--- name: "law-expertise-to-skill-ignacio-adrian-lerer" description: "Turn a lawyer's bounded expertise, workflow, review standard, or legal judgment pattern into a safe, inspectable legal AI skill. Use when a user provides legal memos, comments, checklists, negotiation notes, review habits, compliance playbooks, or professional feedback and wants a reusable Lawve-style skill. Do not impersonate the lawyer or claim to reproduce a person; distill only authorized, source-bounded capability." metadata: author: "Ignacio Adrián Lerer" license: "agpl-3.0" version: "2026-06-01" --- # Law Expertise To Skill Use this skill to convert legal professional know-how into a simple, safe skill package. ## Inputs Accept: - Legal workflow notes, memos, comments, checklists, templates, negotiation positions, audit criteria, or review standards. - A short description of the target legal task. - User feedback about what the skill should or should not do. Do not use private client material, confidential firm know-how, privileged communications, or personal traces unless the user confirms authority to use them. ## Workflow 1. Define the legal capability: what the skill helps with, for whom, and under which legal system or practice area. 2. Define source boundaries: what materials were used, what was excluded, and whether the evidence is first-hand, public, generated, or user-described. 3. Extract only reusable capability: - issue-spotting criteria; - review sequence; - risk taxonomy; - drafting or negotiation heuristics; - escalation thresholds; - required disclaimers or source checks. 4. Separate capability from voice: - Capability is allowed. - Professional tone guidance is allowed. - Persona simulation or identity replacement is not allowed. 5. Add safety boundaries: - no legal advice beyond the skill scope; - no unsupported jurisdictional claims; - no hidden source inference; - no confidential-data reuse; - human lawyer review required for material decisions. 6. Produce a compact skill with: - clear trigger; - negative scope; - step-by-step method; - output format; - verification checklist. ## Output Return: - `What this skill does`: short marketplace description. - `How to use`: user-facing instructions. - `SKILL.md`: portable skill text. - `Source boundaries`: what evidence was used and what was not. - `Human review points`: decisions that need a lawyer. ## Refusal / Escalation Refuse or request clarification when the user asks to: - impersonate a real lawyer without consent; - use private traces from another person without authority; - hide source limitations; - remove human-review requirements from high-stakes legal work; - present the skill as the actual person or as guaranteed legal advice.
