Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned cat-xierluo/legal-skills at bf7bffb42e.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

This skill allows AI agents to reformat legal text into various structured formats. It can transform unstructured documents like contracts or statutes into more organized representations, such as JSON or CSV. This facilitates easier parsing and analysis of complex legal information for downstream tasks.

When to use it

  • Contract Analysis: Extract key clauses from a contract and output them in a standardized format for comparison against other agreements.
  • Statutory Research: Convert lengthy statutes into a structured table summarizing sections, subsections, and relevant definitions.
  • Legal Document Summarization: Reformat legal documents to highlight essential information and create concise summaries.
  • Data Extraction: Pull specific data points (dates, amounts, parties) from legal texts and organize them for reporting or database entry.

Key capabilities

  • Text reformatting
  • JSON output
  • CSV output
  • Structured data extraction

Example prompts

  • "Reformat this contract into JSON, highlighting all clauses related to termination."
  • "Convert the following statute into a CSV table with columns for Section, Subsection, and Description."
  • "Extract all dates and parties mentioned in this legal document and output them as a JSON array."

Tips & gotchas

The quality of the reformatted output depends heavily on the clarity and structure of the original legal text. Complex or poorly written documents may require manual review and adjustments to achieve optimal results.
