Pedagogy posture controls for a legal clinic practice area are configured by authoring a per-practice-area guide that sets assist, guide, or teach modes to determine how much work the AI does versus the student. You can apply default postures and optional per-document overrides.

Supervisor-only access is enforced by reading the supervisor role and clinic profile from the CLAUDE.md configuration file before writing the practice-area guide. This ensures only supervising attorneys can author or update the configuration.

Local court rules and jurisdiction information are captured directly in the practice-area guide markdown file. This ensures student-facing drafting and advice skills remain jurisdiction-aware by documenting practice-area-specific courts, local rules, and forms.

Cross-plugin checks are wired into legal clinic skills by specifying when other skills should run and how their outputs should be flagged for supervisor review. This is configured within the practice-area guide authored by the supervising attorney.

Legal clinic practice-area guides require a specific directory structure, writing the markdown file to the legal-clinic guides configuration folder under the practice-area name. The supervisor role and clinic profile must also exist in the CLAUDE.md configuration file.
