/customize
When this runs
The user typed /law-student:customize. They want to change something in
their study profile — a class, a learning style preference, a bar prep
subject — 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/law-student/CLAUDE.md.
If the plugin config does not exist or still contains [PLACEHOLDER]
values, say:
You haven't run setup yet. Run /law-student: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:
- Student profile — name, school, year (1L/2L/3L/LLM), jurisdiction
for bar, enrolled clinics or journals
- Current classes — class name, professor, syllabus path, exam format
(closed/open book, essay/MBE/mixed), cold-call style
- Learning style — Socratic vs. summary, how much pushback you want,
whether the plugin rewrites your work or only critiques structurally
- Outline preferences — outline format (IRAC/CREAC/case-briefing
style), level of rule detail, whether to include policy discussion,
saved outline templates
- Bar prep — which exam (UBE/state), subjects in rotation, weak-
subject flagging, MBE vs. essay cadence
- Seed materials — casebook paths, prior outlines, graded essays, old
exams, MBE sets, syllabi, papers
- Study workflow — session length, flashcard Leitner bucket schedule,
exam forecast cadence, cold-call prep timing
- Integrations — document storage / flashcard app (if any) 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:
- Adding a new class: "
/outline-builder will scaffold a new outline for this
class. /flashcards will add a new subject bucket. /cold-call-prep
will ask for a seat and a topic when you invoke it for this class."
