SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you quickly build a defensible, dated chronology from litigation documents and uploads, turning scattered evidence into an ordered timeline you can use for statements of facts, skeleton arguments, and witness preparation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Matter- or production-based building: Create a chronology from the matter workspace case theory and document sources, or extract from disclosure/production document sets.
  • Evidence-first event extraction: Extract dated events from PDFs, emails, Word/text files, and disclosure exports while recording sources for every entry.
  • Advocacy-ready significance tagging: Tag events for claimants/defendants (🔴/🟡/⚪) using the matter theory’s pivot fact and key facts.
  • Privilege and review guardrails: Enforce a privilege posture gate (A-cleared, B-mixed, C-aborted) and apply per-entry privilege flags when needed.
  • Gap detection and traceability: Stop when source coverage is thin or inaccessible, and report gaps instead of guessing.

Quick Start

Use the chronology skill to build a working chronology from your disclosure and matter context by running the command you pass as the slug and optional format flag.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build a litigation chronology from disclosure documents?

To build a litigation chronology from disclosure documents, the Skill extracts dated events from production sets and merges duplicates while tagging each entry by significance to your matter theory. It outputs a working timeline with source-first attribution.

What is a privilege posture gate in litigation evidence extraction?

A privilege posture gate in evidence extraction enforces review guardrails during chronology building by classifying document sets as A-cleared, B-mixed, or C-aborted. It applies per-entry privilege flags to maintain legal privilege compliance.

Can I use this Skill to create a statement of facts from case theory documents?

Yes, you can create a statement of facts from case theory documents. The Skill builds matter-centric timelines from a matter.md case theory file and outputs optional statement-of-facts or witness-specific variants alongside the working chronology.

What is the best way to generate CPR timelines from emails and PDFs?

The best way to generate CPR timelines from emails and PDFs is using evidence-first event extraction that processes these file types directly, records document sources for every entry, and formats the output with OSCOLA-ready citations.

Does the chronology Skill handle gap detection when source coverage is thin?

Yes, the chronology Skill handles gap detection by stopping when source coverage is thin or inaccessible. Instead of guessing missing events, it reports coverage gaps to maintain traceability and defensibility in the litigation timeline.

How does significance tagging work for claimants and defendants in a matter timeline?

Significance tagging for claimants and defendants works by evaluating extracted events against the matter theory's pivot fact and key facts, assigning visual tags (🔴/🟡/⚪) to indicate each entry's relevance and advocacy weight.
