# /cease-desist
Two modes. Pick one:
- `/ip-legal:cease-desist --send` — draft a cease-and-desist letter calibrated to your enforcement posture. Loud gate runs before delivery.
- `/ip-legal:cease-desist --receive` — triage a C&D someone sent you. Produces an options memo with a recommendation.
## Instructions
1. **Read the practice profile.** Load `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/ip-legal/CLAUDE.md`. If it contains `[PLACEHOLDER]` markers or does not exist, stop and say: "This plugin needs setup before it can give you useful output. Run `/ip-legal:cold-start-interview` — the C&D skill depends on your enforcement posture, approval matrix, and practice-area mix, none of which are configured yet."
2. **Check matter workspaces.** Per `## Matter workspaces`: if `Enabled` is `✗`, skip — skills use practice-level context. If enabled and there is no active matter, ask: "Which matter is this for? Run `/ip-legal:matter-workspace switch <slug>` or say `practice-level`."
3. **Dispatch on `$ARGUMENTS`:**
