0upvotes

Run the cold-start interview to learn your commercial contracts practice and write your team practice profile. Use on first use of the plugin, when `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/commercial-legal/CLAUDE.md` is missing or still contains template placeholders, or when the user says "set up the plugin", "configure commercial contracts", "onboard me", or "let's get started". This is the only skill that should run on a fresh install.

# /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.
