# opencode-for-legal

140 skills, 14 agents, and 19 MCP connector configurations for Opencode — covering in-house commercial, privacy, product, corporate, employment, litigation, regulatory, AI governance, IP, and legal education workflows.

> **Ported from claude-for-legal.** This is an Opencode-compatible port of the [claude-for-legal](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-for-legal) plugin collection by Anthropic (Apache 2.0). The original source files are preserved in the parent repository alongside this port per Apache 2.0 Section 4(b) requirements. See [NOTICE.md](NOTICE.md) for full attribution.

> **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.

## Quick Install

```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/
```

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

See [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md) for full setup instructions.

## Practice Profiles

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

- Company identity, jurisdiction, team size
- Practice areas and specialization
- Escalation contacts
- Risk posture and house style
- Output format rules
- Integration status (which MCP servers are available)

## Differences from the Original claude-for-legal

| Aspect | Original (Claude Code) | This Port (Opencode) |
|---|---|---|
| **Distribution** | Claude Code plugin marketplace | Copy to `~/.config/opencode/skills/` (auto-discovered) |
| **Skill invocation** | `/plugin:skill` slash commands | Auto-loaded by model from `skills/` directory |
| **Skill naming** | Short names within plugin namespace | Namespaced: `{plugin}-{skill}` (e.g., `commercial-legal-nda-review`) |
| **MCP config** | Per-plugin `.mcp.json` files | Single `opencode.json` with `mcp` key |
| **Practice profile** | `CLAUDE.md` per plugin in `~/.claude/` | `PROFILE.md` in `~/.config/opencode/opencode-for-legal/` |
| **Agents** | Claude Code agent definitions | Opencode subagent definitions (`.opencode/agents/`) |
| **Hooks** | `hooks/hooks.json` (empty stubs) | Not ported (Opencode hooks require TypeScript) |
| **Cookbooks** | CMA `agent.yaml` with three-tier subagents | Flattened to single Opencode agents |
| **Builder hub** | Community skill discovery/install | Not ported (Claude Code-specific meta-skills) |
