description: Use when migrating the Patrick Munro red-team verification methodology into the mini-claude-for-legal format. This adapter maps adversarial stress-testing logic for legal documents and AI-generated legal output — deliberate challenge of assumptions, identification of counter-arguments, and verification of factual and legal accuracy — into the standard skill model. Triggers when importing any red-team or adversarial-review skill attributed to the Munro approach.

Import: Red Team Verifier (Patrick Munro)

What it does

This import adapter migrates a red-team verification skill modelled on the Patrick Munro methodology into the mini-claude-for-legal standard format. Red-teaming in the legal context means deliberately challenging the document, analysis, or argument under review — as a sophisticated adversary would — to surface weaknesses before they are exploited by a counterparty, court, or regulator.

The Munro red-team approach applies to three contexts:

1. Document red-teaming: stress-testing a contract, legal opinion, or regulatory submission against the strongest objections
2. AI output verification: challenging Claude-generated legal analysis to detect hallucinations, unsupported conclusions, and jurisdiction errors
3. Argument red-teaming: testing the legal arguments in a brief or submission against the opposition's best counter-arguments

Red-team methodology (post-import)

Level 1 — Surface challenges

• What is the weakest factual assertion in the document?
• What is the most ambiguous term or provision?
• What is the most one-sided clause?

Level 2 — Legal challenges

• What statutory or regulatory provision most directly undermines the position?
• What is the strongest precedent (or closest analogy) the opponent would cite?
• Where does the document fail to comply with a mandatory legal requirement?

Level 3 — Strategic challenges

• What procedural or jurisdictional argument could be used to challenge enforcement?
• What counterparty behaviour could make this document unenforceable?
• What change in circumstances (economic, regulatory, political) would destroy the basis for this position?

AI output verification track

When verifying AI-generated legal analysis:

1. Citation check: verify every statute, article number, and case citation against known reliable sources. Flag any citation that cannot be verified — it may be a hallucination.
2. Jurisdiction check: verify that every legal proposition is attributed to the correct jurisdiction and legal system (common law vs civil law; onshore vs DIFC/ADGM).
3. Date check: verify that cited legislation is in force as of the relevant date; check for recent amendments.
4. Internal consistency check: verify that conclusions follow from premises; flag logical gaps.
5. Completeness check: are there mandatory requirements or standard clauses missing that a practitioner would expect?

MENA-specific red-team flags

• Arabic language prevailing clause: if a bilingual contract's Arabic version differs from the English version, the Arabic governs in UAE/KSA — challenge any analysis based solely on the English text.
• Shariah-compliance assumption: challenge any financial provision not reviewed for Shariah compliance in KSA or conservative UAE contexts.
• Notarisation requirement: challenge enforceability of contracts in Lebanon or UAE civil jurisdictions where the transaction type requires notarial form.
• DIFC/ADGM jurisdiction validity: challenge whether the parties actually have a legitimate connection to justify DIFC/ADGM governing law.
