Legal Toolkit

Legal Toolkit

A Claude Code plugin with 31 legal productivity skills -- document processing, criminal defense workflows, firm operations, and client management. Covers everything from document summarization and audio transcription to motion drafting, intake call scoring, case strategy playbooks, and attorney workload analysis.

All processing is 100% local -- no data leaves your machine.
