Keel Legal — legal lane router (optional vertical)
Index, not an implementation. Thin by design — optional vertical; skip unless you do legal work.
Deference — keel-v2 is the arbiter
Legal drafting is often the no-artifact/FAST lane, but anything that sends, files, or executes a document trips surface 6 (irreversibility) → HEAVY, and the harness send/publish gate applies: draft, then stop for the human to send. PII in legal docs (surface 3) is routine — handle under HEAVY.
Dispatch table
| When the task is… | Dispatch to | Type | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Contract review/drafting, corporate, privacy, employment, IP, litigation, regulatory (~12 practice areas, 90+ agents) | claude-for-legal | plugin | anthropics/claude-for-legal |
Guardrail
Not legal advice. This lane assists with drafting and review; it is not a substitute for a licensed attorney, and it never files or sends on its own.
If not installed
Optional, off by default. Install: ./install.sh legal.

Grouped from the skills themselves: near-identical wordings counted once, and counted by distinct author, so one author publishing three of these counts once. Length counted with cl100k_base; the agent that loads this file may tokenize it differently.
