# Epistemic Fault-Line Audit ## What this skill does This skill reviews legal AI material before it is trusted, installed, published, cited, or used with a client. It does not decide the legal issue. It checks whether the output is grounded enough to rely on, or whether it is merely fluent. Use it for legal memos, contract reviews, litigation drafts, compliance reports, prompts, third-party skills, MCP/tool instructions, agent workflows, or benchmark answers. ## Audit checklist Assess seven fault lines: 1.

Causality: does it explain why one fact or rule leads to the stated consequence? 6. Metacognition: does it mark uncertainty, abstain when needed, and list verification gaps? 7. Values: does it identify the legal, ethical or institutional principles behind the recommendation?

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add lawve-ai/awesome-legal-skills --skill epistemic-fault-line-audit-adrian-lerer --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From lawve-ai/awesome-legal-skills, a repository with 618 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
