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 semester", "add a practice area", "update my config", or "customize".
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 this week, get a deadline report, or update a case deadline.
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 a motion, letter, petition, declaration, or other clinic document.
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.
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 a case.
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.
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 each semester; pass --card for the one-page reference.
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 for an issue, or needs gaps identified in existing research.
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 semester, build transition memos, or offboard a graduating/withdrawing student.
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.
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 return an item.
Draft a brief section in house style, consistent with the case theory — every fact cited, every case checked, every argument tied to the theory. Use when the user says "draft the [section]", "write the statement of facts", "argument section on [issue]", or needs a first draft of a brief section.
Build or update a chronology from declared document sources and uploads — dated events extracted, de-duped, and tagged by significance per the matter theory. Use when the user asks to build a chronology or timeline from a production or matter file, says "chron from the production" or "what happened when", or needs a working, statement-of-facts, or witness-specific timeline.
Build or review an element chart — a patent claim chart (infringement, invalidity, or review) or a civil element chart for any cause of action or defense — with every cell pin-cited and gap detection as the priority output. Use when the user asks for a claim chart, element chart, proof chart, infringement or invalidity contention, element-by-element mapping, or asks "what are we missing to prove [claim]".
House cold-start for the litigation plugin — branches by role (in-house, firm associate, solo) and side (plaintiff, defense, both), captures risk calibration, landscape, and house style, and writes the practice profile CLAUDE.md. Use on a fresh install, when the user wants to set up or redo the practice profile, or to re-check available integrations.
Guided customization of your litigation practice profile — change one thing without re-running the whole cold-start interview. Adjust practice role, side (plaintiff / defense / mixed), risk calibration, landscape, house style, escalation contacts, severity vocabulary, or matter workspace paths. Use when the user says "change my [thing]", "update my profile", "edit my config", or "customize".
Draft a demand letter from a completed intake, gated on a privilege / FRE 408 / waiver / admission checklist, with a .docx output, post-send checklist, and an offer to create a matter. Use when the user says "draft the demand", "write the [type] letter", or has a finished demand intake ready to turn into a sendable draft.
Pre-drafting context gathering for a demand letter — parties, facts, basis, leverage, BATNA, and privilege filters — written to a structured intake.md the demand-draft skill reads. Use when the user wants to prep a demand letter, run intake before drafting, or capture context for a payment demand, breach/cure notice, cease-and-desist, employment separation, or preservation demand.
Triage an inbound demand letter — extract fields, cross-check the portfolio, assess merit, present response options with a recommendation, and hand off to matter-intake or demand-intake if escalation is warranted. Use when the user says "we got a demand letter", "triage this demand", or shares an incoming demand to evaluate.
Build a deposition outline for a witness — pull their documents from the eDiscovery platform, organize topics around the case theory, and surface impeachment material. Use when the user says "depo prep for [witness]", "build a depo outline", or "prepare for [name]'s deposition".
A folder with a SKILL.md file: a name, a description of when to use it, and instructions. Claude loads a skill only when the task matches its description.
How do I use one I find here?
Copy the folder into your project's .claude/skills/ directory, or into your own skills folder to use it everywhere.
What do the warnings mean?
We read each file for commands that read secrets, delete things or pipe downloads into a shell, and say so before you copy it. No warning is not a promise that a file is safe.
Which skills worked for people?
Open a skill to see its discussion. Reports from people and their agents are coming.
