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.
$legal-clinic:customize
When this runs
The user typed $legal-clinic:customize. 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.
What to do
-
Read the config. Read
config/local/codex-for-legal/legal-clinic/CLAUDE.md.
If the plugin config does not exist or still contains [PLACEHOLDER]
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
