What problem does it solve?

It prevents clinic deadlines from being missed by maintaining a shared, auditable operational record with clear warnings, overdue visibility, and explicit resolution states.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Case deadline ledger: Add, update, complete, and close deadlines stored in the clinic’s YAML ledger.
  • Cross-case rollup reports: Generate a consolidated view of overdue items and upcoming deadlines by horizon, owner, and practice area.
  • Safety-first workflow: Detect likely duplicates, require rationale for closing without completion, and confirm before committing writes.

Quick Start

Run deadlines --add to log a new case deadline with its due date, owner student, and source, so it appears in future warning reports.

FAQPage Schema
How do I track legal case deadlines and prevent missed compliance dates in a clinic workflow?

To track legal case deadlines and prevent missed compliance dates, log new deadlines from intake into a YAML ledger and generate rollup reports for upcoming warning windows. This maintains an auditable record with clear warnings and explicit resolution states.

What is the best way to maintain an auditable ledger for legal operations deadline tracking?

An auditable ledger for legal operations deadline tracking is maintained by persisting entries to a YAML file, applying write confirmations, detecting duplicates, and requiring rationale when closing matters without completion. This prevents missed deadlines across multiple cases.

How do I generate cross-case rollup reports for upcoming deadline warning windows?

Generate cross-case rollup reports for upcoming deadline warning windows by running the report mode against the YAML ledger. This produces a consolidated view of overdue items and upcoming deadlines filtered by horizon, owner, and practice area.

Can I use a YAML ledger to manage clinical workflow deadlines and completion status?

Yes, you can use a YAML ledger to manage clinical workflow deadlines by supporting add, update, complete, and close modes. The system reads clinic configuration and enforces validation safeguards to track completion status across multiple matters.

Does the deadline tracking workflow require configuration before adding new case deadlines?

Yes, deadline tracking requires reading clinic configuration from CLAUDE.md before adding new case deadlines. This configuration ensures the YAML ledger properly applies validation safeguards, duplicate detection, and warning windows for operational workflows.

What happens when I try to close a legal case deadline without marking it as completed?

When closing a legal case deadline without marking it as completed, the workflow requires you to provide a rationale. This safety-first mechanism ensures an auditable ledger of changes while preventing accidental or untracked deadline closures.
