## What it does

The skill drafts proposed edits to resolve compliance gaps flagged by `/regulatory-legal:gaps` or `/regulatory-legal:policy-diff`. It combines the identified gap, the current approved policy text, and the applicable regulatory rule into a structured redraft memo. Granularity stays minimal: the skill cuts words before sentences and sentences before full sections.

Every proposal is strictly non-destructive. Output is written to a distinct file matching `[policy-name]-proposed-redraft-[YYYY-MM-DD].md` rather than overwriting the source document. The agent declines requests to apply changes directly or close tracker items. That guardrail ensures policy owners retain final review authority.

Before generating text, the skill checks whether the underlying legal rule remains in force. If currency cannot be confirmed, it inserts a `⚠️ RULE STATUS UNVERIFIED` warning banner. Any unverified citations or dates carry explicit `[verify]` tags.

```bash
npx skills add anthropics/claude-for-legal --skill policy-redraft -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/policy-redraft/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/policy-redraft/

### Codex

## When to use it
- draft minimal marked-up edits for policy sections affected by regulatory gaps
- generate proposal memos without modifying approved source policy files
- flag unverified regulatory citations and effective dates with verification tags
- warn reviewers when a governing rule status cannot be confirmed

## Example prompts
- redraft the policy to fix the gap described in `GAP-ID`
- draft the policy fix based on the latest diff output
- mark up the policy for data retention requirements

name: policy-redraft
description: Produce a proposed marked-up policy redraft that closes a gap found by /regulatory-legal:gaps or /regulatory-legal:policy-diff. A first draft for internal review — not for direct application to approved policy documents. Use when the user says "redraft the policy", "draft the policy fix", "mark up the policy", or when gap-surfacer hands off a gap for drafting.

# /policy-redraft

1. Load `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/regulatory-legal/CLAUDE.md` → policy library index + practice profile.
2. Use the workflow below.
3. Gather inputs: the gap (from `/regulatory-legal:gaps` output or described directly), the current approved policy text, the rule text.
4. Verify the rule is current (per the policy-diff rule-status check). If you can't verify, emit the `⚠️ RULE STATUS UNVERIFIED` banner.
5. Produce a marked-up redraft of the affected policy section(s) — smallest-possible edit, `[verify]` tags carried through, inline comments explaining WHY each change was made.
6. Output a Policy Redraft Memo. Write it to a new file named `[policy-name]-proposed-redraft-[YYYY-MM-DD].md` — never write to the source policy document.
7. Do NOT close the gap in the tracker. The gap closes when the redraft is applied AND approved, which is the policy owner's action.

> This skill produces a **proposal**, not an edit. It writes to a new file with a clearly-marked draft filename. It never writes over a source policy document, and it never closes a gap in the tracker — the gap closes when the redraft is applied AND approved by the policy owner.

## Matter context

**Matter context.** Check `## Matter workspaces` in the practice-level CLAUDE.md. If `Enabled` is `✗` (the default for in-house users), skip the rest of this paragraph — skills use practice-level context and the matter machinery is invisible. If enabled and there is no active matter, ask: "Which matter is this for? Run `/regulatory-legal:matter-workspace switch <slug>` or say `practice-level`." Load the active matter's `matter.md` for matter-specific context and overrides. Write outputs to the matter folder at `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/regulatory-legal/matters/<matter-slug>/`. Never read another matter's files unless `Cross-matter context` is `on`.

---

## Purpose

Gap-surfacer finds the gap. Policy-diff names what needs to change. This skill takes the next step and produces a marked-up redraft of the affected policy section — small, specific, flagged — as a first draft for the policy owner's review.
