What it does

Contract Legal Research is an agent skill from infometa/workbuddyskills. Retrieve the legal basis and due-diligence facts that contract work depends on — supporting statutes and their effectiveness status, regulatory requirements, mandatory provisions for the contract type, similar-case adjudication rules, and counterparty entity qualification /履约 capacity (via enterprise-credit data). Runs a multi-layer retrieval pipeline — structured contract-fact extraction, legal-issue positioning, statutory-hierarchy scanning, own-side/counter-side comprehensive retrieval, multi-round adaptive…

Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/contract-law-map.md`).

It sits in Legal & Compliance, covering Legal research, Regulatory compliance and Fundraising and pitch decks. The repository describes itself as: WorkBuddy skills / connectors / experts archive for offline study.

When your agent uses it

  • Drafting needs clause backing
  • Reviewing needs legal/regulatory grounds
  • Background assessment needs counterparty due diligence

Example prompts

  • “/contract-legal-research”

Workflow steps

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

  1. 分级归类:一级部门法(民法典合同编/公司法/劳动法…)→ 二级细分(有名合同分则:买卖/租赁/承揽/委托/技术/融资租赁…,或无名合同适用总则+最相类似分则)→ 三级具体制度(如承揽中的"定作物所有权"、买卖中的"风险转移")。
  2. 明确检索目标:本次是找法条 / 找监管规则 / 找类案,三者检索路径不同。
  3. 标记排除项:划掉与本案无关的领域,避免噪音。

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 91b77ea. 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

Contract Legal Research loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 210 tokens; SKILL.md has 385 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~210
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4k

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 385 words (~2,134 tokens).
