SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Client intake is often slow and inconsistent, causing students to spend too much time transcribing and organizing details instead of analyzing the case; this skill structures the interview, detects cross-area issues and conflicts, and produces a formatted intake summary the student can review with supervision.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Practice-area routing & templated questioning: Determines the likely practice area and runs the corresponding intake template, using supervisor-provided guides when available.
  • Cross-practice issue spotting: Flags issues outside the initial practice area while the intake is being gathered.
  • Conflict checks & triage classification: Surfaces potential conflicts and classifies urgency (Urgent, Time-sensitive, Standard, May be out of scope) without making acceptance decisions.
  • Deadline logging handoff: When timelines are mentioned, emits copy-paste-ready deadline entries for the deadlines skill to deduplicate and track.

Quick Start

Use the client-intake skill to generate an Intake Summary for a new client by starting the conversation with the client’s story and letting the workflow route to the right practice-area template.

FAQPage Schema
What is the best way to automate conflict checks and triage classification during client intake?

Legal intake structuring works by routing the client's unstructured story to a matching practice-area template, then generating a formatted case summary with triage classification and conflict flags.

Can I use practice-area routing templates for legal clinic intake when the practice area is unknown?

Deadline extraction during legal intake works by detecting timelines mentioned in the client story and emitting copy-paste-ready deadline blocks for a downstream deadlines skill to deduplicate and track.

Does this client intake workflow require loading specific clinic configuration files?

When the practice area is unknown, intake routing analyzes the client's initial story to determine the likely practice area and loads supervisor-provided guide references to apply the correct intake template.

How do I flag cross-practice legal issues spotted during an intake interview?

The client intake workflow requires loading the clinic CLAUDE.md configuration to ensure supervision-driven templates and guardrails are properly followed during case summary generation.

What are the limitations of automated triage classification in legal intake?

Cross-practice issue spotting flags legal issues outside the initial practice area while the intake interview is being gathered, ensuring the final case summary reflects all detected legal areas for supervisor review.

What are the limitations of automated triage classification in legal intake?

Automated triage classification categorizes intake urgency levels like Urgent or Standard, but it does not make case acceptance decisions; those remain reserved for supervisor review and approval.
