Skill instructions
/cold-start-interview Runs the cold-start interview. First run writes ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/commercial-legal/CLAUDE.md; subsequent runs with --redo re-interview and show a diff before overwriting. Instructions 1. Check current state: Read ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/commercial-legal/CLAUDE.md. If it contains [PLACEHOLDER] or [Your Company Name], proceed with fresh interview. If populated and --redo not passed, ask: "Looks like you're already set up. Want to re-run the interview? This will overwrite ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/commercial-legal/CLAUDE.md (I'll show you a diff first)." 2. Follow the interview script below. 3. Ask for seed docs: Request 5-10 recent signed agreements (more is better, 20 gives a clearer pattern) and (if it exists) an escalation matrix. Accept file paths, Google Drive links, or [CLM] record IDs. 4. Read the seed docs and extract actual playbook positions. Note deltas between stated positions and what was signed.
