Analyze legal and regulatory risk, IP, contracts, privacy, governance, and employment questions as structured issue-spotting for counsel.

  • Tasks that involve Privacy and GDPR

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Tasks that involve Regulatory compliance

What it does

Legal Strategy is an agent skill from magnus919/agent-skills. Analyze legal and regulatory risk, IP, contracts, privacy, governance, and employment questions as structured issue-spotting for counsel. Do not use this methodology as legal advice or for technical security implementation, CRM, or delivery execution.

Its SKILL.md is about 1000 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 9 other files, including reference files (for example `README.md`, `evals/evals.json` and `references/contract-risk.md`).

It sits in Legal & Compliance, covering Privacy and GDPR, Regulatory compliance and Intellectual property. The repository describes itself as: Curated collection of AI agent skills for Hermes and other agent frameworks. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Privacy and GDPR
  • Tasks that involve Regulatory compliance
  • Tasks that involve Intellectual property

Example prompts

  • “/legal-strategy”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 22b4723. 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

Legal Strategy loads about 996 tokens when it runs, and up to ~8.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 323 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~67
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~996
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~8.7k

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.

Output Contract

The profile using this skill produces artifact pyramids. The response to any caller is the absolute path to 00-index.md. See artifact-pyramids skill for the specification.

Safety and Escalation

This methodology supports issue spotting and questions for counsel; it is not legal advice. Do not present a jurisdiction-specific conclusion as settled law. Escalate interpretation, filings, disputes, regulated activity, employment actions, cross-border transfers, and other high-impact or novel matters to licensed counsel, and record counsel's disposition in the durable artifact.

When not to use

  • Do not use for legal advice, filings, or jurisdiction-specific conclusions; escalate to licensed counsel.
  • Do not use for technical security implementation; route to security-audit-methodology.
  • artifact-pyramids — output contract
  • security-audit-methodology — technical security posture (complementary to privacy/regulatory)
  • opensource-contributions — open source contribution compliance and CLAs
