What it does
Status is an agent skill from anthropics/claude-for-legal, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Case status summary by audience — client-facing (plain language), internal (for the professor), or court-ready (formal caption format per local rules). Same facts, different framing and depth. Use when a student needs to update the client, brief the professor, or prepare a court status report.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k 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 Writing & Content, covering Plain language and style rules. The repository describes itself as: A suite of plugins for legal workflows. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- A student needs to update the client
- Brief the professor
- Prepare a court status report
Example prompts
- “/status”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Load ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-clinic/CLAUDE.md → supervision style, plain-language standards, jurisdiction.
- Use the workflow below. Read case notes.
- Generate for the specified audience
- Supervision routing per audience (client-facing and court-ready usually flag).
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 (its code samples are markdown).
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
Status loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 586 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.

/legal-clinic:status client/legal-clinic:status internal/legal-clinic:status courtStatus: Audience-Aware Case Summaries
Purpose
Clinics generate enormous numbers of status updates — to clients, to professors, to co-counsel, to courts. Same case, same facts, completely different documents. This skill takes the case notes and produces the right summary for the right reader.
Load context
~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-clinic/CLAUDE.md → supervision style, plain-language standards (for client-facing), jurisdiction.
Case notes for facts.
Audience modes
Client-facing
Reader: The client. Probably stressed. Possibly unfamiliar with legal process. Reading level per ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-clinic/CLAUDE.md plain-language standards (default 6th grade).
Include:
- What's happened since they last heard from the clinic
- What's happening next and when
- What (if anything) they need to do
- How to reach the clinic
Don't include:
- Legal analysis (they don't need to know the IRAC)
- Weaknesses in their case (unless it's time to have that conversation — and that's a call for the professor, not a status update)
- Jargon
Review label for the student (not for the client — strip before sending):
[AI-ASSISTED DRAFT — requires student review and supervision step per plugin config]
Check your jurisdiction's student practice rule for required law-student sign-off language; some jurisdictions require specific forms.
Dear [Client],
I wanted to update you on your case.
**What's happened:** [Plain English. "We filed your answer with the court on
[date]" not "The responsive pleading was submitted."]
**What's next:** [What and when. "The court scheduled a hearing for [date] at
[time]. You need to be there." Or: "We're waiting for the landlord's lawyer
to respond. That could take a few weeks."]
**What you need to do:** [Specific and clear. Or: "Nothing right now — we'll
let you know when we need something from you."]
**How to reach us:** [Clinic phone, hours, student name]
[Student name]
Law Student, Certified Legal Intern
Under the supervision of [Supervising Attorney]
[Clinic name]Before sending: sending a client status update is a consequential action. The gate is the supervision workflow in ## Supervision style in ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-clinic/CLAUDE.md, reinforced by the Part 0 role check confirming a licensed supervising attorney owns the setup. Confirm the draft has been reviewed per the supervision protocol (queue / flag / lighter-touch) and all internal review labels ([AI-ASSISTED DRAFT], [VERIFY], etc.) have been removed from the client-facing copy.
Internal (for the professor)
Reader: The supervising professor. Knows the law. Wants to know where the case stands and what the student needs from them.
Include:
- Procedural status (where in the life of the case)
- What's been done since last check-in
- What's coming up (deadlines, hearings)
- Issues needing professor input
- Student's assessment (how it's going, concerns)
# Status: [Client] — [Matter] — [date]
**Student:** [name] | **Procedural posture:** [pre-filing / answer filed /
discovery / motion pending / etc.]
## Since last check-in
- [What's been done]
## Upcoming
| Date | What | Action needed by |
|---|---|---|
| [date] | [deadline/hearing] | [date] |
## Needs professor input
- [Question or decision point — specific]
## Student's assessment
[How it's going. Strengths, concerns, strategic questions. This is where the
student's thinking shows.]
---
[AI-ASSISTED DRAFT — student should revise the assessment section especially;
that's your thinking, not a summary of notes]Show full SKILL.md (223 more words)Show less
Court-ready
Reader: A judge or clerk. Formal. Specific to what the court needs (often a status report ordered by the court, or a statement in advance of a status conference).
Include:
- Procedural history (briefly)
- Current status of discovery/motions/settlement
- What's outstanding
- Proposed next steps or scheduling
Format: Per local rules. Caption, signature block, certificate of service if filed.

STATUS REPORT
[Party] respectfully submits this status report pursuant to [the court's
order of [date] / local rule [X] / in advance of the status conference
scheduled for [date]].
1. Procedural history: [brief]
2. Current status: [discovery status / motion status / settlement status]
3. Outstanding matters: [what's pending]
4. Proposed next steps: [scheduling, if the court wants input]
[Signature block — student attorney under supervision of [Professor]]
[Certificate of service if filing]

[VERIFY: caption format, local status report requirements, service
requirements — per current [Court] rules]Supervision routing
Per ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-clinic/CLAUDE.md:
- Client-facing → usually a flag trigger (client communication)
- Internal → no flag (it's going to the professor anyway)
- Court-ready → always flagged if formal queue enabled (court filings)
What this skill does NOT do
- Decide what to tell the client. Especially on bad news or case weaknesses — that's a conversation for the student and professor to have, then the student to have with the client. Status updates are status, not strategic advice.
- File anything with a court. Drafts the document; professor reviews; filing per clinic procedure.
- Replace the student's assessment in internal status. The "student's assessment" section is the student's thinking — the draft can scaffold it but can't write it.
Close with the next-steps decision tree
End with the next-steps decision tree per CLAUDE.md ## Outputs. Customize the options to what this skill just produced — the five default branches (draft the X, escalate, get more facts, watch and wait, something else) are a starting point, not a lock-in. The tree is the output; the lawyer picks.
