SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Supervising attorneys in legal clinics need a way to control how student-facing AI skills behave — what intake questions get asked, how much the AI does versus the student, and which work products require attorney sign-off. This Skill walks a supervisor through authoring a per-practice-area guide that configures all of that in 5-10 minutes. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured supervisor interview: Walks through practice area selection, intake questions, pedagogy posture (assist / guide / teach), review gates, cross-plugin checks, and local rules. - Guide file generation: Writes a plain-markdown configuration guide to the plugin config directory that every student-facing skill reads before producing output. - Role enforcement and test run: Verifies the user is the supervising attorney, then offers a simulated drafting run so the supervisor sees exactly what students will experience. - Use Case: An immigration clinic supervisor runs the command, customizes intake red flags, sets a "teach" posture for client letters, marks filings as mandatory supervisor review, and saves the guide — students immediately work under those rules. ## Quick Start Run /legal-clinic:build-guide and answer the interview prompts to author a practice-area guide for your clinic.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure how student-facing legal clinic skills behave?

Run /legal-clinic:build-guide as the supervising attorney. It interviews you on intake questions, pedagogy posture, review gates, cross-plugin checks, and local rules, then writes a markdown guide that all student-facing skills read before producing output.

What is a pedagogy posture in a legal clinic guide?

Pedagogy posture controls how much the skill does versus the student. Assist produces work product for students to edit, guide produces structure for students to fill in, and teach gives only Socratic feedback while students draft. You can set a default and override per document type.

Can students run the build-guide skill themselves?

No. The skill checks the role in the clinic CLAUDE.md profile and stops if the user is not the supervising attorney. Students are redirected to run /legal-clinic:ramp for onboarding instead.

Which review gates cannot be overridden in a clinic guide?

Client letters giving substantive advice, court or agency filings, and status updates to courts always route through the supervisor. Only routine items like intake summaries, internal memos, and routine client letters have configurable gates.

Can I have multiple practice-area guides for one clinic?

Yes. Each guide is a separate markdown file named by practice area in the guides directory, so you can maintain one for immigration, one for housing, and so on. Re-run the command to revise any guide or edit the file directly.
