Skills (16)

• build-guide

  Help a clinic supervisor author a practice-area guide that configures how student-facing skills behave — intake questions, pedagogy posture (assist / guide / teach), review gates, cross-plugin checks, and local rules. Use when a supervising attorney wants to build or revise a per-practice-area guide

• client-comms-log

  Log a client communication — call, email, text, letter, in-person, voicemail. Append-only per-case record with dated entries, direction, medium, summary, action items. Works alongside /client-letter and /status client. Use when logging a call or client email, reviewing a communication log, or asking

• client-intake

  Structured intake — practice-area templates, cross-area issue spotting, conflict flags, and triage classification. Produces a formatted case summary the student analyzes and the professor reviews. Does NOT decide case acceptance. Use when starting a new client intake, running an intake interview, or

• client-letter

  Routine client correspondence from templates — appointment confirmations, document requests, brief "we filed it" updates. Plain language, required elements, supervision routing. NOT substantive advice. Use when a student needs to send routine correspondence, an appointment confirmation, a document r

• cold-start-interview

  Professor's one-time clinic setup — practice areas, jurisdiction, supervision style (formal review queue / configurable flags / lighter-touch), and handbook/rules upload. Writes CLAUDE.md so every other skill and every student who runs /ramp reads from the same clinic context. Use on fresh install,

• customize

  Guided customization of your legal clinic profile — change one thing without re-running the whole cold-start interview. Adjust clinic profile, jurisdiction, supervision style, practice-area templates, semester configuration, or output safeguards. Use when the user says "change my [thing]", "new seme

• deadlines

  Track case deadlines — add, cross-case rollup report, update, complete, close. Warns at configurable thresholds (default 14/7/3/1 days); overdue items stay flagged until resolved. The operational record for a clinic workload. Use when a student or supervisor needs to add a deadline, ask what's due t

• draft

  First draft of a common clinic document — practice-area templates (asylum applications, eviction answers, protective order petitions, demand letters), jurisdiction-aware formatting, explicitly a starting point requiring student analysis and attorney review. Use when a student needs a first draft of

• form-generation

  Reference: DEPRECATED — use `/draft` instead. This skill has been folded into the draft skill, which handles practice-area document generation including form population. Kept as a redirect for migration.

• memo

  IRAC-scaffolded case analysis memo with research gaps flagged — the scaffold, not the analysis. Rule blocks are RESEARCH NEEDED, Application is STUDENT ANALYSIS prompts, Conclusion is blank. Use when a student needs to scaffold a case analysis memo, write up their analysis, or build an IRAC memo for

• plain-language-letters

  Reference: DEPRECATED — use `/client-letter` for routine correspondence or `/status client` for substantive updates. Split into two more focused skills during the v2 rebuild. Kept as a redirect for migration.

• ramp

  Student semester onboarding — clinic procedures, tool walkthrough, practice exercises before real cases. Reads the handbook the professor uploaded at setup and teaches it interactively. Use when a new clinic student says "onboard me", "I'm new to the clinic", "getting started", or at the start of ea

• research-start

  Research roadmap for a legal issue — statutes to check, case law areas to investigate, regulatory frameworks, Westlaw search terms. Leads and frameworks, NOT authoritative citations; students verify and develop everything. Use when a student asks where to start researching, wants a research roadmap

• semester-handoff

  End-of-semester case handoff memos — the mirror of /ramp. Produces per-case transition memos and a cohort summary so the departing cohort hands work to the incoming cohort cleanly. Reads deadlines, client-comms, and case history. Use when the professor or departing students need to wrap up the semes

• status

  Case status summary by audience — client-facing (plain language), internal (for the professor), or court-ready (formal caption format per local rules). Same facts, different framing and depth. Use when a student needs to update the client, brief the professor, or prepare a court status report.

• supervisor-review-queue

  Professor's review queue — student output waits here for professor approval before going to clients or courts. Only active if "formal review queue" supervision style was chosen at setup; otherwise dormant. Use when the professor wants to see what's waiting for review, approve, edit-then-approve, or
