What it does

This skill walks you through a setup interview the first time you use the AI governance legal plugin. It asks about your role, company, the regulations that apply, and your AI policies, vendor agreements, and impact assessments, then saves a summary of that practice profile to a config file. Other skills in the plugin read this file so they don't have to ask the same questions again. It can run a quick version or a fuller one.

Great for

  • Legal or compliance staff setting up the claude-for-legal AI governance plugin for the first time
  • Teams that want their AI policy, vendor AI terms and impact assessment format reflected in later drafting work
  • Users re-checking which MCP connectors (Slack, document storage, scheduled tasks) are actually working

Skip it if

  • People who are not running AI governance work; the skill itself points them to a different plugin, and the setup would add little value
  • Anyone who would paste confidential vendor contracts or internal policies into a session without checking where that content is stored and who can access it, since the skill reads documents you provide and writes a summary to your home directory
  • Users expecting a fully verified integration check from configuration files alone; the skill explicitly does not treat declared connectors as working

Try asking

  • “Set up ai governance plugin”
  • “Onboard me to the AI governance legal tools”
  • “Configure ai governance, quick version”
  • “Run --check-integrations after connecting Slack”

Get better results

  • Choose the quick path first (about 2 minutes) and upgrade later with --full, rather than answering the full 15-minute interview at once
  • Confirm the project-scope warning carefully; install user-scoped if you want the plugin to read documents in Downloads or Documents
  • Treat any ✓ integration status as confirmed only after a real connector call; ⚪ means configured but untested
