Legal & Policy Pack scaffolding for BlackRoad OS. This pack provides structured templates, workflows, and issue-spotting helpers to support legal operations teams. It is not legal advice and does not form an attorney–client relationship.

What this pack offers

• Agent stubs for contract drafting support, policy stewardship, and compliance flagging.
• Workflows for contract reviews, DPA risk assessments, and policy updates.
• Templates for MSAs, privacy policies, terms of service, and DPA checklists.
• Documentation emphasizing human counsel oversight.

Strong disclaimers

• This pack is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice.
• Outputs are drafts, outlines, and issue-spotting prompts only.
• Always engage licensed counsel for final language, compliance determinations, and enforceability.

BlackRoad OS fit

• Works with blackroad-os-docs for hosting policy and terms artifacts.
• Aligns with blackroad-os-archive for managing signed agreements and related assets.
• Integrates with blackroad-os-api to run workflows via operators or services.

Registering the pack

1. Publish or reference pack.yaml in your Pack Index.
2. Ensure dependent packs (blackroad-os-core, blackroad-os-docs) are available.
3. Enable the agents in your Agent Catalog using the accompanying .agent.yaml files.

Running workflows

• Contract review:

  await operatorClient.startWorkflow("legal_contract_review", {
    draft_contract_text,
  });

• DPA risk assessment: provide the DPA checklist data to legal_dpa_risk_assessment.
• Policy update: supply old and new policy structures to legal_policy_update to generate change summaries and communication plans.

Testing

• Install dependencies and run tests:
  • npm install then npm test
  • npm run lint:schemas and npm run lint:workflows
  • pip install -r requirements.txt then pytest

Sample outputs

• Contract outline (snippet):

  {
    "parties": {"customerName": "Example Corp", "providerName": "Service Co"},
    "sections": ["Scope of Services", "Term & Termination", "Fees & Payment"],
    "counsel_questions": ["Are exclusivity terms acceptable for the business context?"]
  }

• Policy change summary (snippet):

  {"added": ["retention"], "modified": [{"field": "data", "from": "collected", "to": "updated"}]}

Always route final decisions and drafting to qualified counsel.

BlackRoad OS · Legal Pack

LegalPack-Gen-0 scaffolds contracts, compliance policies, helper agents, and workflow templates for BlackRoad OS deployments.

Quickstart

pnpm install
pnpm br-legal list
pnpm br-legal render nda -v party_a="BlackRoad OS, Inc." -v party_b="Client" -v date="2025-11-24"

Render workflow templates via Liquid variables (note: .hbs extension is used for workflow templates, but only Liquid syntax is supported):

pnpm ts-node lib/renderWorkflow.ts workflows/contract-signature.yaml.hbs > .github/workflows/sign.yml

Features

• Contract templates with Liquid variables under /contracts
• Policy documents in /policies with MDX front matter
• TypeScript agents to render contracts, diff versions, and lint policies
• GitHub Actions workflow templates to automate signatures and compliance audits
• CLI br-legal for listing templates, rendering, diffing, and linting

Directory Layout

• contracts/ — NDA, MSA, and license templates
• policies/ — privacy, terms of service, and export compliance
• agents/ — render, diff, and lint helpers
• lib/ — Liquid renderer and metadata schema
• workflows/ — GitHub Actions templates with required secrets and reviewers
• src/cli.ts — CLI entrypoint
• .github/workflows/ci.yml — linting and unit test automation

Development

• pnpm lint to run markdownlint, Prettier, and ESLint
• pnpm format to auto-format
• pnpm test for unit tests (placeholder)
• pnpm postbuild writes public/sig.beacon.json with the current timestamp

Roadmap

• TODO(legal-pack-next): add e-signature webhook, AI clause recommender, and USPTO filing agent integrations.

💼⚖️ blackroad-os-pack-legal

Legal & Compliance Pack – workflows, checklists, and tooling for legal/compliance flows inside BlackRoad OS.

---

🎯 Mission

• Provide legal + compliance superpowers as a modular Pack in BlackRoad OS.
• Encode repeatable legal workflows (reviews, approvals, archiving) that plug into core, infra, and agents.
• Keep all legal-ish stuff structured, traceable, and automation-friendly (but never DIY law).

🏗️ What This Pack Owns ✅

⚖️ Legal/Compliance Workflows

• Issue/PR labeling rules for "needs legal review", "comms sign-off", etc. 🏷️
• Flows for policy updates, terms changes, disclaimers, and notices 📜
• Approval steps & state machines for sensitive changes ☑️➡️✅

📓 Templates & Checklists

• Templates for policies (privacy, terms, usage, security overview) 📄
• Checklists for launching new features/products in regulated contexts ✅
• Intake forms for legal review requests (who, what, risk level, deadline) 🧾

🤖 Agent Hooks

• Definitions for "legal support" agents (triage helper, checklist enforcer, archive pinger) 🤖
• Rules they follow: what they can suggest vs what must be human-reviewed 🧍‍♀️
• Outputs they generate (summaries, risk flags, routing suggestions) 📡

📊 Integration Glue

How legal workflows show up in:

• blackroad-os-prism-console as "legal/compliance views" 🕹️
• blackroad-os-archive for audit logs & final artifacts 🧾
• blackroad-os-operator jobs (e.g., "collect all artifacts for this launch") ⚙️

🧪 Testing / Safety

For Automation Logic / State Machines

• ✅ Tests for each state transition (requested → in review → approved/rejected → archived) 🔁
• ✅ Tests that ensure required approvals exist before "complete" ✅
• ✅ Tests that agents can't auto-complete flows that require human sign-off 🚫🤖

For Templates & Config

• 🧪 Validate schema (fields present, types correct)
• 🧪 Ensure links/IDs refer to real repos/workflows where possible

---

🔐 Compliance Guardrails (IMPORTANT)

This Pack supports legal/compliance work; it does not replace lawyers:

• ⚠️ Clearly mark any content that is example only vs actual policy text.
• 🧾 Ensure key outputs flow to blackroad-os-archive for auditability.
• 🔑 Do not store real privileged legal memos; store references and metadata.

High-Risk Flow Markers

Any flow that touches:

• 💰 Finance, trading, custody
• 🪪 Identity, KYC, personal data
• ⚖️ Regulatory filings or attestations

MUST be marked clearly, e.g.:

// HIGH-RISK LEGAL FLOW – HUMAN APPROVAL REQUIRED

---

📏 Design Principles

blackroad-os-pack-legal = legal/compliance layer as a product Pack:

• 💼 It plugs into OS like any other Pack (Finance, Education, etc.).
• 🧭 It defines workflows, templates, configs – not infrastructure.

Each workflow or template should answer:

1. 1️⃣ When is this used? (launch, marketing, policy change, incident, etc.)
2. 2️⃣ Who must be involved? (roles/teams, not specific names)
3. 3️⃣ What must be true before it's considered "done" and safe?

🎯 Success Criteria

If a new operator/agent responsible for legal/compliance lands here, they should be able to:

1. 1️⃣ See the standard legal/compliance workflows wired into BlackRoad OS.
2. 2️⃣ Understand which flows require mandatory human approval.
3. 3️⃣ Know how artifacts end up in archive + dashboards for audit and review.

---

🚀 Getting Started

1. Review the workflows/ directory for available legal workflow definitions
2. Check templates/ for policy and checklist templates
3. See agents/ for agent hook configurations
4. Review integrations/ for how this pack connects to other BlackRoad OS components
