What problem does it solve?

The Skill provides an automated, end-to-end Bluebook 22e form-check workflow that ensures all citations in a legal brief conform to the 22nd edition, flags non-conformities, and generates a structured audit-ready report in a DOCX format.

  • Existence checks via CourtListener and cross-format markup for DOCX and PDF outputs.
  • End-to-end workflow with Stage 1 extraction through Stage 5 sign-off, plus an auditable report and senior-counsel flags when needed.
  • Use Case: A 15-page brief with 60 citations can be fully checked, annotated in-line, and produce a shareable docx report for filing.
