SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Legal clinic students juggle multiple cases with part-time schedules and semester turnover, so deadlines kept in individual heads get dropped at handoff or missed during finals. This Skill maintains a central operational ledger of case deadlines so nothing falls through the cracks and supervisors can see workload risk at a glance. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Deadline Ledger Management: Add, update, complete, or close deadlines stored in a deadlines.yaml file, with duplicate detection and dated change notes. - Cross-Case Rollup Reports: Generate reports grouping deadlines by overdue status, 3/7/14-day windows, owner student, and practice area, with unassigned-deadline flags. - Jurisdiction-Keyed Plausibility Checks: Sanity-check entered due dates against typical ranges loaded from jurisdiction-specific reference band files, with a hard stop when the band file is missing. - Use Case: A student finishing client intake learns an eviction response is due; they run the add mode to log the deadline with case, type, source, and owner, then the supervisor runs the default report each week to see every overdue and upcoming item across the clinic. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run the deadlines report to show all overdue and upcoming case deadlines for this week.

FAQPage Schema
How do I track case deadlines across a legal clinic?

Use the add mode to log each deadline with case ID, type, due date, source, and owner into a central deadlines.yaml ledger. The default report mode then produces a cross-case rollup grouped by overdue status, time window, owner, and practice area.

How do I generate a deadline report for my clinic cases?

Invoke the skill with no flag or the report flag to read deadlines.yaml and produce a rollup showing overdue items, deadlines due in 3, 7, and 14 days, plus breakdowns by owner student and practice area. Use the horizon parameter to expand beyond 14 days.

Does the deadline tracker calculate due dates from court rules?

No, the skill deliberately does not compute deadlines from triggering events because computation-of-time rules vary by jurisdiction and court. The student calculates the date against the governing rule, and the skill only sanity-checks it against typical ranges.

What happens if the plausibility band file for my state is missing?

The skill stops at cold-start and tells the supervisor it cannot sanity-check dates for that jurisdiction, with instructions to build a band file from the IL template. Entries added afterward carry a no-plausibility-band warning until the file exists.

Can the deadline tracker send automatic reminders?

No, the skill has no scheduled or push notification behavior. Warnings surface only when the report is invoked directly or through the status skill, and overdue items stay flagged until explicitly resolved.
