The user typed
. They (usually the professor, sometimes
a student) want to change something in the clinic profile — a jurisdiction, a
supervision style, a practice-area template, a semester rollover — without
re-running the whole cold-start interview and without hand-editing YAML.
-
Read the config. Read
~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-clinic/CLAUDE.md
.
If the plugin config does not exist or still contains
values, say:
You haven't run setup yet. Run
/legal-clinic:cold-start-interview
first — customize is for adjusting a profile you already have.
-
Show the customizable map. List what's in the profile, grouped, with a
one-line summary of the current value:
- Clinic profile — clinic name, host school, faculty lead, active
practice areas, case type limits
- Jurisdiction — primary state, courts, agencies, local rules path
- Supervision style — informal vs. formal review queue; if formal,
who reviews what before it goes out
- Practice-area templates — which templates are active (immigration,
housing, small business, family, expungement, etc.) and any local
overrides
- Semester — current semester, active students, rollover rules,
handoff memo format
- Output safeguards — plain-language standards for client-facing
outputs, deadline warning rules, privilege labeling
- Seed documents — clinic handbook, jurisdiction rules, template
letters, sample memos, form libraries
- Outputs — supervisor guide format, client letter templates, memo
scaffolds
- Workflow — case directories, deadline tracker location, review
queue channel
- Integrations — document storage / Slack / court e-filing status,
fallbacks
-
Ask what they want to change.
What would you like to adjust? Pick a section, or describe the change in
your own words.
-
Make the change. Show the current value, ask for the new value, explain
what changes downstream, confirm, write it to the config.
Examples:
- Adding a new practice area: " will route matters of this
type through the new template. , , and
will use the practice-area prompts. will add the
corresponding Westlaw search terms."
- Supervision style informal → formal review queue: " becomes
active — student output will land there for supervisor sign-off before
it goes to the client."
- New semester rollover: "I'll archive the prior semester's active
cases, carry forward matters you flag as continuing, and prompt the
incoming students through ."
-
Close.
Done. Your next output will reflect the change. Anything else? You can
run
anytime.
