SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill drafts a checkable first pass of a brief section that stays consistent with your case theory and record, tying every fact and citation to the arguments you plan to make.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Theory-aligned drafting: produces in-house formatted language that matches the loaded house style and the case theory (not generic motion-writing).
  • Record-fidelity safeguards: embeds explicit verification markers for every fact, quote, and uncertain legal proposition, and enforces rules around verbatim quotations and pinpoint support.
  • Section-targeted output: supports drafting for common litigation components such as statement of facts, standards of review, argument sections, and conclusions.

Use it when you need a first draft of a specific section (for example, “write the statement of facts” or “draft the argument section on [issue]”) so your partner can edit and you can then run cite-checking.

Quick Start

Ask: draft the brief section for the matter currently loaded, including the statement of facts or the requested argument section, in our house style with verification markers for any fact or citation needing confirmation.
