# Installing opencode-for-legal

140 skills, 14 agents, and 19 MCP server configurations — ported from claude-for-legal (Apache 2.0) to Opencode. Original source preserved in parent repository per license requirements. See [NOTICE.md](NOTICE.md).

## Quick Install

### Local (recommended)

Opencode auto-discovers skills from `~/.config/opencode/skills/` and agents from `.opencode/agents/` — no config changes needed.

```bash
# Clone the repo
git clone <repo-url> /tmp/opencode-for-legal

# Copy skills to your opencode skills directory
cp -r /tmp/opencode-for-legal/opencode-for-legal/skills/* ~/.config/opencode/skills/

# Copy agents to your opencode agents directory
mkdir -p ~/.opencode/agents
cp /tmp/opencode-for-legal/opencode-for-legal/agents/* ~/.opencode/agents/
```

### Symlink alternative

If you prefer to keep the repo in one place and sync updates:

```bash
# Clone the repo
git clone <repo-url> ~/legal-tools

# Symlink individual skills (avoids name conflicts)
ln -s ~/legal-tools/opencode-for-legal/skills/* ~/.config/opencode/skills/
ln -s ~/legal-tools/opencode-for-legal/agents/* ~/.opencode/agents/
```

## Setup

After install, run the setup wizard:

```
/opencode-for-legal-setup
```

This guides you through:
1. Selecting which practice areas you need
2. Copying practice-profile templates to `~/.config/opencode/opencode-for-legal/`
3. Replacing `[PLACEHOLDER]` values with your company's configuration
4. Enabling the MCP servers you have access to

**Note:** The setup skill copies templates from `opencode-for-legal/legal-config/` (the repo). Make sure that directory is accessible, or copy the templates manually:
```bash
mkdir -p ~/.config/opencode/opencode-for-legal
cp /tmp/opencode-for-legal/opencode-for-legal/legal-config/* ~/.config/opencode/opencode-for-legal/
```

## MCP Servers

Copy `opencode-for-legal/opencode.json.example` to `~/.config/opencode/opencode.json`, then uncomment and configure only the servers you use. Or merge the `mcp` block into your existing config.

```json
{
  "mcp": {
    "Ironclad": {
      "type": "remote",
      "url": "https://mcp.na1.ironcladapp.com/mcp"
    },
    "Slack": {

## Practice Profiles

Each plugin has a practice-profile template in `opencode-for-legal/legal-config/`. The `opencode-for-legal-setup` skill copies these to `~/.config/opencode/opencode-for-legal/<plugin>/PROFILE.md` and guides you through configuration.

## Differences from Opencode Version

- **No plugin manifests** — Opencode auto-discovers skills from `~/.config/opencode/skills/`
- **No `skills.paths` config** — copy or symlink skills directly to `~/.config/opencode/skills/`
- **Skill names are namespaced** — `{plugin}-{skill}` instead of `/plugin:skill`
- **MCP config is in opencode.json** — not per-plugin `.mcp.json` files
- **No hooks** — Opencode's `hooks.json` was empty stubs; Opencode hooks require TypeScript plugins
- **Cookbooks flattened** — the three-tier subagent architecture (readers → analyzers → writers) is merged into single agents; Opencode orchestrates tools directly
- **Config path** — `~/.config/opencode/opencode-for-legal/` instead of `~/.claude/plugins/config/opencode-for-legal/`

## Legal Disclaimer

> **Every output from these skills is a draft for attorney review — not legal advice, not a legal conclusion, not a substitute for a lawyer.** A lawyer reviews, verifies, and takes professional responsibility for anything that leaves the building. These skills make that review faster; they do not replace it.
