Documentation
Full READMEBox Agent Skills
Agent Skills help AI assistants work with Box: find and organize content, support legal document workflows, and build or troubleshoot Box integrations. Each skill provides instructions for a specific kind of task, from client intake to SDK development and bulk operations.
The skills follow the Agent Skills format and can be installed individually or through a platform plugin. Installing instructions does not connect your assistant to Box; authorize Box access separately when your task needs it.
Available Skills
| Skill | When to use it | |---|---| | `box` | Start with general Box tasks, choose the appropriate tools, and troubleshoot authentication or access errors. | | `box-cli` | Run Box CLI commands, automate shell workflows, and manage bulk operations and recovery. | | `box-mcp` | Connect an assistant to Box's hosted MCP server, discover available tools, and complete Box content operations. | | `box-sdk-development` | Build or debug application code using official Box SDKs, with guidance for Python and TypeScript/Node. | | `box-integration-best-practices` | Review or improve Box integrations for efficient API calls, resumable bulk work, and rate-limit handling. | | `box-legal-workflows` | Supply shared guidance for the legal skills: collaboration roles, AI boundaries, and human review. | | `box-legal-workflows-intake` | Check intake submissions against firm requirements, extract matter details, route attorney review, and prepare engagement letters. | | `box-legal-workflows-contract` | Compare contracts with approved templates, produce cited variance reports, capture metadata, and monitor renewals or expirations. | | `box-legal-workflows-ma` | Build and manage M&A data rooms, scope access, and answer due diligence questions with document citations. |
For application code, use box-sdk-development; for command-line work, use box-cli; for operations through a Box MCP connection, use box-mcp. Pair integration work with box-integration-best-practices when efficiency, bulk processing, or throttling matters.
The intake, contract, and M&A skills require both box and box-legal-workflows. The shared legal skill supports those workflows. Firms supply the checklists, templates, and review criteria; attorneys make legal and risk determinations.
