Legal Client Communication Drafter

Provides structured frameworks and templates to draft clear, professional client communications for legal updates, document requests, expectations, and next...

Security Scan

This is a descriptive, instruction-only skill that is internally consistent with its stated purpose of producing non-final client communication frameworks and requests no binaries, credentials, or installs.

Purpose & Capability

Name, description, skill.json, README.md, and SKILL.md consistently describe a descriptive-only drafting helper. There are no declared env vars, binaries, or installs that would be unrelated to generating templates and checklists.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md stays within the stated scope (frameworks, templates, checklists) and explicitly forbids code execution, external API calls, or filings. It does ask users to provide facts, documents, dates, and jurisdiction information — expected for drafting but potentially sensitive. The skill does not provide any enforcement mechanism; users should avoid pasting privileged or confidential materials they do not want in the agent context.

Install Mechanism

No install spec and no code files are present. Instruction-only package means nothing is written to disk by the package itself, which is proportionate for a purely descriptive skill.

Credentials

No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested. That matches the described capabilities and is proportionate.

Persistence & Privilege

always:false and default autonomous invocation are used. The skill does not request persistent system presence or modify other skills. This is normal for a document-only descriptive skill.

Assessment

This skill is internally consistent and appears to only provide templates and checklists. Before using it: (1) do not paste privileged, confidential, or personally identifiable documents or secret facts into the chat — supply only the minimum necessary context; (2) remember outputs are non-final and must be reviewed by qualified counsel for jurisdictional rules, deadlines, privilege, and ethics; (3) note that the package source/homepage is unknown—prefer skills from known publishers if you need stronger provenance; and (4) if your agent or deployment allows external network access, verify platform-level controls so that any sensitive content you enter is not transmitted or logged outside your intended environment.

This is a descriptive OpenClaw skill for legal-industry workflow support. It provides structured frameworks, checklists, templates, and issue-spotting prompts. It does not execute code, call external APIs, access legal databases, retrieve court records, automate filings, or perform legal services.

Core Modules

1. Client-update structure — provides structured prompts, checklists, and review fields for this area.
2. Plain-language explanation prompts — provides structured prompts, checklists, and review fields for this area.
3. Document request format — provides structured prompts, checklists, and review fields for this area.
4. Expectation and next-step checklist — provides structured prompts, checklists, and review fields for this area.
5. Tone and sensitivity review — provides structured prompts, checklists, and review fields for this area.

Workflow

1. Confirm the user's legal workflow goal and the relevant practice context.
2. Ask for missing facts, documents, dates, parties, jurisdiction, and audience where needed.
3. Apply the modules below as a structured thinking framework.
4. Produce checklists, templates, matrices, memos, or planning aids tailored to the user's context.
5. Flag uncertainty, verification needs, deadlines, ethics concerns, confidentiality issues, and attorney-review points.

Expected Outputs

• Client email draft structure
• Document request checklist
• Plain-language summary
• Tone review notes

Example Prompts

• "Draft a client update structure for a delayed court ruling."
• "Create a document request email template for a new matter."

Safety and Legal Limitations

• This skill provides informational workflow support only and is not legal advice.
• It does not create an attorney-client relationship and does not replace review by a qualified attorney.
• Laws, court rules, deadlines, ethics duties, privilege, confidentiality, and professional responsibility rules vary by jurisdiction and matter.
• Users must verify all legal authorities, filing requirements, deadlines, facts, citations, and strategic decisions with qualified counsel.
• The skill must not be used to fabricate evidence, coach false testimony, evade regulation, access data unlawfully, or bypass confidentiality obligations.
• Specific limitation for this skill: Drafts are not final legal advice and must be reviewed for privilege, confidentiality, accuracy, and attorney-client relationship issues.

Acceptance Criteria

• Package is descriptive only: no handler.py, scripts, external APIs, network calls, or command execution.
• SKILL.md and README.md are English-first and include an explicit legal-information disclaimer.
• Outputs are frameworks, checklists, templates, or planning aids rather than legal conclusions.
• Includes target users, when-to-use guidance, inputs, workflow, outputs, examples, and safety limitations.
• skill.json contains unique slug, tags, trigger keywords, requires_api=false, and readiness=stable.
