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.
[DEPRECATED] Plain-Language Letters → see $legal-clinic:client-letter and $legal-clinic:status client
This skill was split during the v2 rebuild:
-
Routine correspondence (appointment confirms, document requests, brief
"we filed it" updates) → skills/client-letter/ — use $legal-clinic:client-letter [type]
-
Substantive client status updates → skills/status/ in client-facing
mode — use $legal-clinic:status client
Both apply the plain-language standards (reading level, no jargon) from CLAUDE.md.
See the respective SKILL.md files for full workflows.
