## What it does

The `legal` skill walks indie Apple developers through generating legal documents. It asks about your data collection, third-party SDKs and target regions, then produces Markdown with app-specific placeholders filled in. Along the way it maps GDPR, CCPA, DPDP and COPPA requirements and helps you fill in the App Store Privacy Nutrition Labels.

Two sub-skills do the work. `privacy-policy/` builds the documents and suggests where to host them — GitHub Pages, your own site, or inside the app. `privacy-publish/` pushes the finished pages live and sets the Privacy Policy and Support URLs in App Store Connect through the ASC API, with a dry run first. The skill can use `Read`, `Glob`, `Grep` and `AskUserQuestion`, so it reads your project and asks questions rather than writing files on its own.

That ASC API step is the one to watch. The dry run shows which URLs would land in App Store Connect, and you want to see that list before letting the real call through. Nearby skills cover the rest of the compliance surface: `generators/consent-flow` for consent UI, `generators/account-deletion` for the App Store account deletion requirement, `generators/permission-priming` for ATT priming.

## When to use it
- generate a privacy policy that matches your app's data collection
- draft terms of service and a EULA for App Store submission
- work out what GDPR, CCPA or DPDP requires from your app
- refresh legal documents after adding analytics, ads or tracking
- publish the pages and set the URLs in App Store Connect

## Example prompts

# Legal Document Generation & Compliance

Legal document generation and compliance guidance for indie Apple developers. Generate privacy policies, terms of service, and EULAs tailored to your app's data practices and target markets.

## When This Skill Activates

Use this skill when the user:
- Needs a privacy policy for their app
- Needs terms of service or EULA
- Asks about legal compliance for App Store submission
- Mentions GDPR, CCPA, DPDP, or COPPA compliance
- Wants to update legal documents after adding analytics, ads, or tracking
- Asks about Apple's privacy requirements or Privacy Nutrition Labels
- Needs legal document hosting guidance (GitHub Pages, in-app, website)

## Available Skills

### privacy-policy/
Generate privacy policies, terms of service, and EULAs tailored to your app's data collection practices, third-party SDKs, and target regions. Includes Apple Privacy Nutrition Label mapping and hosting guidance.

### privacy-publish/
Publish the generated legal pages to hosted URLs and set the App Store Connect Privacy Policy / Support URLs via the ASC API (dry-run first).

## How to Use

1. User requests legal documents or compliance guidance
2. Read `privacy-policy/SKILL.md` for the full generation workflow
3. The skill will ask configuration questions about data practices
4. Documents are generated in Markdown with app-specific placeholders filled in
