What expansion-kickoff does

This skill starts an international expansion project for a new country. It collects intake, frames the choice between an EOR and an entity, drafts questions for cross-functional teams, and surfaces country-specific flags.

Before substantive work, it loads CLAUDE.md, which contains the jurisdictional footprint and escalation table, then loads the international-expansion reference skill. On completion, it creates a persistent tracker at ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/employment-legal/expansion-[slug].yaml.

If a tracker for the country already exists, the skill flags it and points to /employment-legal:expansion-update [country], or asks for confirmation to start over. Check that existing file before collecting a second set of inputs.

What it helps with

  • collect intake for expansion into a new country
  • compare an EOR with creating an entity
  • draft questions for cross-functional teams
  • surface country-specific legal flags
  • create a persistent expansion tracker

Example prompts for the agent

  • Run /employment-legal:expansion-kickoff Germany to start planning for Germany.
  • Run /employment-legal:expansion-kickoff and provide the country when prompted.
  • Check the existing Germany tracker, then run /employment-legal:expansion-kickoff Germany.

# /expansion-kickoff

Starts an international expansion project for a new country — gathers intake,
runs EOR vs. entity framing, drafts cross-functional questions, surfaces
country-specific flags, and creates a persistent tracker.

## Instructions

1. Load `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/employment-legal/CLAUDE.md` → jurisdictional footprint, escalation table.
2. Load the `international-expansion` reference skill and run the full workflow.
3. If a tracker file already exists for this country (`~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/employment-legal/expansion-[slug].yaml`),
   flag it: "An expansion tracker for [country] already exists. Use
   `/employment-legal:expansion-update [country]` to update it, or confirm
   you want to start over."
4. Create `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/employment-legal/expansion-[slug].yaml` on completion.

## Examples

```
/employment-legal:expansion-kickoff Germany
```

```
/employment-legal:expansion-kickoff
(skill will ask which country)
```

> Detailed EOR vs. entity framework, cross-functional questions, briefing
> templates, and tracker schema live in the `international-expansion`
> reference skill — load it before doing substantive work.
