SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill turns scattered litigation documents and matter records into a structured, source-attributed chronology so counsel can reconstruct what happened, identify gaps, and support case narratives without losing provenance or privilege context.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Document-Based Event Extraction: Identify dated communications, meetings, decisions, filings, contract events, and other significant developments from productions, custodial files, emails, and matter sources.
  • Theory-Driven Organization: De-duplicate overlapping events, attach source citations, classify significance from the applicable plaintiff or defense perspective, and produce working, statement-of-facts, or witness-specific timelines.
  • Guardrails and Versioning: Require privilege-posture decisions, enforce matter-intake conflicts gates, flag uncertain or potentially privileged entries, document inaccessible sources and coverage gaps, and version updated chronologies.
  • Use Case: Give the Skill a matter slug and a production folder to build a working chronology that highlights key liability events, preserves Bates or file citations, identifies missing date ranges, and separates flagged material from a statement-of-facts draft.

Quick Start

Ask the chronology skill to build a working timeline for the specified matter from its declared sources and uploaded documents.

Frequently Asked Questions about chronology

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build a chronology from litigation documents and matter records?▼

To build a chronology from litigation documents, provide a matter slug and a production folder so the Skill can extract dated events, de-duplicate overlaps, and attach source citations. It yields a structured, source-attributed timeline reconstructing case developments.

Can I generate a statement of facts from custodial files and email exports?▼

Yes, you can generate a statement of facts from custodial files and email exports. The Skill classifies event significance by case theory and separates flagged material from the statement-of-facts draft to maintain a clean narrative.

How does privilege screening work when creating a case timeline?▼

Privilege screening during timeline creation requires privilege-posture decisions and flags potentially privileged entries. The Skill enforces matter-intake conflicts gates to ensure sensitive material is identified and separated before drafting chronologies.

What is the best way to identify gaps and missing date ranges in a document production?▼

The best way to identify gaps in a document production is to use the Skill to document inaccessible sources and report missing date ranges. It preserves provenance and highlights coverage gaps within your working chronology.

Does this timeline tool support incremental updates and versioning for ongoing productions?▼

Yes, this timeline tool supports incremental updates and versioning for ongoing productions. It versions updated chronologies so you can track changes and additions as new custodial files or matter records are introduced.

Can I organize a witness-specific chronology from productions without losing provenance?▼

Yes, you can organize a witness-specific chronology from productions without losing provenance. The Skill preserves Bates or file citations and attaches source references to every extracted event for defensible attribution.
