What it does

When installed, this skill makes the agent run a one-time setup interview for a product-counsel legal workflow. The agent asks whether you want a quick (about 2 minutes) or full (about 15 minutes) setup, then reads about 10 of your past launch review documents from a tracker or cloud drive, builds a table of what your company actually blocked versus shipped, and writes a practice profile file that later commands use. It can also re-probe connected tools without re-interviewing you, and it marks a connection as working only after a real tool call succeeds.

Great for

  • In-house product or privacy counsel setting up the claude-for-legal product-legal plugin for the first time
  • Legal teams that want the agent to reflect their own historical launch decisions rather than generic defaults
  • Users re-onboarding after their config has placeholders or was left mid-setup

Skip it if

  • Anyone who is not reviewing product launches or feature risk; the skill itself points them elsewhere
  • People who do not want their launch review documents read by an AI agent, since it reads about 10 past reviews from a tracker or Drive
  • Users who need legal advice; the output is a configuration profile, not a legal opinion

Try asking

  • “/product-legal:cold-start-interview”
  • “/product-legal:cold-start-interview --redo”
  • “/product-legal:cold-start-interview --check-integrations”

Get better results

  • Use the quick path first if you are unsure; you can upgrade later with --full
  • Confirm the integration check results: a configured but untested connector shows as unverified until a real call succeeds
  • Review the calibration table the agent shows before confirming it, since it shapes future reviews
