How to use the Policy Compliance Drafter agent skill
Updated · written with AI from the project's own documentation and checked against our catalogue data
The Policy Compliance Drafter is an agent skill that turns a plain description of your business into a draft policy document and a tick-box compliance checklist. It is aimed at small app teams who need a first-draft privacy policy, and at HR, operations and compliance staff who need an internal rulebook. By the end of this guide you will know what the skill does, how to install it, how to ask for a policy in a way it can work with, and what to check before anything is published.

- 1Download the ZIP. Get the policy-compliance skill ZIP from the directory page.
- 2Install the skill. Unzip it into ~/.claude/skills/ for personal use or .claude/skills/ inside a project, or upload it under Settings, Capabilities, Skills in the Claude apps.
- 3Check the document and spreadsheet tools. Confirm that your agent environment can create Word documents and Excel workbooks, since the skill depends on both.
- 4Describe your business scenario. Say what your product or company does, which data is involved, who uses it and where the users are.
- 5Answer the agent's questions. Choose a privacy policy or an internal policy and answer the follow-up questions about data, sharing, vendors and regions.
- 6Review the Word document. Check the chapters, clauses and every bracketed placeholder, and confirm the data practices described are accurate.
- 7Use the Excel checklist. Work through each check item, set the status to yes, no or n/a, and add notes, then have a lawyer review the policy before use.
What is an agent skill and what does this one do?
An agent skill is a set of instructions that an AI agent loads when a request matches the skill's purpose. This skill is named policy-compliance and is listed in the legal category of the directory.
Once installed, the agent asks where your users are and what data you handle, then writes one of two kinds of document. The first is an outward-facing privacy policy for users. The second is an internal policy for employees, such as data security or anti-bribery rules.
- Privacy policy: scope, data collected and why, sharing and outsourced processing, storage and retention, user rights, minors, security, updates and contact.
- Internal policy: purpose and scope, definitions, responsibilities, conduct rules, reporting channels, handling of violations, training and review.
- Excel checklist: each check item maps to a policy clause, with columns for responsible role, check frequency and a yes, no or n/a status.

What the agent needs in your environment
The skill writes its output using document tools and spreadsheet tools. It needs Word document creation and Excel workbook creation to be available in the agent environment. The skill's instructions refer to these tools generically, and the file does not name any specific API keys or accounts.
The skill does not run scripts and does not use the network, according to the skill's listing. Its output is produced through the document and spreadsheet tools described above.
- Document tools that can create a Word document
- Spreadsheet tools that can create an Excel workbook
- No scripts run and no network use listed for this skill
How to trigger the skill with a natural request
You do not need a special command. Describe the business scenario in plain words and say which kind of policy you want. If you do not say whether you need a privacy policy or an internal policy, the agent will ask, because the two structures are very different.
The agent will then ask for the essentials in one go: what your business does, what data you collect and process, why you share it and with whom, where your users are, which third-party SDKs and vendors you use, your company size and any existing policies. If you are unsure about the region, say where your users are mainly.
- Privacy policy request: Write a privacy policy for our app. We are a small mobile app with accounts, and our users are mainly in the EU.
- Internal policy request: Draft an employee data-security and compliance policy for our 40-person company.
- Checklist request: Create the compliance checklist for this policy as an Excel workbook.
Review the output before you use it
Every draft is labelled as a reference draft, not legal advice. The label appears as an italic line directly under the document title, so it stays with the file if it is shared on its own.
Company name, contact details, region and effective date are left as placeholders such as [Company Name], [Contact Email] and [Effective Date]. Governing law and the regulator are left blank. You must fill these in yourself.
Commitments such as retention periods, deletion deadlines and response times are meant to be ones you can actually keep. If the agent is unsure, it uses a placeholder and flags it in its reply. Check these carefully.
- Fill in every placeholder before sharing the draft
- Confirm where your data is actually stored and the retention periods you really apply
- Confirm your full third-party SDK and vendor list before relying on the privacy policy
- Have a licensed lawyer review the document before publication or signing
What people use it for
- A small app team drafts a first-version privacy policy to send to counsel for review.
- An HR lead drafts an internal data-security policy with clauses that staff can be held to.
- A compliance lead builds a checklist that maps each check item to a specific policy clause for self-assessment.
- An operations manager drafts an anti-bribery or supplier compliance rulebook with defined approval levels.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Policy Compliance Drafter skill free to use?
The skill is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, as listed on the directory page. The source does not state any price, so check the licence terms in the repository for details of use.
Does this skill give legal advice?
No. The skill states that its output is not legal advice and that a licensed lawyer should review any draft before it is published or signed. It also does not know the specific rules of your jurisdiction.
What do I need to install the policy-compliance skill?
Download the ZIP, then unzip it into ~/.claude/skills/ or a project's .claude/skills/ folder, or upload it in the Claude apps under Settings, Capabilities, Skills. Your agent environment also needs document and spreadsheet tools to create the Word file and Excel workbook.
Does the skill need an API key or internet access?
The skill file does not name any API keys or accounts. The listing says it does not run scripts and does not use the network.
Can I use this skill to write a privacy policy for my app?
Yes. Ask for a privacy policy and describe your app, the data you collect, who you share it with and where your users are. The agent will produce a Word draft with placeholders and an Excel checklist, which you must verify and have reviewed by a lawyer.
What should I do if the draft mentions data I do not collect?
The skill is designed not to add data types or recipients you did not mention, so check your original description. If the draft is wrong, correct the inputs and ask the agent to regenerate it, because an incomplete or invented data inventory produces a misleading policy.

Our verdict
Use this skill if you need a structured first draft of a privacy or internal compliance policy plus a checklist tied to its clauses, and you have someone who can check the facts and have a lawyer review it. Pick something else if you need a publish-ready policy with no review, or if you need certainty about the specific statutes and regulators that apply to your jurisdiction.
