What it does

Legal Strategy is an agent skill from magnus919/hermes-profiles. CLO/General Counsel methodology — regulatory landscape analysis (GDPR, CCPA, AI Act, sector-specific), IP strategy (patent, trademark, trade secret, open source licensing), contract risk assessment (indemnification, liability caps, force majeure), data privacy frameworks (privacy-by-design, DPIAs, data mapping), corporate governance (board responsibilities, fiduciary duties, shareholder rights), employment law (classification, IP assignment, non-competes).

Its SKILL.md is about 860 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `references/contract-risk.md`, `references/data-privacy.md` and `references/ip-strategy.md`).

It sits in Legal & Compliance, covering Privacy and GDPR and Intellectual property. The repository describes itself as: Curated Hermes Agent profiles for specialist swarms — opinionated, Hermes-optimized, artifact-pyramid native. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Privacy and GDPR
  • 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 867a555. 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 857 tokens when it runs, and up to ~7.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 119 tokens; SKILL.md has 228 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~119
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~857
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~7.8k

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.
