What it does

This skill lets a law clinic professor or student adjust a single setting in the clinic's saved profile, such as jurisdiction, supervision style, practice-area templates, or semester rollover, without repeating the full setup interview. The agent first reads the existing profile file, shows a grouped list of current values, asks what to change, explains which other clinic commands will be affected, confirms, and then writes the change. It also warns when a change would weaken safeguards like supervisor review or the 'not final work product' labeling, and it never deletes sections, only archives them.

Great for

  • Law clinic professors updating jurisdiction, supervision style, or semester settings
  • Clinic administrators starting a new semester and rolling over active cases
  • Students who need to add a practice area and want the supervisor involved in the decision

Skip it if

  • Anyone who has not already completed the clinic setup interview, since the skill stops and asks them to run setup first
  • Users who want to remove safeguards on client-facing work without supervisor input, because the skill itself flags that as a risk to student work reaching clients unreviewed
  • Non-lawyers seeking legal advice; the skill configures a clinic tool and does not provide legal analysis

Try asking

  • “customize”
  • “change my jurisdiction to Oregon”
  • “new semester”
  • “add a practice area for expungement”

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Run the command with a section name, such as 'supervision style', to jump straight to that setting.
  • Before turning off formal review or output safeguards, talk to the supervising professor, as the skill itself recommends for students.
  • Ask what downstream commands will change before confirming an edit, so you know which outputs will be affected.
