legal-writing

Structural feedback on a legal writing draft (memo, brief, paper, exam essay) — organization, analysis depth, clarity, citation form. NEVER rewrites the draft. Use when the user says "feedback on my memo", "read my draft", or "critique my brief".

# /legal-writing

1. Load `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/law-student/CLAUDE.md` → class, writing skill level, past feedback patterns.
2. Apply the framework below.
3. Read full draft top to bottom. Identify structural type (memo / brief / paper / essay).
4. Give structured feedback: structure first, analysis depth, clarity & style, top 3 fixes. Flag `[VERIFY]` on any substantive rule call I'm unsure about.
5. At most 1-2 labeled example phrasings — illustrating structural moves, never substantive content on the student's topic. Every example labeled "write yours — don't copy."
6. If asked to rewrite: refuse gracefully. Offer targeted structural feedback instead.
7. Append to `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/law-student/writing-feedback/[student]/tracker.md` for pattern detection.
