SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It eliminates the blank-slate problem by guiding a law student through a structured interview to capture their learning style, classes, strengths/weaknesses, and uploaded materials into a usable practice profile.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Onboard your study preferences: Determines whether the student is best served by drill-me vs explain-to-me defaults and captures what they tend to avoid, so later study outputs match their needs.
  • Ingest and organize materials: Collects outlines, graded essays, old exams, MBE sets, syllabi, and related practice docs (aiming for 10–20 items) to seed downstream outline building, exam forecasting, and IRAC practice.
  • Integration availability check: Probes document/research connector availability (reporting ✓ only for truly successful calls) and writes an accurate “Available integrations” section into the generated config.

Quick Start

Run /law-student:cold-start-interview to answer the onboarding questions and produce your initial study profile at ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/law-student/CLAUDE.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up a study profile for law school from scratch?▼

To set up a study profile, run a cold-start interview that captures your learning style, class context, strengths, weaknesses, and law materials intake into a structured configuration file.

What is the best way to intake bar prep materials for a study plan?▼

The best way to intake bar prep materials is through a guided interview that collects outlines, graded essays, old exams, and MBE sets, aiming for 10 to 20 items to seed downstream practice.

Can I pause the onboarding interview and resume it later?▼

Yes, you can pause the onboarding interview and resume it later using pending markers, which ensures your partial configuration is saved until you are ready to complete the profile setup.

Does the study profile setup check if my document and research connectors are available?▼

The study profile setup validates connectors by testing tool calls and probing document and research availability, reporting success only for truly successful calls in the generated configuration.

What happens if I upload fewer than 10 law study materials during onboarding?▼

If you provide fewer than 10 law study materials, the configuration writes a complete YAML file with a limited-data flagging mechanism to indicate insufficient inputs for full outline building.

Why does my legal plugin configuration need a CLAUDE.md migration?▼

Your legal plugin configuration needs a CLAUDE.md migration to ensure proper config handling when setting up a fresh environment or updating integrations, preserving existing study profile data.
