Student semester onboarding — clinic procedures, tool walkthrough, practice exercises before real cases. Reads the handbook the professor uploaded at setup and teaches it interactively. Use when a new clinic student says "onboard me", "I'm new to the clinic", "getting started", or at the start of each semester; pass --card for the one-page reference.

IRAC-scaffolded case analysis memo with research gaps flagged — the scaffold, not the analysis. Rule blocks are RESEARCH NEEDED, Application is STUDENT ANALYSIS prompts, Conclusion is blank.

NOT substantive advice. Use when a student needs to send routine correspondence, an appointment confirmation, a document request letter, or a brief status note to a client.

Structured intake — practice-area templates, cross-area issue spotting, conflict flags, and triage classification. Produces a formatted case summary the student analyzes and the professor reviews.

Trademark clearance first pass — knockout + similar-marks check producing a flag list, not a clearance opinion.

This skill never concludes a mark is clear.

Classify a proposed worker engagement — employee, IC, temp, or vendor — by running the applicable jurisdiction tests and flagging misclassification gaps between the intended arrangement and what the facts actually support. Prospective use only. Use when someone says "we want to bring on a contractor", "is this a vendor or a temp", "how should we classify this person", or describes a proposed working arrangement.

Jurisdiction-aware wage/hour and employment Q&A — classification, overtime, meal/rest breaks, leave, final pay — answered for the specific state/country with the controlling rule researched and cited rather than stated from memory. Use when the user asks any employment law question, or says "what's the rule in [state]", "is this exempt", "do we have to pay overtime for", or "can we classify this as".
