  • Works in 5 steps: Read the config. Read → Show the customizable map. List what's… → Ask what they want to change. → …

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 legal clinic profile — change one thing without re-running the whole cold-start interview. Adjust clinic profile, jurisdiction, supervision style, practice-area templates, semester configuration, or output safeguards. Use when the user says "change my [thing]", "new semester", "add a practice area", "update 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.

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]
  • Add a practice area
  • Update my config

Example prompts

  • “change my [thing]”
  • “new semester”
  • “add a practice area”
  • “/customize”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Read the config. Read

  3. Ask what they want to change.
  4. Make the change. Show the current value, ask for the new value, explain
  5. Close.

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 94 tokens; SKILL.md has 525 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~94
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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 /legal-clinic:customize. They (usually the professor, sometimes a student) want to change something in the clinic profile — a jurisdiction, a supervision style, a practice-area template, a semester rollover — without re-running the whole cold-start interview and without hand-editing YAML.

What to do

  1. Read the config. Read ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-clinic/CLAUDE.md. If the plugin config does not exist or still contains [PLACEHOLDER] values, say:

    You haven't run setup yet. Run /legal-clinic: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:

    • Clinic profile — clinic name, host school, faculty lead, active practice areas, case type limits
    • Jurisdiction — primary state, courts, agencies, local rules path
    • Supervision style — informal vs. formal review queue; if formal, who reviews what before it goes out
    • Practice-area templates — which templates are active (immigration, housing, small business, family, expungement, etc.) and any local overrides
    • Semester — current semester, active students, rollover rules, handoff memo format
    • Output safeguards — plain-language standards for client-facing outputs, deadline warning rules, privilege labeling
    • Seed documents — clinic handbook, jurisdiction rules, template letters, sample memos, form libraries
    • Outputs — supervisor guide format, client letter templates, memo scaffolds
    • Workflow — case directories, deadline tracker location, review queue channel
    • Integrations — document storage / Slack / court e-filing 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 a new practice area: "/client-intake will route matters of this type through the new template. /draft, /memo, and /client-letter will use the practice-area prompts. /research-start will add the corresponding Westlaw search terms."
    • Supervision style informal → formal review queue: "/supervisor-review-queue becomes active — student output will land there for supervisor sign-off before it goes to the client."
    • New semester rollover: "I'll archive the prior semester's active cases, carry forward matters you flag as continuing, and prompt the incoming students through /ramp."

  5. Close.

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

Guardrails

  • Never delete a section. If the user wants to "drop" a practice area, offer to mark it [Archived] and explain that archiving keeps case history accessible but hides the template from /client-intake routing.
  • Flag internal inconsistency. If the change would make the profile inconsistent (e.g., formal review queue on + informal supervision note; or practice area on + no jurisdiction rules configured), flag the tension.
  • Flag guardrail degradation. These are load-bearing and should not be removed: the "NOT final work product" framing on /draft, plain-language standards on client-facing outputs, "does NOT decide case acceptance" on /client-intake, "NOT substantive advice" on /client-letter, and the scaffold-not-analysis framing on /memo. These exist because students ship work product — if the safeguards go, the risk of student work reaching a client without supervisor review goes up. Confirm the trade-off with the user, and if they're a student rather than the professor, suggest they discuss it with the supervisor first.
  • One change at a time. Don't re-ask the whole interview.
