Holds student work in a queue for a legal clinic professor to approve, edit-then-approve or return before anything reaches clients or courts.

  • Works in 4 steps: Check… → Use the workflow below. → Default: show what's waiting, by… → …
  • A clinic professor wants to see which student items are waiting
  • SKILL.md covers Purpose, Load context, The queue and Modes, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

In a legal clinic set up for formal supervision, student output waits in a queue until the professor releases it. The skill is active only when the clinic's `CLAUDE.md` configuration says the supervision style is a formal review queue; otherwise the agent explains that no queue exists and how to switch. The queue lives in `references/review-queue.yaml`, with entries typed as intake, draft, memo, status or client letter.

By default the agent shows what is waiting, ordered by urgency and by student, and can open one item with its full content, the reason it was flagged and the student's notes. The professor can approve it, edit and then approve, or return it with a note, for example with `--approve Q-003` or `--return Q-004`. Every action is logged, and approval notifies the student. The excerpt is cut off before the later modes.

When your agent uses it

  • A clinic professor wants to see which student items are waiting
  • Approving a student's client letter before it goes out
  • Returning a draft to a student with a correction note

Example prompts

  • “Show me everything waiting in the review queue, most urgent first.”
  • “Approve item Q-003 in the review queue.”
  • “Return Q-004 to the student and tell them the local filing rules changed.”

Requirements

  • The legal-clinic plugin configured with the formal review queue supervision style

Workflow steps

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

  1. Check ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-clinic/CLAUDE.md → supervision style. If NOT "formal review queue": explain the…
  2. Use the workflow below.
  3. Default: show what's waiting, by urgency, by student.
  4. Actions: approve / edit-then-approve / return with note. All logged.

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 yaml and 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

Supervisor Review Queue loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 85 tokens; SKILL.md has 403 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~85
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.1k

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.

description
Professor's review queue — student output waits here for professor approval before going to clients or courts. Only active if "formal review queue" supervision style was chosen at setup; otherwise dormant. Use when the professor wants to see what's waiting for review, approve, edit-then-approve, or return an item.

/supervisor-review-queue

  1. Check ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-clinic/CLAUDE.md → supervision style. If NOT "formal review queue": explain the clinic is set up for [flags/lighter-touch], no formal queue exists, and how to switch.

Supervisor Review Queue (Optional)

Purpose

Some clinics want a formal gate: student drafts, professor reviews, output releases. Others find that too prescriptive — they supervise through case rounds and one-on-ones, not through a queue.

This skill is only active if ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-clinic/CLAUDE.md → Supervision style is "formal review queue." Otherwise it's dormant — the cold-start interview asks the professor which model they want, and this is one of three options.

Whether to use a formal review workflow is genuinely an open question for clinic adoption. It depends on student experience level, caseload, and how the professor already runs supervision. The professor decides at setup and can change it later.

Load context

~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-clinic/CLAUDE.md → supervision style. If NOT "formal review queue": respond with "The clinic is set up for [flags/lighter-touch] supervision — there's no formal queue. [Professor] reviews through [the clinic's existing structure]. To switch to a formal queue, edit CLAUDE.md → Supervision style."

If formal queue IS enabled → read flag triggers and proceed.

The queue

Lives at references/review-queue.yaml. Each entry:

yaml
- id: Q-001
  type: "draft"  # intake | draft | memo | status | client-letter
  client: "[name or ID]"
  student: "[name]"
  submitted: [timestamp]
  flags:
    - rule: "Court filing"
      detail: "Eviction answer — always queued"
  content_path: "[path to the document]"
  status: "pending"  # pending | approved | edited-approved | returned

Approve / edit-then-approve / return
  • Approve: Status → approved, student notified, logged.
  • Edit then approve: Professor edits inline, approved version is the edited one, original preserved in log so student sees the diff (teaching moment).
  • Return: With a note. Student revises and resubmits.

Logging

Every action logged. Approval logs are clinic records — they document that a licensed attorney, solicitor, barrister, or other authorised legal professional in the clinic's jurisdiction reviewed student work before it went to a client or court. That matters for the clinic's own compliance and for student evaluation.

Teaching signal

The queue is also data. Pattern in returns ("Student X keeps missing the service requirement") is a coaching conversation. Pattern in edits ("Everyone's demand letters are too long") is a /ramp update for next semester.

What this skill does NOT do

  • Run unless the professor chose it. It's one of three supervision models, not the only one.
  • Auto-approve. The professor approves.
  • Replace the clinic's existing supervision structure. It's a gate for work product, not a substitute for case rounds, one-on-ones, or watching students in action.
