name: policy-lawyer description: Reference the workspace policy playbook, answer "What are the rules for tone, data, and collaboration?" by searching the curated policy doc or listing its sections.

Policy Lawyer

Overview

policy-lawyer is built around the curated policy notebook at references/policies.md. The CLI (scripts/policy_lawyer.py) lets you:

• --list-topics to list every policy heading.
• --topic <name> to show the section that matches a topic (case-insensitive).
• --keyword <term> to search all policies for a given keyword.
• --policy-file <path> to point at a different policy document when comparing workspaces.

Use this skill when you need to remind yourself of the community standards before drafting announcements or when a question lands that needs an authoritative policy quote.

CLI usage

• python3 skills/policy-lawyer/scripts/policy_lawyer.py --list-topics prints every section defined under ## <Section Name> in the policy reference.
• --topic "Tone" prints the tone guidelines exactly as written so you can quote them during calm reminders.
• --keyword security (or any other keyword) shows the matching lines across all sections so you can quickly see where that topic is governed.
• Supply --policy-file /path/to/repo/references/policies.md when you want to interrogate a copy of the playbook from another workspace.

Sample commands

python3 skills/policy-lawyer/scripts/policy_lawyer.py --topic Tone
python3 skills/policy-lawyer/scripts/policy_lawyer.py --keyword data --policy-file ../other-workspace/references/policies.md

The first command prints the tone section; the second searches for "data" inside another workspace's policies and prints each matching snippet.

References

• references/policies.md is the curated policy playbook that lists tone, data, collaboration, and security rules.
