$ip-legal:fto-triage

Apache-2.0GeneralIP

Freedom-to-operate triage — a structured first look at potentially blocking patents, not an FTO opinion. Use when a product, process, or feature is being evaluated for blocking patents, when asked whether anything stops a launch, or to build a claim-chart first pass against the most plausible patents before patent counsel review. This skill never concludes a product is clear to launch.

$ip-legal:infringement-triage

Apache-2.0GeneralIP

Infringement triage across trademark, copyright, patent, and trade secret — a flag list with the factors cutting each way, not a finding. Use when assessing whether someone is infringing your IP or whether you might be infringing theirs, when a knockoff or copycat surfaces, or when deciding whether a matter is worth pursuing and how.

$ip-legal:ip-clause-review

Apache-2.0GeneralIP

Review the IP clauses in an agreement — assignment, ownership, license grants, warranties, indemnities. Use when reviewing IP terms in employment, consulting, SOW, vendor, or licensing agreements, when asked to check the assignment language or license scope, or when an agreement with IP provisions is pasted or attached.

$ip-legal:matter-workspace

Apache-2.0GeneralIP

Manage matter workspaces — create, list, switch, close, or detach the active matter. Use in multi-client private practice to keep one client's context separate from another, or when a substantive skill needs to know which matter it's working in.

$ip-legal:oss-review

Apache-2.0GeneralIP

Open source license compliance check for a dependency list, a single library, or outbound code. Use when reviewing a manifest, SBOM, or repo for copyleft obligations and license compatibility, when asked whether a library can ship, or when preparing code to be open-sourced.

$ip-legal:portfolio

Apache-2.0GeneralIP

Track the IP portfolio — registrations, renewals, maintenance fees, and use declarations. Use when checking what's renewing, adding or updating an asset, recording a maintenance filing, or auditing the register for gaps, lapses, and use-in-commerce questions. Receives handoffs from prosecution and clearance work.

$law-student:cold-start-interview

Apache-2.0GeneralGeneral practice

About-you interview and materials intake — classes, bar jurisdiction, learning style (drill-me vs explain-to-me), past outlines, graded essays, old exams, MBE sets, syllabi, papers. Use on a fresh install, when the user says "set up" or "get started", or with --check-integrations to re-probe connectors.

$law-student:irac-practice

Apache-2.0GeneralGeneral practice

Grade an IRAC essay for structure, issue-spotting, rule accuracy, analysis depth, and organization. Does NOT rewrite the essay or show a model answer; tracks patterns across sessions. Use when the user says "grade my IRAC", "check my essay", or "I wrote this, give me feedback".

$law-student:legal-writing

Apache-2.0GeneralGeneral practice

Structural feedback on a legal writing draft (memo, brief, paper, exam essay) — organization, analysis depth, clarity, citation form. NEVER rewrites the draft. Use when the user says "feedback on my memo", "read my draft", or "critique my brief".

$legal-builder-hub:customize

Apache-2.0GeneralGeneral practice

Guided customization of your Legal Builder Hub profile — change one thing without re-running the whole cold-start interview. Adjust practice profile, installed starter pack, watched registries, update preferences, or QA strictness. Use when the user says "change my [thing]", "add a registry", "update my profile", "edit my config", or "customize".

$legal-clinic:client-comms-log

Apache-2.0GeneralGeneral practice

Log a client communication — call, email, text, letter, in-person, voicemail. Append-only per-case record with dated entries, direction, medium, summary, action items. Works alongside $legal-clinic:client-letter and $legal-clinic:status client. Use when logging a call or client email, reviewing a communication log, or asking "what did we tell [client] last time".

$legal-clinic:client-intake

Apache-2.0GeneralGeneral practice

Structured intake — practice-area templates, cross-area issue spotting, conflict flags, and triage classification. Produces a formatted case summary the student analyzes and the professor reviews. Does NOT decide case acceptance. Use when starting a new client intake, running an intake interview, or writing up a new client's situation.

