form-generation — Claude Code skill: what it does, how to install
Deprecated legal form generation skill from claude-for-legal. It acts as a migration redirect pointing to the /draft command.
npx skills add anthropics/claude-for-legal --skill form-generation -a claude-codeWhat form-generation does
This skill originated in the claude-for-legal repository, but version 2 folded it directly into draft. It remains in the project solely as a redirect for migration.
The /draft command now handles initial clinic document drafting and form population. It supports practice-area templates with jurisdiction-aware formatting, covering asylum applications, eviction answers, and protective order petitions.
Because user-invocable is set to false, calling this skill directly fails. Switch directly to /draft [document type].
What it helps with
- draft an asylum application
- prepare an eviction answer
- generate a protective order petition
- migrate legacy workflows to the /draft command
Example prompts for the agent
- /draft asylum application
- /draft eviction answer
- /draft protective order petition
