Client Letter: Routine Correspondence

客户信件：常规通信

Purpose

用途

Clinics send a lot of routine correspondence: "your appointment is Tuesday at 2pm," "please bring your lease," "we filed your answer." This skill handles those from templates so students aren't typing the same letter every week.
Scope: routine only. Substantive advice, bad news, case strategy — those are 
/status client
or a conversation, not a template letter.
诊所会发送大量常规通信：“您的预约时间为周二下午2点”、“请携带您的租赁合同”、“我们已提交您的答辩状”。本Skill可基于模板生成此类内容，避免学生每周重复撰写相同信件。
适用范围：仅常规内容。实质性建议、坏消息、案件策略等内容，请使用
/status client
或直接沟通，而非模板信件。

Pedagogy check

教学模式检查

Read the supervisor guide for this practice area at 
~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-clinic/guides/<practice-area>.md
. Check the 
pedagogy_posture
setting:
  • guide
    (default):     Produce the structure and the checklist (required elements, plain-language targets, sign-off per student practice rule). Ask the student to draft each section. Give feedback on their draft (register, reading level, required elements, what they missed). Offer to fill a section only when the student has tried once.
  • assist
    :     Produce the letter. Flag items for student review. The student edits and learns by reviewing.
  • teach
    :     Don't produce the letter. Ask the student to draft it. Give feedback. Ask leading questions when they're stuck. Only show a model paragraph after two attempts, and only the section they're stuck on. Track what they got right and wrong so the supervisor can see progress.
If no guide exists, use 
guide
. If the guide exists but doesn't set a posture, use 
guide
.
Whatever the posture, the output always includes: "Pedagogy mode: [assist/guide/teach] — set by your supervisor's guide. This means I [description of what the student did vs what the skill did]."
阅读
~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-clinic/guides/<practice-area>.md
中的该领域导师指南，查看
pedagogy_posture
设置：
  • guide
    （默认）：     生成信件结构和检查清单（必要要素、平实语言要求、符合学生执业规则的签名格式）。要求学生撰写每个部分，并针对草稿提供反馈（语体、阅读难度、必要要素、遗漏内容）。仅在学生尝试撰写一次后，才协助填充某部分内容。
  • assist
    ：     生成完整信件，标注需学生审核的内容。学生通过审核编辑进行学习。
  • teach
    ：     不生成信件，要求学生自行撰写并提供反馈。当学生遇到困难时提出引导性问题。仅在学生尝试两次后，才展示对应部分的范例段落。记录学生的对错情况，以便导师查看进度。
若不存在对应指南，默认使用
guide
模式。若指南存在但未设置模式，同样使用
guide
模式。
无论采用哪种模式，输出内容必须包含：“教学模式：[assist/guide/teach] — 由导师指南设定。这意味着我会[说明学生与Skill各自的职责]。”

Sign-off and student-attorney disclosure

签名与学生律师披露信息

Check your jurisdiction's student practice rule for required disclosure language in letters signed by a law student. Some jurisdictions require specific forms; most require that the student identify themselves as a law student / certified legal intern and identify the supervising attorney. The templates below use a generic form — conform the sign-off to your rule before sending.
查阅所在地区的学生执业规则，了解法律学生签署信件时需包含的披露语言。部分地区要求特定格式；大多数地区要求学生表明自己是法律学生/认证法律实习生，并注明指导律师信息。以下模板使用通用格式——发送前请根据当地规则调整签名部分。

Letter types

信件类型

Review label goes OUTSIDE the letter. The 
[AI-ASSISTED DRAFT — requires review per plugin config supervision step]
tag is a note to the student, not part of the letter body. Place it above the rendered template (or in a header the student deletes before sending), never inside the fenced letter content. If it ends up in the client-facing copy, the skill has failed.
审核标签需置于信件外部。
[AI-ASSISTED DRAFT — requires review per plugin config supervision step]
标签是给学生的提示，不属于信件正文内容。请将其放在渲染后的模板上方（或学生发送前可删除的页眉中），切勿放在 fenced 信件内容内。若该标签出现在面向客户的内容中，则说明本Skill运行失败。