$legal-clinic:client-letter

Apache-2.0GeneralGeneral practice

Routine client correspondence from templates — appointment confirmations, document requests, brief "we filed it" updates. Plain language, required elements, supervision routing. NOT substantive advice. Use when a student needs to send routine correspondence, an appointment confirmation, a document request letter, or a brief status note to a client.

$legal-clinic:customize

Apache-2.0GeneralGeneral practice

Guided customization of your legal clinic profile — change one thing without re-running the whole cold-start interview. Adjust clinic profile, jurisdiction, supervision style, practice-area templates, semester configuration, or output safeguards. Use when the user says "change my [thing]", "new semester", "add a practice area", "update my config", or "customize".

$legal-clinic:deadlines

Apache-2.0GeneralGeneral practice

Track case deadlines — add, cross-case rollup report, update, complete, close. Warns at configurable thresholds (default 14/7/3/1 days); overdue items stay flagged until resolved. The operational record for a clinic workload. Use when a student or supervisor needs to add a deadline, ask what's due this week, get a deadline report, or update a case deadline.

$legal-clinic:draft

Apache-2.0GeneralLitigation

First draft of a common clinic document — practice-area templates (asylum applications, eviction answers, protective order petitions, demand letters), jurisdiction-aware formatting, explicitly a starting point requiring student analysis and attorney review. Use when a student needs a first draft of a motion, letter, petition, declaration, or other clinic document.

$legal-clinic:ramp

Apache-2.0GeneralGeneral practice

Student semester onboarding — clinic procedures, tool walkthrough, practice exercises before real cases. Reads the handbook the professor uploaded at setup and teaches it interactively. Use when a new clinic student says "onboard me", "I'm new to the clinic", "getting started", or at the start of each semester; pass --card for the one-page reference.

$legal-clinic:research-start

Apache-2.0GeneralGeneral practice

Research roadmap for a legal issue — statutes to check, case law areas to investigate, regulatory frameworks, Westlaw (connector optional; not enabled in v1) search terms. Leads and frameworks, NOT authoritative citations; students verify and develop everything. Use when a student asks where to start researching, wants a research roadmap for an issue, or needs gaps identified in existing research.

$legal-clinic:semester-handoff

Apache-2.0GeneralGeneral practice

End-of-semester case handoff memos — the mirror of /ramp. Produces per-case transition memos and a cohort summary so the departing cohort hands work to the incoming cohort cleanly. Reads deadlines, client-comms, and case history. Use when the professor or departing students need to wrap up the semester, build transition memos, or offboard a graduating/withdrawing student.

$legal-clinic:status

Apache-2.0GeneralLitigation

Case status summary by audience — client-facing (plain language), internal (for the professor), or court-ready (formal caption format per local rules). Same facts, different framing and depth. Use when a student needs to update the client, brief the professor, or prepare a court status report.

$legal-clinic:supervisor-review-queue

Apache-2.0GeneralGeneral practice

Professor's review queue — student output waits here for professor approval before going to clients or courts. Only active if "formal review queue" supervision style was chosen at setup; otherwise dormant. Use when the professor wants to see what's waiting for review, approve, edit-then-approve, or return an item.

$litigation-legal:brief-section-drafter

Apache-2.0GeneralLitigation

Draft a brief section in house style, consistent with the case theory — every fact cited, every case checked, every argument tied to the theory. Use when the user says "draft the [section]", "write the statement of facts", "argument section on [issue]", or needs a first draft of a brief section.

$litigation-legal:chronology

Apache-2.0GeneralLitigation

Build or update a chronology from declared document sources and uploads — dated events extracted, de-duped, and tagged by significance per the matter theory. Use when the user asks to build a chronology or timeline from a production or matter file, says "chron from the production" or "what happened when", or needs a working, statement-of-facts, or witness-specific timeline.

$litigation-legal:claim-chart

Apache-2.0GeneralLitigation

Build or review an element chart — a patent claim chart (infringement, invalidity, or review) or a civil element chart for any cause of action or defense — with every cell pin-cited and gap detection as the priority output. Use when the user asks for a claim chart, element chart, proof chart, infringement or invalidity contention, element-by-element mapping, or asks "what are we missing to prove [claim]".
