[legal] Add jurisdiction disclaimer to README - default examples use U.S. law #30
Description
Problem
The Legal Productivity Plugin README currently includes a general disclaimer about legal advice, but doesn't clearly indicate that the default playbook examples are specific to United States legal positions and jurisdictions.
The Quick Start section provides example playbook configurations that reference:
- U.S. jurisdictions (New York, Delaware, California, England & Wales)
- U.S. privacy regulations (CCPA)
- U.S.-style contract terms and negotiation positions
For users outside the U.S. (e.g., EU, UK, Asia-Pacific, Latin America), this could create confusion or risk if they don't realize extensive customization is required before the plugin can safely provide jurisdiction-appropriate guidance.
Suggested Solution
Add a clear jurisdiction notice in the README, ideally:
- In or near the existing disclaimer section at the top
- Before or within the "Quick Start" section where the playbook examples are shown
Proposed wording:
⚠️ Jurisdiction Notice: The default playbook examples in this plugin reflect U.S. legal positions and jurisdictions (Delaware, New York, California). If you operate under different legal systems (EU, UK, Netherlands, Australia, etc.), you must customize the playbook in.claude/legal.local.mdto reflect your jurisdiction's specific legal requirements, standard contract terms, and compliance obligations before relying on the plugin's analysis.
Context
I'm evaluating this plugin for use with Dutch general terms and conditions under Netherlands law. The plugin looks very powerful, but I initially didn't realize the examples were U.S.-centric until reading through the full playbook configuration carefully. A clear notice would help international users understand the customization requirement upfront.
Benefits
- Sets appropriate expectations for international users
- Reduces risk of misapplication in non-U.S. jurisdictions
- Complements the existing legal advice disclaimer
- Minimal documentation change with high safety impact
