- Load
~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-builder-hub/CLAUDE.md
- Use the workflow below.
- Check what other plugins have been doing. Match against registry.
- Suggest: "You've been doing X — community has a skill for Y that's related."
Purpose
The community might have built the thing you're about to build. This skill notices and mentions it — once, briefly, non-annoyingly.
How it runs
This skill surfaces related community skills after a task. It can be invoked directly by the user ("what else is out there for X?") or wired into other plugins via a Stop hook — the hook-based pattern requires each sibling plugin to declare a Stop hook that calls this skill, which is not wired by default. Without the hook wiring, invoke it directly.
Other plugins can include a light check at the end of a task:
"The legal-builder-hub found a community skill that might help with this kind of thing: [name] — [one-line]. Want to take a look?"
Load context
~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-builder-hub/CLAUDE.md
→ practice profile, installed skills (don't suggest what's already installed).
Registry cache from registry-browser.
The match
Given a task description (what the user was just doing), find registry skills that match:
- Keyword overlap between the task and skill descriptions
- Practice profile fit (don't suggest litigation skills to a transactional lawyer)
- Not already installed
Threshold: Only surface if the match is strong. Weak matches are noise. Better to surface nothing than to annoy.
Output
If strong match:
💡 The community has a skill for this:
[name] from [registry] — "[description]".
/legal-builder-hub:skill-installer [name]
to try it.
If no strong match: silent. No output. Don't announce "I found nothing."
Frequency limit
Don't surface the same skill twice. If the user didn't install it the first time, they saw it and decided no. Track dismissals in
.
User control
Per
~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-builder-hub/CLAUDE.md
→ new skill notifications:
- All: Surface any match
- Matching practice profile: Filter by profile (default)
- None: This skill is off
Close with the next-steps decision tree
End with the next-steps decision tree per CLAUDE.md
. Customize the options to what this skill just produced — the five default branches (draft the X, escalate, get more facts, watch and wait, something else) are a starting point, not a lock-in. The tree is the output; the lawyer picks.
What this skill does not do
- Install anything.
- Interrupt a task in progress. Surfacing happens at the end of a task, not in the middle.
- Nag. One mention per skill, ever.
