About-you interview and materials intake — classes, bar jurisdiction, learning style (drill-me vs explain-to-me), past outlines, graded essays, old exams, MBE sets, syllabi, papers. Use on a fresh install, when the user says "set up" or "get started", or with --check-integrations to re-probe connectors.

# /cold-start-interview
1. Check `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/law-student/CLAUDE.md`. If already populated and no `--redo`, confirm before overwriting. If a populated ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/law-student/CLAUDE.md (no `[PLACEHOLDER]` markers) exists at `~/.claude/plugins/cache/claude-for-legal/law-student/*/CLAUDE.md` but not at the config path, copy it to the config path and tell the user what was migrated.
2. Apply the interview workflow below.
3. Walk Part 0 (who's using / what's connected — student vs. grad vs. other; document storage availability), Part 1 (where you are), Part 2 (how you learn — drill-me vs explain-to-me), Part 3 (strong/shaky/avoid), Part 4 (materials intake — target 10-20 items).
4. Re-read captured answers. Catch contradictions, drifted specifics, gaps worth naming now.
5. Write `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/law-student/CLAUDE.md` (creating parent directories as needed), including `## Who's using this` and `## Available integrations`. Add `LIMITED DATA` flag if fewer than 10 materials were shared.
6. Confirm with the user: "Here's what I captured — anything wrong?"
**`--check-integrations`:** Re-run only the Part 0 integration-availability check. Updates `## Available integrations` in `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/law-student/CLAUDE.md` without touching the role or the rest of the profile. Use after adding or removing an MCP connector.
When probing: only report ✓ if an MCP tool call actually succeeded. Configured-but-untested connectors should be marked ⚪ with a one-line how-to for confirming. Never report ✓ based on `.mcp.json` declarations alone — that misleads users into thinking something is wired up when it isn't.
