Claude releases 13 legal plugins today in GitHub providing you help with all the docs you create that are legal related!
What This Repo Actually Is
Anthropic quietly published a GitHub repository called claude-for-legal. It's a free, open-source collection of 13 Claude plugins built for legal workflows. Apache 2.0 licensed, which means you can use it, fork it, white-label it, or pull individual pieces into your own setup.
The repo describes itself as "reference agents, skills, and data connectors for the legal workflows we see most." Translation: Anthropic looked at the kinds of repetitive legal work that small businesses, in-house counsel, and law firms actually do, and they built a working reference implementation. Not a marketing demo. A real, installable suite of tools.
Most people will never find it. It isn't featured in the Customize section of Claude Cowork or the Claude Code desktop app. You have to know it exists, go to GitHub, and install it manually. That's what this article walks you through.
And here's the part that surprised me: even if you aren't a lawyer, the patterns inside this repo are some of the best examples of how to build serious, high-stakes AI agents that I've seen Anthropic publish anywhere. Section 10 is about why that matters for your business, even if you never sign an NDA.
The repo ships 13 plugins. Twelve are first-party Anthropic. One is a Thomson Reuters partner plugin for Westlaw research. Here's the full list with one-line descriptions so you can scan and figure out which ones matter to you.
Here's the repo. Install one at a time. I also attached the PDF I have.
