The Agent Skills Directory

Local File Access: The skill reads configuration from ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-clinic/CLAUDE.md and looks for clinic-specific 'seed documents' (e.g., handbooks, filing guides) to provide context for the research roadmap. This is a functional requirement for the skill's purpose.
Contextual Data Ingestion: It processes user-uploaded research and clinic-provided documents to identify gaps and suggest new areas of inquiry, which is consistent with its role as a research assistant. While reading external files can present an indirect prompt injection surface, the skill implements strong pedagogical boundaries.
Safeguards and Verification: The skill explicitly instructs the agent to tag all citations with their source and warns the user that all generated content is unverified and requires manual checking against primary sources, mitigating risks of model hallucination or inaccuracies.
