client-intake

client-intake is a skill for Claude Code from anthropics/claude-for-legal. It costs 65 tokens per session (2,825 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A structured legal-client intake workflow. It organizes an interview into a case summary, flags possible conflicts and issues across practice areas, and classifies the matter for triage.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when opening a matter, interviewing a new client, or preparing a reviewed summary for supervision.
Why use it?
It reduces time spent transcribing interviews and helps surface information that needs student or professor review. It does not decide whether the clinic accepts the case.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

client-intake scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 24d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 249 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/client-intake

  1. Load ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-clinic/CLAUDE.md → practice areas, intake templates, supervision style, flag triggers.
  2. Use the workflow below.
  3. Route to practice-area template. Listen for cross-area issues throughout.
  4. Conflict check flags. Triage classification.
  5. Output formatted case summary with AI-assisted label, verification prompts, supervision routing.

Client Intake

Purpose

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.

Load context

~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-clinic/CLAUDE.md → practice areas, intake templates (per practice area if multiple), supervision style, jurisdiction, flag triggers.

Read the supervisor guide

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.

Workflow

Step 1: Practice area routing

Which practice area does this intake start in? The client may not know — they know their problem, not the legal category.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
