Guided customization of your corporate practice profile — change one thing without re-running the whole cold-start interview. Adjust risk posture, escalation contacts, active modules (M&A / Board / Public Company / Entity Management), materiality thresholds, disclosure schedule format, consent precedents, or matter workspace paths. Use when the user says "change my [thing]", "update my profile", "edit my config", or "customize".

  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • Self-contained

    Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.

  • Open source

    Published by anthropics on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Customize AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.
2

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/anthropics/claude-for-legal.git /tmp/claude-for-legal
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/claude-for-legal/corporate-legal/skills/customize .claude/skills/customize
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Customize in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Customize on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Customize is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

/customize

When this runs

The user typed /corporate-legal:customize. They want to change something in their practice profile — a risk posture, an escalation contact, a module toggle, an output format — without re-running the whole cold-start interview and without hand-editing YAML.

What to do

  1. Read the config. Read ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/corporate-legal/CLAUDE.md (and ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/company-profile.md one level up). If the plugin config does not exist or still contains [PLACEHOLDER] values, say:

    You haven't run setup yet. Run /corporate-legal:cold-start-interview first — customize is for adjusting a profile you already have.

  2. Show the customizable map. List what's in the profile, grouped, with a one-line summary of the current value:

    • Company / who you are — name, industry, jurisdictions, stage, public vs. private, practice setting (shared across all 12 plugins — changes flow through company-profile.md)
    • Active modules — which of M&A, Board & Secretary, Public Company, Entity Management are on. Turning a module on/off changes which skills prompt for setup.
    • Risk posture — conservative / middle / aggressive, what each means for diligence materiality and disclosure schedule scope
    • People — deal team, board secretary, entity management owner, escalation chain
    • M&A module — materiality thresholds (contract value, headcount, revenue), data room platforms trusted, AI bulk-review trust level (Luminance / Kira), deal-team briefing cadence
    • Board & Secretary module — house consent format, signatory preferences, committee structure
    • Public Company module — reporting calendar, disclosure controls, 10-K/10-Q review timing
    • Entity Management module — entity table, registered agent, filing jurisdictions, annual report calendar
    • Workflow — matter workspaces (deal rooms), closing checklist location, VDR watcher cadence
    • Integrations — Box / Intralinks / Datasite / CT Corp / Slack status, fallbacks
  3. Ask what they want to change.

    What would you like to adjust? Pick a section, or describe the change in your own words.

  4. Make the change. Show the current value, ask for the new value, explain what changes downstream, confirm, write it to the config.

    Examples:

    • Materiality threshold $250K → $500K: "/diligence-issue-extraction and /material-contract-schedule will now treat $500K as the cutoff. Existing findings stay as logged; re-run if you want the new threshold applied retroactively."
    • Turning on the Public Company module: "I'll prompt you for reporting calendar and disclosure controls next time you run anything in that area."
    • AI bulk-review trust "check every row" → "spot-check 10%": "/ai-tool- handoff will QA a 10% sample rather than every extraction."
  5. For shared-profile changes (company name, industry, jurisdictions, practice setting, stage): write to ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/company-profile.md and note:

    This change affects all 12 plugins — any plugin that reads your jurisdiction footprint now sees [new value].

  6. Close.

    Done. Your next output will reflect the change. Anything else? You can run /corporate-legal:customize anytime.

Guardrails

  • Never delete a section. If the user wants to "remove" something, set it to [Not configured] and explain what that means for the plugin's behavior.
  • Flag internal inconsistency. If the change would make the profile inconsistent (e.g., Public Company module off + "SEC counsel" in escalation; or aggressive risk posture + $25K materiality threshold), flag the tension.
  • Flag guardrail degradation. The [review] flag, source attribution tags on retrieved documents, and [verify] tags on cited authorities are load-bearing — explain the trade-off before removing.
  • One change at a time. Don't re-ask the whole interview.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Customize AI skill do?

Guided customization of your corporate practice profile — change one thing without re-running the whole cold-start interview. Adjust risk posture, escalation contacts, active modules (M&A / Board / Public Company / Entity Management), materiality thresholds, disclosure schedule format, consent precedents, or matter workspace paths. Use when the user says "change my [thing]", "update my profile", "edit my config", or "customize".

Why use Customize on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Customize is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Customize in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/anthropics/claude-for-legal/tree/main/corporate-legal/skills/customize. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Customize?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Customize?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Customize with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Customize AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by anthropics under the Apache-2.0 license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
