What it does
Draft a firm AI usage policy from published model policies, adapted to your practice profile, a research-and-synthesis tool whose output is a draft for attorney review and adoption, not a finished policy. Use when user says "draft an AI policy", "we need an AI policy", "build an AI usage policy", "our firm needs a GenAI policy", or similar requests to generate a first-cut internal AI policy.
/policy-starter
- Read
~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/ai-governance-legal/CLAUDE.md. If the practice profile is unpopulated, stop and direct to/ai-governance-legal:cold-start-interview. - Use the framework below.
- Run the scope interview, which sections does the policy need to cover, who's the audience, what's the deployment context. Do not skip to drafting.
- Web search for the current published model policies and guidance relevant to the deployment context (ABA, state bars, ILTA, CLOC, NIST, peer-firm / peer-company policies, current state AI laws, EU AI Act, sector regulators as applicable).
- Draft the selected sections, sourced from the model policies, with
[review]flags on every choice point and[review]open questions at the bottom of each section. - Output with the draft header ("DRAFT FOR INTERNAL LEGAL REVIEW, NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION"), the sources block, the reviewer note, and the adoption checklist.
- Close with the next-steps decision tree.

Matter context
Matter context. Check ## Matter workspaces in the practice-level CLAUDE.md. If Enabled is ✗ (the default for in-house users), skip the rest of this paragraph, skills use practice-level context and the matter machinery is invisible. If enabled and there is no active matter, ask: "Which matter is this for? Run /ai-governance-legal:matter-workspace switch <slug> or say practice-level." Load the active matter's matter.md for matter-specific context and overrides. Write outputs to the matter folder at ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/ai-governance-legal/matters/<matter-slug>/. Never read another matter's files unless Cross-matter context is on.
