Works out which documents you have to hand over to the other side in a civil case in England & Wales, and builds the formal list. The part it gets right that trips people up is which disclosure regime applies — Practice Direction 57AD (the Disclosure Pilot, now permanent in the Business and Property Courts, with its Models A–E) or standard disclosure under CPR Part 31 everywhere else. It picks the regime, chooses a Model per issue, structures the Disclosure Review Document, and drafts the disclosure certificate for the party to sign personally. Built for litigation juniors, in-house counsel, and small teams without a precedent bank. Use when the user says 'disclosure list', 'PD 57AD', 'Model C', 'extended disclosure', 'List of Documents', 'N265', or needs to work out what must be disclosed.
disclosure-list
Works out which documents you have to hand over to the other side in a civil case in England & Wales, and builds the formal list — getting right the bit that trips people up: which disclosure regime applies.
In the Business and Property Courts that's the Disclosure Pilot under Practice Direction 57AD (now permanent, with its Models A–E); everywhere else it's standard disclosure under CPR Part 31. Ask a general tool for "a disclosure list" and it'll usually default to old CPR 31 and miss PD 57AD entirely. For litigation juniors, in-house counsel, and small teams without a precedent bank: this picks the regime, selects a Model per issue, structures the Disclosure Review Document, and drafts the certificate as scaffolding for the party to sign personally.
Install
Part of the claude-for-uk-legal plugin suite:
/plugin marketplace add https://github.com/b1rdmania/claude-for-uk-legal

Or install the single skill directly:
cp -r disclosure-list ~/.claude/skills/disclosure-list
Usage
/disclosure-list
/disclosure-list --regime=pd57ad --model=C
/disclosure-list --regime=cpr31
Run it against a matter with the court/division, the issues for disclosure, custodians, data sources, date range, and privilege scope. It identifies the regime, selects the Extended Disclosure Model(s) per issue, and returns the drafted list.
Example: a Commercial Court claim where you give the issues for disclosure, the four custodians, the data sources (Outlook, Teams, a shared drive, WhatsApp), and the date range. It returns a Disclosure Review Document with a model per issue, a custodian/source/keyword table, and a draft Disclosure Certificate marked as scaffolding.
What it does
- Identifies the regime — PD 57AD for the Business and Property Courts (Commercial, Chancery, TCC, Circuit Commercial, IP, Financial List), CPR Part 31 everywhere else.
- Selects PD 57AD Extended Disclosure Models A–E per issue, with Model C as the default and Model E reserved for exceptional cases.
- Maps custodians, data sources, date ranges, and keywords into a search methodology, including TAR/predictive-coding disclosure.
- Flags privilege candidates by category — legal advice, litigation, without prejudice, common interest.
- Builds the output: an N265-structured List of Documents (three parts) under CPR 31, or a simplified Disclosure Review Document under PD 57AD.
- Marks every uncertain point inline —
[REGIME],[PRIVILEGE],[GDPR],[SME VERIFY]— so nothing reads as settled.
What it doesn't do
- Run the search. It scopes and lists; the search happens outside the model and must actually be performed before any list or statement is certified.
- Decide privilege. It flags candidates by description; counsel reviews every flagged document and makes the call.
- Produce an executed certificate. The Disclosure Statement (CPR 31.10) and the PD 57AD Disclosure Certificate are signed personally by the party — the model drafts scaffolding behind a DRAFT banner, it does not make the certification.
- Invent documents. Every entry traces to a real input you supplied.
- Cover Scottish or Northern Irish procedure (Commission and Diligence; Schedule 1 RCS), or family proceedings.
- Give legal advice. It is a drafting aid; verify the scope, the search, and the privilege calls with counsel before serving any output.
Requirements
- Claude Code or Claude Cowork. No MCP connectors required.
- A matter to run against — court/division, issues, custodians, sources, date range, and privilege scope.
