Lawpatch: Legal Preflight for Codebases
A local code scanner that finds legal-risk signals, matches them to precedent across four markets, and turns findings into fixes for coding agents.
Field notes
Lawpatch connects a repository through an npx command, asks which markets and business model apply, and runs detectors locally or in CI. The displayed workflow scans 1,284 files and flags examples such as PII in logs, session replay, LLM calls, and subscription logic. Its sample report matches findings against named precedents including Fashion ID and Planet49, while the shown outbound payload contains derived identifiers rather than source contents.
