/claude-for-legal --skill session -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (law-student/skills/session in anthropics/claude-for-legal) into .claude/skills/session in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add anthropics/claude-for-legal --skill session -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (law-student/skills/session in anthropics/claude-for-legal) into .agents/skills/session in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
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 session -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/session, .gemini/skills/session, .github/skills/session and .opencode/skills/session in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Session is instructions for the agent only.
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.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Session is published under the Apache-2.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 478 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 1.9k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Session: Deep Reading Analyst (ginobefun/deep-reading-analyst-skill, 353 stars), Nihaisha (JuneYaooo/nihaisha-nishi-tcm, 2.2k stars), Claude Certification Tutor (rohitg00/ai-engineering-from-scratch, 65k stars) and StudyVault Quiz Tutor (bevibing/tutor-skills, 1.3k stars).
