What it does
Customize is an agent skill from anthropics/claude-for-legal, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Guided customization of your 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 "customize".
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Legal & Compliance, covering Contract review. The repository describes itself as: A suite of plugins for legal workflows. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- The user says change my [thing]
- Update my profile
- Edit my playbook
Example prompts
- “change my [thing]”
- “update my profile”
- “edit my playbook”
- “/customize”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4a6c651. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Customize loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 103 tokens; SKILL.md has 519 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

/customize
When this runs
The user typed /commercial-legal:customize. They want to change something
in their practice profile — a risk posture, an escalation contact, a playbook
position, a 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/claude-for-legal/commercial-legal/CLAUDE.md(and~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/company-profile.mdone level up). If the plugin config does not exist or still contains[PLACEHOLDER]values, say:You haven't run setup yet. Run
/commercial-legal:cold-start-interviewfirst — 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, 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 dollar threshold and by clause type
- Playbook positions — the substantive contract positions: liability caps, indemnity scope, IP ownership, data protection, termination, auto-renewal, price escalation, and the fallbacks for each
- NDA triage preferences — what green / yellow / red looks like for inbound NDAs
- 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
- Workflow — matter workspace paths, intake path, renewal watcher cadence
- Integrations — Ironclad / DocuSign / Slack / document storage status, fallbacks
- Company / who you are — name, industry, jurisdictions, stage, practice
setting, sales-side vs. purchasing-side orientation (shared across all
12 plugins — changes flow through
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: "
/reviewwill now flag anything above 6 months as a deviation; existing deal-debrief entries stay as logged." - New escalation approver: "Any redline exceeding your own authority
will now route to this approver —
/escalation-flaggerwill 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."
- Liability cap fallback 12 months → 6 months: "
For shared-profile changes (company name, industry, jurisdictions, practice setting, stage): write to
~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/company-profile.mdand 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:customizeanytime.

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 behavior. - Flag internal inconsistency. If the change would make the profile inconsistent (e.g., risk posture aggressive + "every redline needs GC 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.
