What it does
Researchers Legal is an agent skill from bitwize-music-studio/claude-ai-music-skills. Researches court documents, indictments, plea agreements, and sentencing records. Use when the album subject involves legal proceedings or criminal cases.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `DISCOVERY_GUIDE.md`).
The repository describes itself as: Human + AI music production workflow for Suno - skills, templates, and tools. The licence is CC0-1.0.
When your agent uses it
- The album subject involves legal proceedings
Example prompts
- “Use the researchers-legal skill to research court documents, indictments, plea agreements, and sentencing records”
- “/researchers-legal”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Edit, Write, Grep, Glob, WebFetch, WebSearch
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Research the specified topic using your domain expertise
- Gather sources following the source hierarchy
- Document findings with full citations
- Flag items needing human verification
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 58f32c2. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadEditWriteGrepGlobWebFetchWebSearch
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
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
pacer.uscourts.govcourtlistener.comfree.lawplainsite.orgjustice.gov
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
Researchers Legal loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 664 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.
