Codex v1 local-input note: This migrated skill supports local files and pasted text by default. References to Drive, CLM IDs, Slack, Westlaw, iManage, Ironclad, eDiscovery, dockets, or other remote systems require a separately configured Codex connector/MCP server. When a connector is unavailable, ask for a local export, local file path, or pasted excerpts. If config/local/codex-for-legal/<practice>/CLAUDE.md is missing, ask the user to run the relevant cold-start-interview or customize skill and copy from config/templates/codex-for-legal/<practice>/CLAUDE.md.

$employment-legal:expansion-kickoff

Starts an international expansion project for a new country — gathers intake, runs EOR vs. entity framing, drafts cross-functional questions, surfaces country-specific flags, and creates a persistent tracker.

Instructions

1. Load config/local/codex-for-legal/employment-legal/CLAUDE.md → jurisdictional footprint, escalation table.
2. Load the international-expansion reference skill and run the full workflow.
3. If a tracker file already exists for this country (config/local/codex-for-legal/employment-legal/expansion-[slug].yaml), flag it: "An expansion tracker for [country] already exists. Use $employment-legal:expansion-update [country] to update it, or confirm you want to start over."
4. Create config/local/codex-for-legal/employment-legal/expansion-[slug].yaml on completion.

Examples

$employment-legal:expansion-kickoff Germany

Detailed EOR vs. entity framework, cross-functional questions, briefing templates, and tracker schema live in the international-expansion reference skill — load it before doing substantive work.
