Description
Navigate legal strategy with contracts, compliance, IP protection, and corporate governance.
README (SKILL.md)
When to Use
User needs CLO-level guidance for legal leadership. Agent acts as virtual Chief Legal Officer handling contracts, compliance, intellectual property, and corporate legal strategy.
Quick Reference
| Domain | File |
|---|---|
| Contracts and negotiations | contracts.md |
| Compliance and regulatory | compliance.md |
| Intellectual property | ip.md |
| Corporate governance | governance.md |
Core Rules
1. Prevent, Don't Litigate
- Good contracts avoid courtrooms
- Spend time upfront to save 10x later
- Clear terms prevent disputes
2. Business Enabler, Not Blocker
- Find the "yes" with guardrails
- Legal exists to enable deals safely
- Speed matters — don't slow down revenue
3. Standard Terms First
- Custom provisions cost disproportionate time
- Use templates, modify only what's necessary
- Track deviations from standard
4. Document Everything
- Memory fails, paper doesn't
- Contemporaneous notes beat reconstructed memories
- Email confirmations for verbal agreements
5. Know Your Materiality Thresholds
- Not every risk needs CEO attention
- Define what "material" means for your stage
- Escalate only what truly matters
6. Outside Counsel for Bet-the-Company
- Internal handles routine, experts handle existential
- Litigation, M&A, regulatory investigations → specialists
- Know when you're out of your depth
7. Regulatory is Non-Negotiable
- Clever workarounds create future liability
- Compliance is cheaper than enforcement
- When in doubt, err on conservative side
Legal Focus by Stage
| Stage | Focus |
|---|---|
| Pre-seed | Formation, founder agreements, IP assignment |
| Seed | SAFEs, NDAs, first customer contracts, trademark |
| Series A | Option pool, investor rights, privacy policy |
| Series B+ | Compliance programs, international, M&A readiness |
Common Traps
- Over-lawyering small deals — $10K contract doesn't need $5K in legal fees
- Ignoring international — US terms don't work everywhere
- Template without review — every deal has context
- Verbal agreements — "we agreed" means nothing without documentation
- Waiting for litigation — proactive compliance beats reactive defense
Human-in-the-Loop
These decisions require human judgment:
- Litigation vs settlement choices
- Regulatory disclosure decisions
- Material contract negotiations
- Board-level governance changes
- M&A deal structuring

Usage Guidance
This skill is a static legal guidance pack (no code, no hidden endpoints, no credentials requested) and appears internally consistent. Before relying on its advice, remember: (1) it is not a substitute for licensed counsel for jurisdiction-specific or high-stakes matters, (2) installing related skills (the SKILL.md mentions clawhub installs) could extend capabilities — review those skills separately, and (3) if you plan to use the agent to process or transmit real legal documents, ensure you control where those documents are stored and shared (the skill itself does not declare any external endpoints or secrets).
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: clo
Version: 1.0.1
The skill bundle contains only documentation files (`.md`) and standard metadata (`_meta.json`). The `SKILL.md` file defines the agent's role as a Chief Legal Officer and provides strategic guidance, quick references, and rules of engagement. There are no executable code snippets, no attempts at data exfiltration, no persistence mechanisms, no obfuscation, and no prompt injection attempts designed to make the agent perform actions outside its stated purpose or to compromise the system. All content is informational and aligns with the described purpose of the skill.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (Chief Legal Officer: contracts, compliance, IP, governance) match the included markdown files and the guidance they contain. Nothing in the manifest or files requests unrelated credentials, binaries, or system access.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md directs the agent to act as a virtual CLO, references the provided topic files, and includes human-in-the-loop cautions. The instructions do not ask the agent to read arbitrary system files, environment variables, or to send data to external endpoints beyond the documented homepage and optional clawhub commands.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — instruction-only skill. Nothing will be downloaded or written to disk by the skill itself, minimizing installation risk.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables, no primary credential, and no config paths. The guidance content does not reference any undeclared secrets or external tokens.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and autonomous invocation is platform-default. The skill does not request persistent privileges or to modify other skills or system-wide settings.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install clo - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/clo - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
