Use when the user has a piece of legal-jargon-heavy text and wants it rewritten in plain language for a specified non-legal audience. Common scenarios — email to a business stakeholder, legal disclaimer for a customer-facing page, memo for a non-legal audience, explanation of a contract clause for a deal team, summary of a regulatory development for an executive briefing. Produces the rewritten text plus a brief explanation of what was changed and why, including any preservation-of-meaning…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Comms Improver

Rewrite legal text in plain language for a specified non-legal audience. The output preserves meaning while changing form: shorter sentences, common words instead of jargon, active voice instead of passive, concrete examples instead of abstract formulations. The skill is transformation, not drafting from scratch.

This skill is for the everyday in-house counsel task of translating between legal precision and non-legal accessibility. Lawyers spend significant time rewriting their own work — or reviewing others' rewrites — for executive readouts, sales communications, customer disclosures, deal-team briefings, and engineering specs. The skill does this rewriting (or supports the user's rewriting) while flagging where translation involved interpretation.

## When this skill applies

Apply when the user has legal-jargon-heavy text and wants it rewritten for a specified non-legal audience. Common inputs:

- Email drafts to non-legal business stakeholders.
- Contract clauses to be explained to a deal team or product team.
- Legal disclaimers to be rewritten for customer-facing surfaces.
- Memos to be summarized for executive readouts.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add legalquants/lq-ai/comms-improver@sha256:9614f50b69eb4220

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260508.eadedbb, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
