Legal MDL Audit

What this skill does

This skill reviews whether a legal AI answer, prompt, workflow, benchmark result, contract review, memo, compliance report, or agent chain is as simple as it can safely be.

It is inspired by Minimum Description Length: good legal reasoning should explain more with less structure, but never by hiding material uncertainty.

Audit categories

Classify the material as:

• APPROVE: lean and still legally safe.
• APPROVE WITH CONSTRAINTS: complexity is justified, but reliance needs stated limits.
• REWRITE: the output is too complex, repetitive, expensive, or hard to audit.
• QUARANTINE: the output is falsely simple and hides material uncertainty.
