modbender 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-topicsto 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-topicsprints 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.mdwhen 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.
