# /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.
You MUST use this before any creative work - creating features, building components, adding functionality, or modifying behavior. Explores user intent, requirements and design before implementation.
Use when you have a written implementation plan to execute in a separate session with review checkpoints
Use when executing implementation plans with independent tasks in the current session
