Bar prep questions — MBE or essay, targeted at your weak subjects and bar jurisdiction. Tracks misses and comes back to patterns. Use when the user says "bar prep", "MBE questions", "practice essay", or "test me for the bar".

Brief a case in your preferred format. In drill-me mode, makes the student state the holding first. Use when the user says "brief [case]", "what's the holding in", "case brief", or pastes a case.

Prep for a cold-call — predict the professor's likely questions and drill them Socratically, flagging where you're shaky so you know what to re-read before class. Use when the user says "prep for class tomorrow", "cold call [case]", "what might [professor] ask on", or points at assigned reading.

About-you interview and materials intake — classes, bar jurisdiction, learning style (drill-me vs explain-to-me), past outlines, graded essays, old exams, MBE sets, syllabi, papers. Use on a fresh install, when the user says "set up" or "get started", or with --check-integrations to re-probe connectors.

Guided customization of your law-student study profile — change one thing without re-running the whole cold-start interview. Adjust current classes, learning style, outline preferences, bar prep subjects, seed materials, or study session cadence. Use when the user says "change my [thing]", "add a class", "update my profile", "new semester", or "customize".

Analyze past exams from the same professor to surface patterns — subject weighting, recurring issue-spot traps, favored hypo types, policy-vs-doctrine mix — and forecast likely emphases for the upcoming exam. Use when the user says "what's on the exam", "analyze past exams", "predict the exam", or shares past exams.

Generate or drill flashcards for black-letter memorization — Leitner-style buckets, per-subject markdown storage, drill mode with self-assessment. Use when the user says "drill flashcards", "make flashcards from", "quiz me on cards", or wants to memorize rules.

Grade an IRAC essay for structure, issue-spotting, rule accuracy, analysis depth, and organization. Does NOT rewrite the essay or show a model answer; tracks patterns across sessions. Use when the user says "grade my IRAC", "check my essay", or "I wrote this, give me feedback".

Structural feedback on a legal writing draft (memo, brief, paper, exam essay) — organization, analysis depth, clarity, citation form. NEVER rewrites the draft. Use when the user says "feedback on my memo", "read my draft", or "critique my brief".

Build or extend a course outline in your format, from class notes and casebook. Scaffolds — it does not write the outline for you. Use when the user says "outline [subject]", "add to my outline", "build an outline from", or points at class materials.

Run a focused N-question study session on a subject — MBE, essay, or flashcards. Tracks performance and updates the study plan. Use when the user says "run me 10 questions on [subject]", "do a session on [subject]", "let's do 5 cards on [subject]", or wants to drill a fixed number of questions and have the plan adapt.

Socratic drilling — it asks, you answer, it pushes back. Does NOT give you the answer until you've earned it. Use when the user says "drill me on", "quiz me", "socratic", "test me on [subject]", or wants to study actively.

Build or update a long-term bar prep (or exam prep) study plan — phases, subjects weighted by weakness, daily session schedule, adaptive to session history in study-plan.yaml. Use when the user says "build a study plan", "plan my bar prep", "schedule my studying", or "how should I study for [X]".
