## What it does

The skill creates a review gate for student work before anything reaches a client or a court docket. Drafts and client letters sit in `references/review-queue.yaml`. By default, the command groups pending files by urgency and by student, highlighting deadline-sensitive filings first.

Supervisors inspect the draft alongside its flagged triggers and student notes. From there, the supervisor can approve the item, return it with revision notes, or edit it directly prior to approval. Direct edits keep the original file in the log, giving students a clear diff to study. Every action writes to an audit log to verify that a licensed professional reviewed the material.

This queue stays dormant unless the supervision style in `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-clinic/CLAUDE.md` is set to "formal review queue". It will not auto-approve submissions.

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-for-legal/tree/HEAD/legal-clinic/skills/supervisor-review-queue/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- gate student court filings behind licensed supervisor approval
- log supervision actions for clinic compliance records
- return draft filings with specific local rule notes
- preserve draft diffs during supervisor inline editing

## Example prompts
- /legal-clinic:supervisor-review-queue
- /legal-clinic:supervisor-review-queue --approve Q-003
- /legal-clinic:supervisor-review-queue --return Q-004 "Check the service requirement — local rules changed"

# /supervisor-review-queue

1. Check `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-clinic/CLAUDE.md` → supervision style. If NOT "formal review queue": explain the clinic is set up for [flags/lighter-touch], no formal queue exists, and how to switch.
2. Use the workflow below.
3. Default: show what's waiting, by urgency, by student.
4. Actions: approve / edit-then-approve / return with note. All logged.

# Supervisor Review Queue (Optional)

## Purpose

Some clinics want a formal gate: student drafts, professor reviews, output releases. Others find that too prescriptive — they supervise through case rounds and one-on-ones, not through a queue.

**This skill is only active if `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-clinic/CLAUDE.md` → Supervision style is "formal review queue."** Otherwise it's dormant — the cold-start interview asks the professor which model they want, and this is one of three options.

Whether to use a formal review workflow is genuinely an open question for clinic adoption. It depends on student experience level, caseload, and how the professor already runs supervision. The professor decides at setup and can change it later.

## Load context

`~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-clinic/CLAUDE.md` → supervision style. If NOT "formal review queue": respond with "The clinic is set up for [flags/lighter-touch] supervision — there's no formal queue. [Professor] reviews through [the clinic's existing structure]. To switch to a formal queue, edit CLAUDE.md → Supervision style."

If formal queue IS enabled → read flag triggers and proceed.

## The queue

Lives at `references/review-queue.yaml`. Each entry:

```yaml
- id: Q-001
  type: "draft"  # intake | draft | memo | status | client-letter
  client: "[name or ID]"
  student: "[name]"
  submitted: [timestamp]
  flags:
    - rule: "Court filing"
      detail: "Eviction answer — always queued"
````
