What it does

This skill turns the agent into a study partner for law exam prep. You name a subject and a number of questions, and it quizzes you one question at a time, explains each answer, and flags where jurisdictions differ. It reads your saved jurisdiction and weak-subject notes and past session results, then writes new results back to a study plan file so later sessions focus on your weak spots.

Great for

  • Law students preparing for bar exam subjects who want repeated, fixed-length drills
  • Students who want a study plan that adjusts based on past performance
  • Students practicing essay or flashcard review alongside multiple-choice questions

Skip it if

  • Students expecting authoritative answers for a specific jurisdiction's bar rules, since the questions and explanations are generated and should be checked against official sources
  • Anyone without the claude-for-legal plugin setup, because the skill depends on its config files and sibling skills (bar-prep-questions, flashcards, study-plan) that are not included in this file
  • Users who want a non-legal study tool, since it is built around law subjects and bar formats

Try asking

  • “run me 10 questions on Evidence”
  • “do a session on Contracts with 5 essay questions”
  • “let's do 5 cards on Torts”

  3. 3

    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

  • Give the subject and number in the form the skill expects, for example "Evidence 10" or "Contracts 5 --essay", so it does not need to ask again.
  • Keep your CLAUDE.md jurisdiction and exam format current so the question routing and [UBE/majority] vs [state-specific] labels are relevant to you.
  • Verify any rule statement the session flags against your official bar materials before relying on it.
