/customize

When this runs

The user typed /litigation-legal-uk: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/uk-legal-plugins/litigation-legal-uk/CLAUDE.md (and ~/.claude/plugins/config/uk-legal-plugins/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-uk:cold-start-interview first — customize is for adjusting a profile you already have.

2. Show the customisable 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 plugins — changes flow through company-profile.md)
   • Practice role — in-house / firm-solicitor / barrister / solo / other
   • Side — claimant / defendant / mixed, and any posture nuances (class action defence, regulatory enforcement defence, commercial claimant, etc.)
   • Risk calibration — what counts as high / medium / low risk on an inbound demand, witness summons, or new matter; escalation triggers
   • Landscape — regular adversaries, frequent fora (courts and tribunals), standing external solicitors and counsel relationships
   • House style — skeleton argument style, witness statement conventions, Letter of Claim template, preservation notice template, legal professional privilege conventions
   • Severity vocabulary map — how you translate severity labels across client / internal / court-facing outputs
   • People — matter leads, in-house team, external solicitors bench, instructed counsel, escalation chain
   • Workflow — matter workspaces, portfolio log, OC status cadence, preservation notice refresh cadence
   • Integrations — document storage / e-filing / calendar / DMS 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 → defendant-only: "/matter-intake intake will stop asking the claimant-side questions. /demand-draft will still work for defendant-side pre-suit demands but the starting frame will be different."
   • Risk calibration tightening high-risk threshold: "More inbound demands and witness summonses will route through /matter-briefing and /oc-status."
   • New standing external solicitor 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/uk-legal-plugins/company-profile.md and note:

   This change affects all plugins that share your company profile — 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-uk: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., claimant-only side + defendant-only external solicitor roster; or "high volume" portfolio + no matter workspaces configured), flag the tension.
• Flag guardrail degradation. The "without prejudice" / LPP gate on /demand-draft, the LPP 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 / send without solicitor/barrister review" framing are load-bearing.
• One change at a time. Don't re-ask the whole interview.
