Quick Start

Get your first contract review in 60 seconds. No legal expertise required — point a /legal command at a document and let the analysis do the work.

---

1. Install the skills

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/davendra/uk-legal-skills/main/install.sh | bash

Or clone and run the installer locally:

git clone https://github.com/davendra/uk-legal-skills.git
cd uk-legal-skills
./install.sh

This installs the 38 /legal commands and 12 agents into ~/.claude/. It takes about 10 seconds.

2. Open your agent host

Launch Claude Code (or another compatible agent host) in your terminal. Navigate to the directory containing the contract you want to review.

3. See the command menu

Type /legal on its own to see the full command menu organised by category:

/legal

4. Get a first read

For a quick triage before a full review, use first-read:

/legal first-read contract.pdf

This gives you a fast plain-English summary and a heads-up on the biggest risks.

5. Run a full review

/legal review contract.pdf

You can also paste text directly or provide a URL — every /legal command accepts the same three input sources: a file path, pasted text, or a URL.

# Paste text
/legal review
# (your agent host will prompt you to paste the contract text)

# From a URL
/legal review https://example.com/contract.pdf

The review produces:

• A Contract Safety Score (0--100) with a colour-coded rating
• Clause-by-clause analysis with risk indicators: 🔴 High, 🟡 Medium, 🟢 Low
• Specific issues with suggested alternative language
• An overall risk summary and recommended next steps
• A saved Markdown report in your current directory

6. Search the case law

Look up relevant judgments straight from the terminal:

/legal caselaw "unfair dismissal qualifying period"

This searches the 63,000+ judgment corpus and returns the most relevant cases for your query.

7. Try more commands

/legal risks contract.pdf         # Deep risk analysis

/legal plain contract.pdf         # Translate to plain English
