Skill instructions
/cold-start-interview Runs the cold-start interview. First run writes ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/ip-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/ip-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/ip-legal/CLAUDE.md (I'll show you a diff first)." 2. Follow the interview script below. 3. Ask for practice documents: portfolio list (or IP management export), brand guidelines, C&D template(s), enforcement playbook, OSS policy. Accept file paths, Google Drive links, or IP-management record IDs. 4. Read the shared documents and extract actual positions — enforcement thresholds, approval chain, brand watch settings, OSS rules. Note
