⚠ This skill is no longer available upstream. Our re-check on Aug 10, 2026 couldn't find it any more (SKILL.md not found in repo tree). The test below is what we measured on Jul 21, 2026 and we're leaving it up as a record — but there is nothing left to install, so we've removed the command.
Fetched SKILL.md (dir canned-response-generator-anthropic) plus README.md and LICENSE.txt (both HTTP 200); it is a self-contained prompt skill referencing no external scripts, no security smells. Trigger test: 3 in-scope phrasings (draft a DSR response, send a litigation-hold notice, build a standard NDA cover template) all load it; 2 adjacent ones (redline a 40-page MSA for risky indemnities; "what's our legal position if sued") correctly do not — 5/5. Output test: same DSR from a former employee in active wrongful-termination litigation — baseline produced a routine access-request acknowledgment with a 30-day timeline, while the skill artifact halted, named the matched escalation triggers ("requester in active litigation", "employee with active HR matter"), refused a final template, and returned a "DRAFT - FOR COUNSEL REVIEW ONLY" with a litigation-hold/legal-claims-exemption caution. README is a one-line copy of the description — accurate, not oversold, but thin.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 8/10
- Docs & honesty 4/5
What Canned Responses Anthropic does
A pure-prompt skill for in-house legal teams that drafts templated responses to routine inquiries — data subject requests, litigation holds, NDA requests, vendor questions, subpoenas, insurance notices — using structured template metadata and variable placeholders. Before generating, it checks category-specific and universal escalation triggers and, when one fires, refuses the template and returns a counsel-review-only draft instead. Triggers when responding to routine legal questions or managing response templates.
How to install Canned Responses Anthropic
