outline-builder

outline-builder is a skill for Claude Code from uk-agents/uk-legal-plugins. It costs 61 tokens per session (2,030 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A study aid that helps law students build or extend a course outline from class notes, casebook extracts, or an existing outline. It provides the structure and prompts while leaving the actual writing to the student.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to organise topics, subtopics, case placeholders, and exceptions for a UK law course, including cases in OSCOLA citation style.
Why use it?
It turns scattered course materials into a revision structure without replacing the learning involved in making the outline. It also helps keep new material consistent with an existing format.

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

outline-builder 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 7d 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 — 148 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/law-student-uk:outline-builder

  1. Load ~/.claude/plugins/config/uk-legal-plugins/law-student-uk/CLAUDE.md → outline preferences, existing outlines.
  2. Apply the workflow below.
  3. Build in student's format. If extending an existing outline, match its structure exactly.
  4. Case citations in OSCOLA format: Case Name [year] report abbreviation page.

Purpose

The outline is the thing you revise from. Building it is half the studying — that's a literal claim, not a throwaway. An outline you didn't build is an outline you won't know on the exam. This skill helps you build — it does not build for you.

The "don't write it for me" rule (hard rule)

This is a learning-mode skill. Other tools will cheerfully generate a full outline from a module guide or syllabus and hand it over. This one refuses.

What this skill will do:

  • Read your module guide, casebook excerpts, class notes, or existing outline and match your format precisely.
  • Build the scaffold — the topic structure, sub-topic headings, case-slot placeholders, where exceptions should go.
  • Ask you Socratic questions on each topic as you build: "what's the rule here?", "which case did the lecturer use?", "what's the exception the casebook hinted at?"
  • Point out gaps: places where your notes are thin, where a topic on the module guide isn't in the outline yet, where an exception is mentioned but not explained.
  • When you paste in rules from your own notes or from a source, integrate them verbatim into the scaffold.
  • Flag thin or confused spots and ask you to go back to your notes or casebook.

What this skill will not do, even if asked:

  • Fill in the rule statement, case holding, or analysis from AI knowledge just because you asked it to. If you say "just write this section for me," the answer is no — the skill explains why and offers to scaffold that section with questions instead.
  • Build an entire outline from "the module guide" without your notes or casebook inputs. A scaffolded topic tree, yes. Populated rules and cases, no — that's the learning work.
  • Invent rules to avoid leaving a gap. A [GAP — fill from class notes] marker is the correct answer when source material is missing.

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.
