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.

请帮我安装 askskill 上的 "client-intake" 技能： 1. 下载 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/anthropics/claude-for-legal/main/legal-clinic/skills/client-intake/SKILL.md 2. 保存为 ~/.claude/skills/client-intake/SKILL.md 3. 装好后重载技能，告诉我可以用了
~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-clinic/CLAUDE.md → practice areas, intake templates, supervision style, flag triggers./legal-clinic:client-intake
Intake is one of the biggest bottlenecks in clinics. A student might spend 45 minutes interviewing, another hour writing it up, more time spotting the issues. Meanwhile the waitlist grows.
This skill structures the conversation, produces the write-up, spots issues across practice areas, and flags conflicts — so the student's time goes to analysis, not transcription.
What it doesn't do: decide whether to take the case. That's the student's analysis and the professor's judgment. Claude accelerates the information-gathering and structuring, not the lawyering.
~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-clinic/CLAUDE.md → practice areas, intake templates (per practice area if multiple), supervision style, jurisdiction, flag triggers.
Check for a practice-area guide at ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-clinic/guides/<practice-area>.md. If one exists, use its intake questions, red flags, and good-fit criteria instead of the generic defaults below. If one doesn't exist, use the generic intake and note at the end of the intake summary: "This was a generic intake — your supervisor can tailor the questions for your clinic type with /legal-clinic:build-guide."
When the intake starts before the practice area is routed (Step 1 of the workflow below), re-check for the guide after routing — the guide path depends on which practice area the intake landed in.
Which practice area does this intake start in? The client may not know — they know their problem, not the legal category.
"Tell me what's going on — what brought you to the clinic today?"
From the answer, route to the appropriate intake template. If the clinic handles multiple areas and the problem spans them (housing client mentions immigration status, family client mentions domestic violence), note all relevant areas — cross-area issue spotting is a feature, not a bug.
Each practice area asks different questions. Use the template from ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-clinic/CLAUDE.md for this area. Defaults if none provided:
Immigration:
Housing:
Family:
Consumer:
While running the practice-area template, listen for issues outside that area:
| Client says | Also flags |
…
Diff a proposed handbook change against the current version, flag ripple effects and state supplement impacts. Use when user says "update the handbook", "add this to the handbook", "handbook change", or has a policy ready for insertion.
Review an offer letter and any restrictive covenants — jurisdiction check included. Substantive rules (covenant enforceability, pay-transparency, salary-history limits, exemption criteria) are researched per hire, not stored. Use when the user says "review this offer", "can we use a non-compete here", "check this offer letter", "hiring in [state]", or attaches an offer.
Draft an audience-specific summary from the privileged investigation memo — HR, leadership, or outside counsel versions. Use when an investigation memo needs to be communicated to an audience that should not see the full privileged work product.
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.
IRAC-scaffolded case analysis memo with research gaps flagged — the scaffold, not the analysis. Rule blocks are RESEARCH NEEDED, Application is STUDENT ANALYSIS prompts, Conclusion is blank. Use when a student needs to scaffold a case analysis memo, write up their analysis, or build an IRAC memo for a case.
Read VDR documents and extract issues per house categories and materiality thresholds, producing findings in house memo format. Use when user says "review the data room", "extract issues from [folder]", "diligence review", "what's in the VDR", or points at VDR documents.
