SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents lost communication history by helping students and legal clinic staff record client interactions so nothing important gets missed or disputed later.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Append-only communication entries: Records direction (in/out), medium (call/email/text/letter/meeting/voicemail), student and client parties, summaries, action items, and deadlines in a case-scoped log file.
  • Fast retrieval and teaching handoff: Supports reading the latest entries, generating a one-paragraph summary for semester handoff, and producing guidance-oriented pattern detection.
  • Cross-skill workflow integration: Creates proposals to add deadlines and route summaries to related clinic workflows when appropriate, while keeping the log focused on facts (not legal strategy).

Example: After a client call, record the date/time, summarize what was discussed, capture any follow-up the clinic must make (with a due date), and later run patterns to identify unanswered messages or missed follow-ups.

Quick Start

Run client-comms-log with your case number and choose add to write a new communication entry into the case log.
