/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.
