Customize Skill for Claude

/customize

When this runs

The user typed /employment-legal:customize. They want to change something

in their practice profile — a jurisdiction, a risk posture, an escalation

contact, a handbook position — 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/employment-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 /employment-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, practice setting, jurisdictions

*(shared across all 12 plugins — changes flow through

company-profile.md)*

• Jurisdictional footprint — states (and countries) where employees

work, single-state vs. multi-state, and any upcoming expansion. This

drives state-specific supplement logic.

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

for flagging termination risk, restrictive covenant enforceability, and

leave accommodation

• People — HR partners, people team lead, outside counsel, escalation

chain, investigation sponsor

• Hiring review — offer letter template, restrictive covenants

posture, background check vendor, standard at-will language

• Termination review — severance framework, release language, final

pay timing rules per state, high-risk flags

• Handbook — handbook file path, state supplements approach, review

cadence

• Investigation preferences — privileged labeling, interview protocol,

audience-specific summary templates

• Workflow — matter workspaces, leave tracker cadence, expansion

project paths

• Integrations — HRIS / Slack / document storage status, fallbacks

• 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:

• *Adding Washington to the jurisdictional footprint:* "/wage-hour-qa

and /termination-review will start applying WA rules. `/handbook-

updates will prompt for a WA supplement. /hiring-review` will now

flag non-compete attempts in WA (unenforceable)."

• *Severance framework 2 weeks/year → 4 weeks/year:* "`/termination-

review` will use the new baseline in severance calculations."

• *Risk posture middle → conservative:* "I'll flag more terminations for

escalation, recommend more protective release language, and be stricter

on restrictive covenants."

• 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 /employment-legal:customize anytime.

Guardrails

• Never delete a section. If the user wants to "remove" a jurisdiction,

offer to mark it [Not currently staffed — retain rules for re-entry] and

explain that going to [Not configured] will drop state-specific

flagging.

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

inconsistent (e.g., CA in the footprint + aggressive non-compete posture;

or risk posture aggressive + "every termination goes to outside counsel"),

flag the tension.

• Flag guardrail degradation. The pre-flight citation check, source

attribution tags, and [verify] tags on cited statutes are load-bearing —

do not remove. The [review] flag is load-bearing — explain the trade-off

before adjusting.

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