Generate or drill flashcards for black-letter memorization — Leitner-style buckets, per-subject markdown storage, drill mode with self-assessment. Use when the user says "drill flashcards", "make flashcards from", "quiz me on cards", or wants to memorize rules.

Please install the "flashcards" skill from askskill: 1. Download https://raw.githubusercontent.com/anthropics/claude-for-legal/main/law-student/skills/flashcards/SKILL.md 2. Save it as ~/.claude/skills/flashcards/SKILL.md 3. Reload skills and tell me it's ready

Write to ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/law-student/flashcards/[subject]/cards.md.--drill (default): prioritize due cards + new; show Q, wait for answer, show A, take self-assessment, update buckets + next review.--review: browse deck by bucket.--stats: progress snapshot; flag stuck cards for verbal drill.--session <n>: focused N-card session, prioritized by prior misses + due cards; appends results to study-plan.yaml → session_history.[VERIFY].If the question the student is asking sounds like it's about a REAL situation — their lease, their parking ticket, their family's business, their friend's arrest, a real dollar amount, a real deadline, a real party name — stop.
"This sounds like a real situation, not a hypothetical. I can't give you legal advice, and you can't give it either — you're not a lawyer yet. If this is real, [the person] needs an actual lawyer: legal aid, your school's clinic, a lawyer referral service (your jurisdiction's bar association, law society, or legal aid body), or (if there's money) a private attorney. I'm happy to help you understand the general legal concepts involved, but that's study, not advice."
Watch for: real names, real addresses, real dates, specific dollar amounts, "my landlord/boss/parent/friend," "I got a ticket/letter/notice," deadlines measured in days. Any one of these is a trigger.
Outlines are for synthesis; flashcards are for memorization. The bar exam and most law school exams reward fast rule recall. This skill generates cards from your outline (or notes or casebook excerpts), drills them with light spacing, and tracks what's stuck and what hasn't.
Not a full SRS system. Simple Leitner-style buckets. Good enough to study, light enough to maintain. If you want Anki, use Anki; this is for when you're in chat and want a quick drill.
Same rule as the other content-generating skills:

Ask questions against an open investigation log — what witnesses said, where accounts conflict, what gaps exist, what the strongest evidence is on each issue. Use when the attorney needs to query the investigation record without re-reading every entry.
EU AI Act per-system inventory — track each AI system's role (provider, deployer, importer, distributor, authorized representative, product manufacturer) and risk tier (prohibited, high-risk, limited, minimal, GPAI, GPAI+systemic). Role and tier are assessed per system, not per company. Use when the user says "ai inventory", "add an ai system", "what systems do we have", "classify this ai system", "eu ai act register", or "ai system registry".
Draft a firm AI usage policy from published model policies, adapted to your practice profile — a research-and-synthesis tool whose output is a draft for attorney review and adoption, not a finished policy. Use when user says "draft an AI policy", "we need an AI policy", "build an AI usage policy", "our firm needs a GenAI policy", or similar requests to generate a first-cut internal AI policy.
Review vendor AI terms — agreement, addendum, or ToS AI provisions — against your governance positions; flag training-on-data, liability, model changes, and AI policy consistency. Use when user says "review this AI agreement", "check OpenAI terms", "what did we agree to with [vendor]", "vendor sent an AI addendum", "is this AI contract okay", or attaches vendor AI terms.
Route a contract issue to the right approver per the escalation matrix in `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/commercial-legal/CLAUDE.md`, and draft the ask. Use when the user says "who needs to approve this", "escalate this", "does this need GC sign-off", "route this for approval", or when another skill finds an issue that exceeds the reviewer's authority.
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.
