cease-desist

SKILL.md

/cease-desist

Two modes. Pick one:

  • /ip-legal:cease-desist --send — draft a cease-and-desist letter calibrated to your enforcement posture. Loud gate runs before delivery.
  • /ip-legal:cease-desist --receive — triage a C&D someone sent you. Produces an options memo with a recommendation.

Instructions

  1. Read the practice profile. Load ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/ip-legal/CLAUDE.md. If it contains [PLACEHOLDER] markers or does not exist, stop and say: "This plugin needs setup before it can give you useful output. Run /ip-legal:cold-start-interview — the C&D skill depends on your enforcement posture, approval matrix, and practice-area mix, none of which are configured yet."

  2. Check matter workspaces. Per ## Matter workspaces: if Enabled is , skip — skills use practice-level context. If enabled and there is no active matter, ask: "Which matter is this for? Run /ip-legal:matter-workspace switch <slug> or say practice-level."

  3. Dispatch on $ARGUMENTS:

    • If --send is present: run send mode (below). Walk through identify-the-right, identify-the-conduct, identify-the-relationship, identify-the-demand, calibrate-to-posture, draft, and the pre-delivery gate.
    • If --receive is present: run receive mode (below). Ask for the incoming letter (path or pasted text), then assess, identify exposure, present options, and write the triage memo.
    • If neither flag is present: ask once — "Are we sending a cease-and-desist (you're asserting) or triaging one we received (you're defending)?" — and then dispatch.
  4. Respect the gate. In send mode, the loud gate runs before any final draft is written to disk. Do not skip it.
