# /session
1. Parse `$ARGUMENTS` — subject and N. If missing, ask:
> What subject, and how many questions? (e.g., `Evidence 10` or `Contracts 5 --essay`.)
2. Load `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/law-student/CLAUDE.md` → jurisdiction, exam format, weak subjects.
3. Load `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/law-student/study-plan.yaml` if it exists. Read `session_history` for this subject to weight subtopics toward where the student has been weak.
4. Route by method flag:
- `--mbe` (default for bar prep subjects): load `bar-prep-questions` skill, run N MBE-style questions. Apply jurisdiction handling (see that skill's `## Jurisdiction handling`). Label each `[UBE/majority]` or `[state-specific]`.
- `--essay`: load `bar-prep-questions`, run N essay prompts. Grade per essay-mode rubric.
- `--flashcards`: load `flashcards` skill, run N cards in `--drill` mode.
5. Run N questions one at a time. After each, explain right/wrong and flag rule-body when jurisdictions diverge.
6. At session end, write session results:
- If `study-plan.yaml` exists: append to `session_history` per the schema in the `study-plan` skill.
- If not: write to `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/law-student/session-history.yaml`.
7. Report:
- Score: X/N (percentage)
- Missed: list with subtopic tags
- Weak subtopics this session
- Pattern vs. prior sessions on this subject (if history has 2+ prior)
- What the plan now recommends next
Use when facing 2+ independent tasks that can be worked on without shared state or sequential dependencies
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
