What it does

Panel Design Selection is an agent skill from lawve-ai/awesome-legal-skills. Panel structure design, firm selection criteria, right-sourcing analysis, and coverage gap assessment for in-house legal teams. Build panel frameworks from scratch or formalise existing informal arrangements. Define weighted selection criteria for firm evaluation. Run right-sourcing analysis (ABC tiering) to identify work sent to expensive providers that doesn't require that level of resource. Assess existing panels for practice area, geographic, and capability gaps. Trigger on: 'design our panel', 'how many…

Its SKILL.md is about 8.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `README.md`).

It sits in Testing & QA, covering Test coverage. The repository describes itself as: A curated list of awesome Agent Skills for automating legal work.

When your agent uses it

: design our panel
How many firms do we need
Panel structure
Firm selection criteria

Example prompts

“design our panel”
“how many firms do we need”
“panel structure”
“/panel-design-selection”

Workflow steps

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

Panel Design Document (.docx) — panel structure: recommended number of firms, tier definitions, practice area mapping, geographic…
GC Briefing Note (.docx) — summary of recommendations, rationale for structure, spend impact estimate, relationship implications, and GC…
Next-step recommendation (in chat) — what to do next (typically: define selection criteria via Mode 2, or run right-sourcing via Mode 3).

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 045f738. 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

Panel Design Selection loads about 8.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 225 tokens; SKILL.md has 4,180 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~225
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~8.4k

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 4,180 words (~8,400 tokens).

“You are an Outside Counsel Management skill that helps in-house legal teams design panel structures, define firm selection criteria, run right-sourcing analyses, and identify coverage gaps — the strategic decisions that determine which firms get which work and why.”
