study-planBuild or update a long-term bar prep (or exam prep) study plan — phases, subjects weighted by weakness, daily session schedule, adaptive to session history in study-plan.yaml. Use when the user says "build a study plan", "plan my bar prep", "schedule my studying", or "how should I study for [X]".0 installs leave-trackerCheck open leaves for deadline alerts and required decisions. Surfaces only the leaves that require an action and explains why — not a status board. Use weekly, or whenever the attorney needs to know which leaves have upcoming designation, certification, or exhaustion deadlines.0 installs matter-briefingDeep briefing on one matter — current posture, what's changed, next deadline, open questions, and a risk re-assessment check, ready before a GC update or outside counsel call. Use when the user says "brief me on [matter]", "where are we on [matter]", or needs a read on a specific matter.0 installs statusCase status summary by audience — client-facing (plain language), internal (for the professor), or court-ready (formal caption format per local rules). Same facts, different framing and depth. Use when a student needs to update the client, brief the professor, or prepare a court status report.0 installs reg-feed-watcherCheck regulatory feeds now and report what's new since the last check, filtered by your materiality threshold. Use when the user says "check the feeds", "what's new", "regulatory update", when running from the scheduled agent, or when manually pasting a regulatory development for classification and diff.0 installs research-startResearch roadmap for a legal issue — statutes to check, case law areas to investigate, regulatory frameworks, Westlaw search terms. Leads and frameworks, NOT authoritative citations; students verify and develop everything. Use when a student asks where to start researching, wants a research roadmap for an issue, or needs gaps identified in existing research.0 installs

Use when working across multiple clients or matters and you need to keep one engagement's context separate from another, or when a substantive skill needs to know which matter it's working in.0 installs use-case-triageQuickly determine whether a processing activity needs a PIA, a mandatory GDPR DPIA, or can proceed — surfaces privacy policy conflicts and routes to the right next step. Use when the user asks "does this need a PIA", "triage this feature", "privacy check on X", "is this okay from a privacy perspective", or describes a new data processing activity, product feature, or vendor relationship.0 installs customizeGuided customization of your regulatory practice profile — change one thing without re-running the whole cold-start interview. Adjust watched regulators, policy library index, materiality threshold, gap response process, feed configuration, or matter workspace paths. Use when the user says "change my [thing]", "add a regulator", "update my watchlist", "edit my threshold", or "customize".0 installs investigation-openOpen a new internal investigation matter — runs intake, generates the sources checklist, and creates the persistent investigation log. Use when a complaint or allegation comes in and the attorney needs to stand up a privileged investigation workspace.0 installs reg-gap-analysisDiff a new or changed regulation against current privacy policy and practice — outputs a gap list and a remediation plan with owners and dates.
