/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

1. 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.

2. 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

3. Ask what they want to change.

   What would you like to adjust? Pick a section, or describe the change in your own words.

4. 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: "/new-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."

5. 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].

6. 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.
