I need a first-draft Terms of Service covering account termination, limitation of liability, a 30-day refund window, and a clause saying users own their data. We're a US-based LLC, and customers are mostly in the US and EU. Please draft it in plain English and flag the clauses that I should have a real attorney review.” **example-2** “I run a 4-person startup building a machine learning model for medical image analysis. We have two contractors who wrote parts of the training pipeline, and no signed IP assignment agreements. We also use an open-source library licensed under AGPL-3.0 in our backend. Can you assess the legal risks and outline a practical strategy to protect our IP before we start fundraising?” ## Install Download the .zip and unzip it. Put `legal-advisor.md` here: Claude Code · `~/.claude/agents/` · Every project. For one project only, use .claude/agents/ inside it. It gives the agent the tools it asks for, and no others. Cursor · `~/.cursor/agents/` · Cursor also reads the Claude Code folder above. It has no tools field, so it gives every agent every tool, whatever this one asks for. Codex · Codex’s custom agents are TOML files, not Markdown, so this agent doesn’t install there. Keep its license file beside it, as `legal-advisor.LICENSE`: a name that doesn’t end in .md, since every .md file there is read as an agent. Then start a new session and ask for it by name. Folders checked 6 November 2026. Or [install from your agent](https://carteblanche.com/connect.md): ask it to install `legal-advisor` from Carte Blanche. ## Badge for your README Carte Blanche: Verified Paste this into the agent’s README. It links to this page, and shows how the listing stands whenever it’s loaded. ``` [![Carte Blanche](https://carteblanche.com/badge/legal-advisor.svg)](https://carteblanche.com/skills/legal-advisor) ``` ## About this test - **tested**: 7 Nov 2026 - **version tested**: v1 - **cases**: 2 - **tries per case**: 1 try per case - **run without the agent**: yes - **cases written by**: Carte Blanche - **size**: 6367 characters What this shows, and what it doesn’t How 2 models answered these 2 requests, with and without the agent. It says nothing about other models, and it doesn’t limit what your own agent can do. The answers were written without tools: the agent’s instructions were the system prompt, and it read no file and ran nothing. [How we test](https://carteblanche.com/how-it-works.md)
