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 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 for full attribution.

Trademark notice: "Claude" and "Claude Code" are trademarks of Anthropic. This port is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or maintained by Anthropic.

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.

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	Opencode skills (local or remote catalog)
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)
