| description | Guided customization of your litigation practice profile — change one thing without re-running the whole cold-start interview. Adjust practice role, side (plaintiff / defense / mixed), risk calibration, landscape, house style, escalation contacts, severity vocabulary, or matter workspace paths. Use when the user says "change my [thing]", "update my profile", "edit my config", or "customize".

/customize
When this runs
The user typed /litigation-legal:customize. They want to change something
in their litigation profile — a risk calibration, a house style rule, an
escalation contact, a landscape note — without re-running the whole
cold-start interview and without hand-editing YAML.
What to do
-
Read the config. Read
~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/litigation-legal/CLAUDE.md
(and ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-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 /litigation-legal: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:
- Company / who you are — name, industry, jurisdictions, stage, practice
setting (shared across all 12 plugins — changes flow through
company-profile.md)
- Practice role — in-house counsel / outside counsel / solo / clinic
- Side — plaintiff / defense / mixed, and any posture nuances (class
action defense, regulatory enforcement defense, commercial
plaintiff, etc.)
- Risk calibration — what counts as high / medium / low risk on an
inbound demand, subpoena, or new matter; escalation triggers
- Landscape — regular adversaries, friendly and unfriendly venues,
judges to know, standing OC relationships
- House style — brief style, declaration format, demand letter
template, deposition outline structure, legal hold template
- Severity vocabulary map — how you translate severity labels across
client / internal / court-facing outputs
- People — matter leads, in-house team, outside counsel by matter
type, escalation chain
- Workflow — matter workspaces, portfolio log, OC status cadence,
legal hold refresh cadence
- Integrations — document storage / e-filing / calendar / Slack
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:
- Side mixed → defense-only: "
/new-matter intake will stop asking the
plaintiff-side questions. /demand-draft will still work for
defense-side pre-suit demands but the starting frame will be different."
- Risk calibration tightening high-risk threshold: "More inbound
demands and subpoenas will route through
/matter-briefing and
/oc-status."
- New standing OC for IP matters: "
/oc-status will include this firm
in weekly sweeps for IP-tagged matters."
-
For shared-profile changes (company name, industry, jurisdictions,
practice setting, stage): write to
~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/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 /litigation-legal:customize anytime.
Guardrails
- Never delete a section. If the user wants to "remove" a matter type
from scope, offer to mark it
[Not currently handled] and explain what
intake routing changes.
- Flag internal inconsistency. If the change would make the profile
inconsistent (e.g., plaintiff-only side + defense-only OC roster; or
"high volume" portfolio + no matter workspaces configured), flag the
tension.
- Flag guardrail degradation. The FRE 408 / privilege gate on
/demand-draft, the privilege header on matter outputs, source
attribution tags, and [verify] tags on cited authorities are load-
bearing — do not remove. The [review] flag and the "do not file
without attorney review" framing are load-bearing.
- One change at a time. Don't re-ask the whole interview.