Before sending

发送前检查

Sending a letter to a client is a consequential action. This plugin's gate is the supervision workflow described in 
## Supervision style
in 
~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-clinic/CLAUDE.md
, reinforced by the Part 0 role check that confirms a licensed supervising attorney owns the clinic setup. That gate still holds: every letter clears review before it leaves the clinic.
Before sending any of the letters above, confirm:
  1. The draft has been reviewed per the supervision protocol in 
    ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-clinic/CLAUDE.md
    (queue / flag / lighter-touch).
  2. All internal review labels (
    [AI-ASSISTED DRAFT]
    , any 
    [VERIFY]
    or 
    [FACT NEEDED]
    tags) have been removed from the client-facing copy.
  3. The sign-off conforms to your jurisdiction's student practice rule for law-student-signed correspondence.
This is a student draft for supervising-attorney review, not a final letter. Sending it has legal consequences for the client and may constitute legal advice or communication on the client's behalf. A licensed supervising attorney reviews, edits, and signs off before the letter leaves the clinic. Do not send without supervisor approval.
向客户发送信件是一项具有法律影响的行为。本插件的管控机制为
~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-clinic/CLAUDE.md
中
## Supervision style
所述的审批流程，并通过Part 0角色检查确认持牌指导律师负责诊所设置。该管控机制仍然有效：所有信件在发出前必须经过审核。
发送上述任何信件前，请确认：
  1. 草稿已按照
    ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-clinic/CLAUDE.md
    中的审批流程完成审核（排队/标记/轻量审核）。
  2. 所有内部审核标签（
    [AI-ASSISTED DRAFT]
    、
    [VERIFY]
    或
    [FACT NEEDED]
    等）已从面向客户的内容中移除。
  3. 签名部分符合所在地区关于法律学生签署通信内容的执业规则。
本内容为供指导律师审核的学生草稿，并非最终信件。发送信件会对客户产生法律影响，可能构成代表客户提供法律建议或进行沟通。持牌指导律师需在信件发出前进行审核、编辑并签字确认。未经导师批准，请勿发送。

Plain-language check

平实语言检查

Per 
~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-clinic/CLAUDE.md
standards. Short sentences. No jargon. Reading level target enforced. If a template above includes a legal term the client might not know, explain it the first time: "We filed your 'answer' — that's the document that tells the court your side of the story."
遵循
~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-clinic/CLAUDE.md
中的标准。使用短句，避免专业术语，严格执行目标阅读难度要求。若上述模板包含客户可能不理解的法律术语，首次出现时需进行解释：“我们已提交您的‘答辩状’——即向法院陈述您方立场的文件。”

Supervision routing

审批流程

Per 
~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-clinic/CLAUDE.md
. Routine correspondence may or may not be a flag trigger depending on the supervision style the professor chose. If lighter-touch: these go out after student review without a queue step. If formal queue: even routine letters queue.
遵循
~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-clinic/CLAUDE.md
中的规定。根据教授选择的审批风格，常规通信可能触发或不触发标记流程。若采用轻量审核：此类信件经学生审核后即可发出，无需排队。若采用正式排队流程：即使是常规信件也需进入审核队列。

What this skill does NOT do

本Skill不支持的内容

  • Substantive advice. If the letter would say "here's what I think about your case" or "here's what you should do," that's not routine — that's 
    /status client
    or a conversation with the professor first.
  • Bad news. Case closing, adverse ruling, can't-help — those need thought, not a template. Flag for professor.
  • Anything to opposing counsel or a court. Different audience, different skill (
    /draft
    or 
    /status court
    ).
  • 实质性法律建议：若信件内容涉及“我对您的案件的看法”或“您应采取的行动”，则不属于常规内容——请先使用
    /status client
    或与教授沟通。
  • 坏消息：案件结案、不利裁决、无法提供帮助等内容需要审慎处理，无法通过模板生成。请标记给教授处理。
  • 发送给对方律师或法院的内容：受众不同，需使用其他Skill（
    /draft
    或
    /status court
    ）。
