name: customize description: > Guided customization of your law-student study profile — change one thing without re-running the whole cold-start interview. Adjust current classes, learning style, outline preferences, bar prep subjects, seed materials, or study session cadence. Use when the user says "change my [thing]", "add a class", "update my profile", "new semester", or "customize". argument-hint: "[section name, or describe what you want to change]"

/customize

When this runs

The user typed /law-student:customize. They want to change something in their study profile — a class, a learning style preference, a bar prep subject — 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/law-student/CLAUDE.md. If the plugin config does not exist or still contains [PLACEHOLDER] values, say:

   You haven't run setup yet. Run /law-student: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:

   • Student profile — name, school, year (1L/2L/3L/LLM), jurisdiction for bar, enrolled clinics or journals
   • Current classes — class name, professor, syllabus path, exam format (closed/open book, essay/MBE/mixed), cold-call style
   • Learning style — Socratic vs. summary, how much pushback you want, whether the plugin rewrites your work or only critiques structurally
   • Outline preferences — outline format (IRAC/CREAC/case-briefing style), level of rule detail, whether to include policy discussion, saved outline templates
   • Bar prep — which exam (UBE/state), subjects in rotation, weak- subject flagging, MBE vs. essay cadence
   • Seed materials — casebook paths, prior outlines, graded essays, old exams, MBE sets, syllabi, papers
   • Study workflow — session length, flashcard Leitner bucket schedule, exam forecast cadence, cold-call prep timing
   • Integrations — document storage / flashcard app (if any) 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:

   • Adding a new class: "/outline-builder will scaffold a new outline for this class. /flashcards will add a new subject bucket. /cold-call-prep will ask for a seat and a topic when you invoke it for this class."
   • Learning style Socratic → summary-first: "/socratic-drill won't ask you to answer first — it'll present the rule and example, then quiz you on application."
   • Adding a bar subject: "/bar-prep-questions will include this subject in rotation and weight it higher if you mark it weak."

5. Close.

   Done. Your next output will reflect the change. Anything else? You can run /law-student:customize anytime.

Guardrails

• Never delete a section. If the user wants to "drop" a class, offer to mark it [Archived — retain seed materials] and explain what flashcard and outline behavior changes.
• Flag internal inconsistency. If the change would make the profile inconsistent (e.g., "summary-first" learning style + "maximum pushback" Socratic setting), flag the tension.
• Flag guardrail degradation. The "no rewriting your writing" rule on /legal-writing and /irac-practice is load-bearing — the value of the skill is structural feedback, not ghost-writing. If the user asks to turn that off, confirm they understand that the plugin will not write their work for them.
• One change at a time. Don't re-ask the whole interview.
