Figures from each repo's GitHub metadata at analysis time.
Each plugin needs a 10 to 20 minute cold-start interview to write CLAUDE.md, skipping it is the main reason outputs come out generic.
Claude for Legal, Chinese law edition, is a Chinese localized fork of Anthropic's claude-for-legal repository. It packages a set of reference Claude agents, skills, and data connectors for the everyday tasks Chinese lawyers and in-house legal teams handle: commercial contracts, privacy and data, product compliance, mergers and acquisitions, employment, dispute resolution, regulatory compliance, AI governance, intellectual property, legal education, and law firm operations. The contents can be used in two ways. You can install the plugins inside Anthropic's Claude Code tool, where commands like /plugin install commercial-legal@claude-for-legal-zh add a plugin and a cold-start interview command sets it up for your practice. Or you can deploy the same system prompts and skills behind your own workflow engine using the Claude Managed Agents API. The cold-start interview, which takes 10 to 20 minutes per plugin, writes a profile file called CLAUDE.md that the other skills read from, so skipping it is the most common reason outputs come out generic. The project is presented as a Chinese law port, not a translation. The README lists a swap table where US references such as the UCC, FLSA, FRCP, USPTO, Delaware law, GDPR, and CCPA are replaced with Chinese counterparts: the Civil Code contract book, the Labor Contract Law, the Civil Procedure Law, the Personal Information Protection Law, the Trademark, Patent and Copyright Laws, the Company Law of 2024, and so on. It also lists rule upgrades over the original, such as a six dimension risk scoring method, a dual axis risk assessment that separates legal risk from commercial friction, and a three round retrieval strategy. The repo ships a yuandian MCP connector for case and statute search, plus ten domain reference files covering core rules and high frequency provisions so users without a knowledge base can still cite the underlying statutes. The README states clearly that all outputs are drafting aids for a lawyer to review, not legal advice. The project is Apache 2.0 licensed.
