name: import-legal-risk-assessment-anthropic
description: Use when migrating a legal risk-assessment skill originally authored for the Anthropic Claude API into the mini-claude-for-legal format. The adapter maps legacy risk-scoring matrices, issue taxonomies, severity buckets, and remediation guidance into the standard skill model. Supports multi-jurisdictional risk frameworks covering MENA (UAE, KSA, LB, EG), EU, UK, and France.

Import: Legal Risk Assessment (Anthropic)

What it does

This import adapter migrates a legal risk-assessment skill originally built for Anthropic's Claude API into the mini-claude-for-legal standard format. Legal risk-assessment skills sit at the core of any AI-assisted legal workflow: they identify legal exposure in contracts, transactions, regulatory submissions, or operational processes, score each issue by severity and likelihood, and recommend remediation.

The Anthropic-native implementation may have used a flat system-prompt with a bespoke risk taxonomy, a JSON schema for structured output, or a chain-of-thought prompt. This adapter detects the shape and maps it forward.

Import config

Field	Source mapping	Default if absent
risk_taxonomy	Legacy categories or risk_types	8-category legal taxonomy (see below)
severity_scale	Legacy severity field	HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW
likelihood_scale	Legacy likelihood field	HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW
risk_matrix	Legacy matrix object	3×3 (severity × likelihood)
output_schema	Legacy format	structured_markdown_table
remediation_guidance	Legacy recommendations boolean	true
jurisdiction	Legacy jurisdiction	__multi__
scope_limit	Legacy scope note	None (full document scope)

Dry-run preview

IMPORT PREVIEW — legal-risk-assessment-anthropic
Source shape  : Anthropic risk-assessment system prompt
Risk taxonomy : 8-category (contract / regulatory / litigation / IP / data /
                employment / corporate / financial)
Matrix        : 3×3 severity × likelihood
Output        : structured markdown table + narrative summary
Remediation   : enabled
Jurisdiction  : __multi__

Default risk taxonomy (8 categories)

When the legacy config did not define risk categories, the adapter seeds:

#	Category	Description
1	Contract risk	Unfavourable terms, missing clauses, enforceability gaps
2	Regulatory / compliance risk	Non-compliance with applicable statutes or regulations
3	Litigation risk	Exposure to claims, disputes, or enforcement action
4	IP risk	Ownership uncertainty, infringement exposure, licensing gaps
5	Data protection risk	GDPR / PDPL / local privacy-law violations
6	Employment risk	Labour-law non-compliance, wrongful termination exposure
7	Corporate / governance risk	Director duties, shareholder rights, constitutional issues
8	Financial / credit risk	Payment default, security gaps, guarantee exposure

Risk matrix (default 3×3)

	HIGH likelihood	MEDIUM likelihood	LOW likelihood
HIGH severity	CRITICAL	HIGH	MEDIUM
MEDIUM severity	HIGH	MEDIUM	LOW
LOW severity	MEDIUM	LOW	NEGLIGIBLE

Output schema (post-import)

## Legal Risk Assessment

| # | Issue | Category | Severity | Likelihood | Risk Level | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | [issue description] | Contract | HIGH | MEDIUM | HIGH | [action] |

### Summary
Overall risk profile: [HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW]
Critical issues: [count]
Immediate action required: [list]

MENA jurisdictional risk flags

The imported skill surfaces these MENA-specific risks automatically:

• UAE onshore: penalty clauses disproportionate to actual damage may be reduced by courts under UAE Civil Transactions Law; flag if liquidated damages exceed a plausible estimate of actual loss.
• KSA: Shariah-compliance check required for interest (riba) provisions; late-payment clauses must use agreed compensation formulae, not compound interest.
• Lebanon: macro-economic instability creates FX risk in USD-denominated contracts payable locally; flag currency and force-majeure provisions.
• DIFC / ADGM: common-law jurisdiction; English-law concepts of penalty clauses apply; check for exclusions of consequential loss.
• Egypt: Civil Code Art 224 allows courts to reduce or increase agreed penalties; assess proportionality.

Failure modes

Error	Likely cause	Resolution
taxonomy_not_mapped	Legacy used custom category names	Auto-map to nearest standard category + flag for review
matrix_missing	No risk matrix in source	Apply default 3×3
output_unstructured	Legacy output was free-form narrative	Wrap in structured table post-import
jurisdiction_mismatch	Source assumed US law	Flag MENA-specific differences
