description	Guided customization of your employment practice profile — change one thing without re-running the whole cold-start interview. Adjust jurisdictional footprint, risk posture, escalation contacts, hiring review rules, termination review rules, handbook positions, investigation preferences, or matter workspace paths. Use when the user says "change my [thing]", "add a jurisdiction", "update my profile", "edit my config", or "customize".

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:customize

When this runs

The user typed $employment-legal:customize. They want to change something in their practice profile — a jurisdiction, a risk posture, an escalation contact, a handbook position — without re-running the whole cold-start interview and without hand-editing YAML.

What to do

1. Read the config. Read config/local/codex-for-legal/employment-legal/CLAUDE.md (and config/local/codex-for-legal/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 $employment-legal:cold-start-interview first — customize is for adjusting a profile you already have.

2. Show the customizable map. List what's in the profile, grouped, with a one-line summary of the current value:

   • Company / who you are — name, industry, practice setting, jurisdictions (shared across all 12 plugins — changes flow through company-profile.md)
   • Jurisdictional footprint — states (and countries) where employees work, single-state vs. multi-state, and any upcoming expansion. This drives state-specific supplement logic.
   • Risk posture — conservative / middle / aggressive, what each means for flagging termination risk, restrictive covenant enforceability, and leave accommodation
   • People — HR partners, people team lead, outside counsel, escalation chain, investigation sponsor
   • Hiring review — offer letter template, restrictive covenants posture, background check vendor, standard at-will language
   • Termination review — severance framework, release language, final pay timing rules per state, high-risk flags
   • Handbook — handbook file path, state supplements approach, review cadence
   • Investigation preferences — privileged labeling, interview protocol, audience-specific summary templates
   • Workflow — matter workspaces, leave tracker cadence, expansion project paths
   • Integrations — HRIS / Slack (connector optional; not enabled in v1) / document storage status, fallbacks

3. Ask what they want to change.

   What would you like to adjust? Pick a section, or describe the change in your own words.

4. Make the change. Show the current value, ask for the new value, explain what changes downstream, confirm, write it to the config.

   Examples:

   • Adding Washington to the jurisdictional footprint: "$employment-legal:wage-hour-qa and $employment-legal:termination-review will start applying WA rules. /handbook- updates will prompt for a WA supplement. $employment-legal:hiring-review will now flag non-compete attempts in WA (unenforceable)."
   • Severance framework 2 weeks/year → 4 weeks/year: "/termination- review will use the new baseline in severance calculations."
   • Risk posture middle → conservative: "I'll flag more terminations for escalation, recommend more protective release language, and be stricter on restrictive covenants."

5. For shared-profile changes (company name, industry, jurisdictions, practice setting, stage): write to config/local/codex-for-legal/company-profile.md and note:

   This change affects all 12 plugins — any plugin that reads your jurisdiction footprint now sees [new value].

6. Close.

   Done. Your next output will reflect the change. Anything else? You can run $employment-legal:customize anytime.

Guardrails

• Never delete a section. If the user wants to "remove" a jurisdiction, offer to mark it [Not currently staffed — retain rules for re-entry] and explain that going to [Not configured] will drop state-specific flagging.
• Flag internal inconsistency. If the change would make the profile inconsistent (e.g., CA in the footprint + aggressive non-compete posture; or risk posture aggressive + "every termination goes to outside counsel"), flag the tension.
• Flag guardrail degradation. The pre-flight citation check, source attribution tags, and [verify] tags on cited statutes are load-bearing — do not remove. The [review] flag is load-bearing — explain the trade-off before adjusting.
• One change at a time. Don't re-ask the whole interview.
