SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps supervising attorneys create and refine practice-area guides that control how student-facing legal-clinic skills behave, ensuring consistent intake questions, pedagogy posture, review gates, cross-plugin checks, and practice-area local rules.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Supervisor-authored practice-area configuration: Turns a supervisor’s teaching philosophy into a reusable markdown guide stored for a specific practice area.
  • Pedagogy posture tuning (assist/guide/teach): Sets how much the student does versus how much the skill drafts, and supports per-document overrides.
  • Review gates and supervision routing: Defines which outputs require supervisor sign-off before client-facing use, including fixed “cannot override” gates for sensitive work (e.g., substantive advice, filings).
  • Cross-plugin check orchestration: Documents when students should run other plugins (e.g., consistency, research verification) under supervision wrapper logic.
  • Local rules and jurisdiction hooks: Captures practice-area-specific court/form/local-rule pointers that students should use during drafting and advising.

Quick Start

Run the build guide workflow to author or revise your clinic’s practice-area guide so students’ skills follow your supervision and teaching standards.

Frequently Asked Questions about build-guide

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure a legal clinic guide to control student skill behavior?

Configure a legal clinic guide by authoring a practice-area markdown file that defines intake questions, pedagogy posture, review gates, and local rules to control student skill behavior. The skill writes this configuration artifact to a specified per-practice-area path for immediate use.

What is pedagogy posture tuning in legal clinic supervision?

Pedagogy posture tuning sets how much a student does versus how much the skill drafts, offering assist, guide, or teach modes. Supervising attorneys can apply these settings globally or override them per document to match their teaching philosophy.

How do I set up review gates for supervising attorneys in a legal clinic?

Set up review gates by defining which student outputs require supervisor sign-off before client-facing use within the practice-area guide. You can enforce fixed, non-overridable gates for sensitive work like substantive advice and court filings.

Do I need a supervising attorney role to create a practice-area configuration guide?

Yes, creating a practice-area configuration guide requires a supervising attorney role. The skill enforces supervisor-only operation by verifying this role and loading required clinic configuration from the CLAUDE.md file before writing the guide.

Can I document cross-plugin checks and local rules in a clinic practice-area guide?

Yes, you can document cross-plugin checks to orchestrate when students run other verification plugins under supervision wrapper logic. The guide also captures practice-area-specific court, form, and local-rule pointers for drafting and advising.

How do I update an existing legal clinic practice-area guide?

Update an existing legal clinic practice-area guide by running the build guide workflow to revise intake questions, align review routing, and adjust pedagogy posture. It overwrites the markdown artifact at the configured per-practice-area path with the new supervisor preferences.
