# CoCounsel Legal agent skills for Claude Code, Cursor and RevampKey

> Ready-made CoCounsel Legal playbooks for AI agents: compare contract clauses across agreements, write a cited legal research memo with CoCounsel. Free SKILL.md files for Claude Code, Cursor and Codex, or one click in RevampKey.

## Skills

- [Use the CoCounsel Legal connector safely and well](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/cocounsel-legal/skills/essentials.md): 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.
- [Compare contract clauses across agreements](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/cocounsel-legal/skills/contract-clause-comparison.md): 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.
- [Write a cited legal research memo with CoCounsel](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/cocounsel-legal/skills/legal-research-memo.md): 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.

### 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.
