| description | Guided customisation of your UK commercial contracts practice profile — change one thing without re-running the whole cold-start interview. Adjust risk posture, escalation contacts, playbook positions, NDA triage preferences, house style, review preferences, or matter workspace paths. Use when the user says "change my [thing]", "update my profile", "edit my playbook", "tune my config", or "customise".

/customize
When this runs
The user typed /commercial-legal-uk:customize. They want to change something
in their practice profile — a risk posture, an escalation contact, a playbook
position, a UK jurisdiction, an output format — without re-running the whole
cold-start interview and without hand-editing YAML.
What to do
-
Read the config. Read
~/.claude/plugins/config/uk-legal-plugins/commercial-legal-uk/CLAUDE.md
(and ~/.claude/plugins/config/uk-legal-plugins/company-profile.md one
level up). If the plugin config does not exist or still contains
[PLACEHOLDER] values, say:
You haven't run setup yet. Run /commercial-legal-uk:cold-start-interview
first — customize is for adjusting a profile you already have.
-
Show the customisable map. List what's in the profile, grouped, with a
one-line summary of the current value:
- Company / who you are — name, industry, jurisdictions (E&W / Scotland / NI), stage, practice setting, sales-side vs. purchasing-side orientation (shared across all 12 plugins — changes flow through
company-profile.md)
- Risk posture — conservative / middle / aggressive, what each means for fallback positions and escalation triggers
- People — escalation chain, approvers by pound threshold and by clause type; regulatory referral contacts (CMA / FCA / ICO / Companies House)
- Playbook positions — the substantive contract positions: liability caps, indemnity scope, IP ownership, data protection (UK GDPR / DPA 2018), termination, auto-renewal, price escalation (CPI/RPI), and the fallbacks for each
- NDA triage preferences — what green / yellow / red looks like for inbound NDAs under English law of confidence
- Review preferences — redline style, explanation depth, whether to produce a stakeholder summary by default
- House style — document format, signature block, renewal-alert channel, deviation-log format; UK English preferences
- Workflow — matter workspace paths, intake path, renewal watcher cadence
- Integrations — Ironclad / DocuSign / uk-legal MCP / govuk MCP / Slack / document storage 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:
- Liability cap fallback 12 months → 6 months: "
/review will now flag anything above 6 months as a deviation; the UCTA 1977 reasonableness analysis adjusts accordingly."
- New escalation approver: "Any redline exceeding your own authority will now route to this approver —
/escalation-flagger will include them by default for the matching risk band."
- Risk posture middle → aggressive: "I'll accept more vendor-friendly positions without flagging them and shift the
[review] bar higher."
- Jurisdiction footprint change (add Scotland): "I'll add Scots law jurisdiction notes throughout reviews — key differences: no consideration requirement, distinct offer/acceptance rules, different frustration doctrine."
-
For shared-profile changes (company name, industry, jurisdictions, practice setting, stage): write to ~/.claude/plugins/config/uk-legal-plugins/company-profile.md and note:
This change affects all 12 plugins — any plugin that reads your jurisdiction footprint now sees [new value].
-
Close.
Done. Your next output will reflect the change. Anything else? You can run /commercial-legal-uk:customize anytime.
Guardrails
- Never delete a section. If the user wants to "remove" something, set it to
[Not configured] and explain what that means for the plugin's behaviour.
- Flag internal inconsistency. If the change would make the profile inconsistent (e.g., risk posture aggressive + "every redline needs Head of Legal approval"; or "sales-side" + a purchasing-side playbook position), flag the tension and ask which one they want.
- Flag guardrail degradation. If the user asks to turn off a guardrail (drop the
[review] flag, skip the privilege header, remove [verify] tags), explain what the guardrail protects against and confirm they understand the trade-off. The [review] flag, source attribution tags, and [verify] tags on cited statutes are load-bearing and should not be removed.
- One change at a time. Don't re-ask the whole interview.
- UK English. Write all profile updates in UK English (recognise, organise, licence as noun, favour, etc.).
