Start hereAsks before writing5 CoCounsel Legal tools

Use the CoCounsel Legal connector safely and well

Confirms your CoCounsel Legal access, explains which tool to use, and sets out how to upload files, verify citations and respect licensing before relying on any answer. It checks access before real work begins.

Use it when

Connecting CoCounsel Legal for the first time in Claude Desktop
Getting an access or sign-in error from the CoCounsel connector
Deciding how to upload and question a set of contracts

Tools it uses

ask_cocounsel
start_cocounsel_chat
upload_file
list_cocounsel_files
get_cocounsel_output

Example

Check my CoCounsel Legal access, then tell me how to upload three agreements and ask CoCounsel to compare them.

Your account is active on the CoCounsel Legal package, so you can proceed. Upload the three agreements first and confirm they all appear in the session file list. Then ask the comparison question in one request. Before relying on any cited case, open it at its source to confirm it says what the summary claims.

Asks before writing5 CoCounsel Legal tools

Compare contract clauses across agreements

Compares the same clauses across your uploaded agreements or document versions with CoCounsel Legal, ranking material differences in indemnity, liability and termination by consequence. It lists what it did not review and does not give a legal opinion.

Use it when

You need to see where a vendor's paper differs from your standard form
You want to know which clauses changed between two drafts of a contract
You are preparing a negotiation list of high-risk deviations across several agreements

Tools it uses

upload_file
list_cocounsel_files
start_cocounsel_chat
ask_cocounsel
get_cocounsel_output

Example

Compare the indemnity, liability cap and termination clauses in these three vendor agreements against our standard form, and rank the differences by risk.

Three agreements compared against your standard form. Two high-severity differences: Vendor B's liability cap is 12 months of fees with no carve-out for data breach, and Vendor C allows termination for convenience on 10 days' notice. Four medium and six low differences are summarised. Exhibit B (pricing) was not in the upload and is not reviewed.

Write a cited legal research memo with CoCounsel

Scopes a legal question by jurisdiction and time window, runs research through CoCounsel, and returns a memo with citations you can verify and a clear list of what was not established. Asks before sending anything beyond research.

Use it when

A new legal issue needs a first look at the governing rule.
A rule has changed and you need to know the current authority in a state.
You want to compare how two jurisdictions treat the same question.

Tools it uses

ask_cocounsel
start_cocounsel_chat

Example

With CoCounsel, research how California courts have treated non-compete agreements for executive employees since 2020. Give me a concise memo.

Scope: California, decisions from 2020 onward. Short answer: courts have generally refused to enforce broad post-employment non-competes against executives, with narrow exceptions tied to the sale of a business. Governing rule: Business and Professions Code section 16600, verified at source. Counterargument: some courts have enforced narrowly drafted non-solicitation covenants, flagged for review. Not established: subsequent history on the two appellate decisions was not checked.

How CoCounsel Legal skills work

Connect CoCounsel Legal
The CoCounsel Legal MCP server gives the agent its tools.

“Compare the indemnity, liability cap and termination clauses in these three vendor agreements against our standard form, and rank the differences by risk.” Each SKILL.md says when it applies, so only the one that fits is loaded.
Approve any change
The agent calls the tools in order, checks its work, and shows you any change before it makes it.

CoCounsel Legal skills FAQ

What is a CoCounsel Legal agent skill?

A SKILL.md file: a short playbook an AI agent loads when your request matches it. Each CoCounsel Legal skill describes one job, which CoCounsel Legal tools to use in which order, what to check first and when to stop and ask you.

Do the CoCounsel Legal skills change anything on their own?

1 of the 3 only read. The others tell the agent to show you the change and wait for a yes before it creates, edits or deletes anything in CoCounsel Legal.

Which tools can use these skills?

Any agent that reads the open Agent Skills format: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code with Copilot and RevampKey. In RevampKey they are attached when you connect CoCounsel Legal; elsewhere you copy the folders into your project or skills directory.

Do I need the CoCounsel Legal MCP server too?

Yes. The skills tell the agent how to do the work; the CoCounsel Legal MCP server gives it the tools to do it. The CoCounsel Legal MCP setup guide covers every client.
