Customize

/customize

When this runs

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

in their litigation profile — a risk calibration, a house style rule, an

escalation contact, a landscape note — 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/litigation-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 /litigation-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)*

• Practice role — in-house counsel / outside counsel / solo / clinic
• Side — plaintiff / defense / mixed, and any posture nuances (class

action defense, regulatory enforcement defense, commercial

plaintiff, etc.)

• Risk calibration — what counts as high / medium / low risk on an

inbound demand, subpoena, or new matter; escalation triggers

• Landscape — regular adversaries, friendly and unfriendly venues,

judges to know, standing OC relationships

• House style — brief style, declaration format, demand letter

template, deposition outline structure, legal hold template

• Severity vocabulary map — how you translate severity labels across

client / internal / court-facing outputs

• People — matter leads, in-house team, outside counsel by matter

type, escalation chain

• Workflow — matter workspaces, portfolio log, OC status cadence,

legal hold refresh cadence

• Integrations — document storage / e-filing / calendar / Slack

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:

• *Side mixed → defense-only:* "/matter-intake will stop asking the

plaintiff-side questions. /demand-draft will still work for

defense-side pre-suit demands but the starting frame will be different."

• *Risk calibration tightening high-risk threshold:* "More inbound

demands and subpoenas will route through /matter-briefing and

/oc-status."

• *New standing OC for IP matters:* "/oc-status will include this firm

in weekly sweeps for IP-tagged matters."

• 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 /litigation-legal:customize anytime.

Guardrails

• Never delete a section. If the user wants to "remove" a matter type

from scope, offer to mark it [Not currently handled] and explain what

intake routing changes.

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

inconsistent (e.g., plaintiff-only side + defense-only OC roster; or

"high volume" portfolio + no matter workspaces configured), flag the

tension.

• Flag guardrail degradation. The FRE 408 / privilege gate on

/demand-draft, the privilege header on matter outputs, source

attribution tags, and [verify] tags on cited authorities are load-

bearing — do not remove. The [review] flag and the "do not file

without attorney review" framing are load-bearing.

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