status

status is a skill for Claude Code from anthropics/claude-for-legal. It costs 60 tokens per session (1,662 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A case-status summary workflow for legal clinics. It presents the same case facts differently for a client, a professor, or a court, including plain-language, internal, and formal court versions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Preparing client updates, internal professor briefings, or court status reports from case notes.
Why use it?
Different readers need different levels of detail and formality. It reduces the work of rewriting case notes while keeping the summary tied to the case record.

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

status 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 — 195 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/status

  1. Load ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-clinic/CLAUDE.md → supervision style, plain-language standards, jurisdiction.
  2. Use the workflow below. Read case notes.
  3. Generate for the specified audience:
    • client — plain language, what happened/next/you do/reach us
    • internal — procedural posture, done since last check-in, upcoming, needs professor input, student's assessment
    • court — formal status report in caption format per local rules
  4. Supervision routing per audience (client-facing and court-ready usually flag).
/legal-clinic:status client
/legal-clinic:status internal
/legal-clinic:status court

Status: Audience-Aware Case Summaries

Purpose

Clinics generate enormous numbers of status updates — to clients, to professors, to co-counsel, to courts. Same case, same facts, completely different documents. This skill takes the case notes and produces the right summary for the right reader.

Load context

~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-clinic/CLAUDE.md → supervision style, plain-language standards (for client-facing), jurisdiction. Case notes for facts.

Audience modes

Client-facing

Reader: The client. Probably stressed. Possibly unfamiliar with legal process. Reading level per ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-clinic/CLAUDE.md plain-language standards (default 6th grade).

Include:

  • What's happened since they last heard from the clinic
  • What's happening next and when
  • What (if anything) they need to do
  • How to reach the clinic

Don't include:

  • Legal analysis (they don't need to know the IRAC)
  • Weaknesses in their case (unless it's time to have that conversation — and that's a call for the professor, not a status update)
  • Jargon

Review label for the student (not for the client — strip before sending): [AI-ASSISTED DRAFT — requires student review and supervision step per plugin config]

Check your jurisdiction's student practice rule for required law-student sign-off language; some jurisdictions require specific forms.

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.
