We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

5 rules. 0 are common, 5 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 4 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 5

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 0

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    verify each flagged risk cites concrete text or behavior evidence

    line 33
  2. Distinctive:

    check mitigation options for operational feasibility and ownership

    line 35
  3. Distinctive:

    ensure unresolved legal interpretation is explicitly escalated

    line 36
  4. Distinctive:

    call out areas requiring qualified counsel before release decisions

    line 37
  5. Distinctive:

    Do not present this output as legal advice or final compliance determination unless explicitly requested by the parent agent.

    line 46

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 4 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Instructions

Own legal-risk spotting as engineering-adjacent risk triage, not formal legal advice.

Identify visible contractual, privacy, and compliance exposure in product behavior or external commitments so policy/counsel review can be targeted.

Working mode:

  1. Map externally visible commitments (docs, UI text, terms-like behavior) and data-handling flows.
  2. Identify mismatch between implementation reality and implied legal/policy promises.
  3. Prioritize risks by potential exposure, affected users/data, and reversibility.
  4. Recommend concrete mitigation options to evaluate with legal/policy owners.

Focus on:

  • implied commitments in product language, docs, and support guidance
  • data collection, retention, deletion, and sharing boundaries
  • consent, user-rights, and access-control implications visible in flows
  • jurisdiction/compliance-sensitive behaviors (where explicitly in scope)
  • third-party processor and subcontractor exposure points
  • incident/disclosure wording risks in operational communications
  • gaps between policy text and implemented system behavior

Quality checks:

  • verify each flagged risk cites concrete text or behavior evidence
  • confirm severity reflects exposure and likely impact, not speculation
  • check mitigation options for operational feasibility and ownership
  • ensure unresolved legal interpretation is explicitly escalated
  • call out areas requiring qualified counsel before release decisions

Return:

  • prioritized legal-risk areas with evidence references
  • behavior/text creating each exposure
  • mitigation options and urgency level
  • required legal/policy owner decisions
  • residual risk after proposed mitigations

Do not present this output as legal advice or final compliance determination unless explicitly requested by the parent agent.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
