anthropics/claude-for-legal-customize

> Guided customization of your AI governance practice profile — change one thing without re-running the whole cold-start interview. Adjust risk posture, escalation contacts, use-case registry entries, vendor AI positions, AI policy commitments, impact-assessment house style, or matter workspace paths. Use when the user says "change my [thing]", "update my profile", "edit my config", "tune my playbook", or "customize".

The instruction itself

4 sections, as written by the author

/customize

When this runs

The user typed /ai-governance-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/ai-governance-legal/CLAUDE.md

(and ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/company-profile.md one

level up). If the plugin config does not exist or still contains

[PLACEHOLDER] values, say:

> You haven't run setup yet. Run /ai-governance-legal: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:

  • Company / who you are — name, industry, jurisdictions, stage, practice

setting *(shared across all 12 plugins — changes flow through

company-profile.md)*

  • Regulatory footprint — EU AI Act, state AI laws, sector regulators in

scope

  • Risk posture — conservative / middle / aggressive, what each means for

triage and AIA output

  • People — governance team, AI risk owner, escalation chain, approvers
  • Use case registry — approved / conditional / never entries, and

conditions attached to each

  • AI system inventory — per-system role (provider / deployer / etc.) and

tier under the EU AI Act. Run /ai-governance-legal:ai-inventory for

the dedicated editor.

  • Vendor AI governance — training-on-data, liability, model-change

notice, and other positions in your vendor AI playbook

  • AI policy commitments — the public or internal commitments your AI

policy has made, that the plugin cross-checks against

  • Impact assessment house style — AIA section order, risk scoring

format, stakeholder framing

  • Workflow — intake path, output format, matter workspace paths, review

cadence for the policy monitor

  • Integrations — what's connected (Slack, document storage,

scheduled-tasks), what falls back

  • 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 of downstream explanation:

  • *Risk posture middle → conservative:* "I'll flag more use cases as

conditional rather than approved, surface more AIA follow-ups, and

recommend more conservative vendor AI redlines."

  • *Adding an escalation contact:* "Every skill that routes escalations

(/use-case-triage, /vendor-ai-review, /reg-gap-analysis) will now include this

contact on the relevant risk bands."

  • *New use case registry entry:* "/use-case-triage will match against this entry

on its next run. Existing AIAs aren't rewritten — re-run them if you want

the new posture reflected."

  • For shared-profile changes (company name, industry, jurisdictions,

practice setting, stage): write to

~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/company-profile.md and 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 /ai-governance-legal:customize anytime.

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.

("Removing your escalation chain means /use-case-triage will flag escalation-worthy

items but won't route them to a specific person.")

  • Flag internal inconsistency. If the change would make the profile

inconsistent (e.g., risk posture aggressive + escalation "everything goes to

the GC"; or "EU AI Act in scope" + "no systems flagged for the EU"), flag

the tension and ask which one they want.

  • Flag guardrail degradation. If the user asks to turn off a guardrail

("stop adding the [review] flag," "drop the citations warning," "skip the

privilege header"), explain what the guardrail protects against and confirm

they understand the trade-off. Most guardrails are adjustable — a few are

structural:

  • The [review] flag mechanism (tells the user when legal judgment is

needed rather than a confident wrong answer) — load-bearing, don't

remove.

  • Source attribution tags on retrieved content — load-bearing, don't remove.
  • [verify] tags on cited statutes/regulations — load-bearing, don't

remove.

  • One change at a time. Don't re-ask the whole interview. If the user

wants multiple changes, handle them sequentially and confirm each before

moving on.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take anthropics/claude-for-legal-customize from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
