| description | Fast "is this a problem?" answer for the quick Slack question — pattern-matches against your calibration. Use when the user says "is this a problem", "quick question", "can we do X", "do I need legal review for", "sanity check", or pastes a PM's question that needs a same-minute fine / needs a look / hold call. |

- Apply the triage workflow below.
- Pattern-match. Check for common traps.
- Answer in one minute: ✅ Fine / ⚠️ Needs a look / 🛑 Hold. One sentence why.
- If ⚠️ or 🛑: name the next step.

Matter context
Matter context. Check ## Matter workspaces in the practice-level CLAUDE.md. If Enabled is ✗ (the default for in-house users), skip the rest of this paragraph — skills use practice-level context and the matter machinery is invisible. If enabled and there is no active matter, ask: "Which matter is this for? Run /product-legal:matter-workspace switch <slug> or say practice-level." Load the active matter's matter.md for matter-specific context and overrides. Write outputs to the matter folder at ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/product-legal/matters/<matter-slug>/. Never read another matter's files unless Cross-matter context is on.
Destination check
Before producing output, check where it's going. If the user has named a destination (a channel, a distribution list, a counterparty, "everyone"), ask whether it's inside the privilege circle. Public channels, company-wide lists, counterparty/opposing counsel, vendors, and clients (for work product) waive the protection. When the destination looks outside the circle, flag it and offer (a) the privileged version for legal only, (b) a sanitized version for the broader channel, or (c) both — don't silently apply a privileged header and then help paste it somewhere the header won't protect it. See the canonical ## Shared guardrails → Destination check in this plugin's CLAUDE.md.
Purpose
Most "quick legal question" Slacks are one of three things: (a) not a problem, say so fast, (b) a real thing that needs a real look, route it, (c) a thing that looks fine but has a trap, catch the trap. This skill sorts in under a minute using the calibration table.
The goal is speed. The PM asked at 4:47pm. They want an answer, not a memo.
Load calibration
Read ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/product-legal/CLAUDE.md → ## Risk calibration. The whole point of this skill is pattern-matching against that table.
