/expansion-update

Returns to an open expansion tracker and updates item status based on what has happened since the last session. Recalculates what is now unblocked, flags anything overdue, and surfaces the next priorities.

Instructions

1. Load ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/employment-legal/CLAUDE.md.

2. Identify the tracker file: ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/employment-legal/expansion-[slug].yaml. If it doesn't exist, respond: "No expansion tracker found for [country]. Run /employment-legal:expansion-kickoff [country] to start one."

3. Read the tracker. Show the current state:

[Country] Expansion — last updated [date]
Open: [N] | In progress: [N] | Done: [N] | Blocked: [N]

Next priorities (open items with earliest due dates or highest-dependency):
  [item] — owner: [owner]
  [item] — owner: [owner]
  [item] — owner: [owner]

4. Ask for updates in a single prompt — do not ask about each item one by one:

   Which items have moved since we last looked? Tell me what's changed (e.g., "EOR decision made — going with Deel", "outside counsel engaged — call scheduled for Thursday", "PE analysis still open, waiting on tax"). You can also add new items or change due dates.

5. Apply updates to the tracker file. For any item newly marked done, check whether it unblocks other items and flag those as now actionable.

6. If any item has a due date that has passed and is still open or in-progress, flag it:

⚠️ Overdue: [item] — was due [date], owner: [owner]

7. Write the updated tracker. Confirm:

Tracker updated — [N] items closed, [N] still open.
Next priority: [top open item].

Examples

/employment-legal:expansion-update Germany

/employment-legal:expansion-update
(will ask which country if multiple trackers exist)

Detailed tracker schema, item-status rules, and dependency logic live in the international-expansion reference skill — load it before doing substantive work.
