SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It turns a completed legal demand intake into a sendable, DOCX-formatted demand letter while enforcing privilege, admission-risk, and settlement-communication guardrails so the draft doesn’t accidentally waive rights or over-admit facts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Privilege and admission gatekeeping: Blocks drafting until privilege filters, admission-risk controls, waiver/accorder-and-satisfaction checks, and settlement-communication posture are explicitly engaged.
  • Checklist-driven, reviewable drafting: Produces an in-chat draft for approval, then writes a final DOCX and a post-send internal checklist.
  • Matter creation offering: Applies a materiality heuristic and can hand off to matter-intake when the demand is likely significant.

Quick Start

Use demand-draft to generate a DOCX demand letter from your completed intake by running demand-draft with your intake slug and letting it guide you through the pre-draft gate.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I draft a sendable demand letter from a completed case intake?

To draft a demand letter from case intake, load the intake slug and demand-letter practice configuration to generate a DOCX file. The process runs a privilege and admission gate before drafting to prevent accidental rights waiver.

What is the FRE 408 settlement communication gate in legal demand drafting?

The FRE 408 settlement communication gate is a pre-draft checkpoint that blocks generation until settlement posture and waiver controls are engaged. It prevents the demand letter from inadvertently waiving privilege or over-admitting facts.

How do I prevent accidental admission risks when generating a demand letter DOCX?

To prevent admission risks during demand letter generation, the drafting process enforces an explicit pre-draft gate checking privilege filters, waiver controls, and accord-and-satisfaction rules before producing the DOCX output.

Can I use demand drafting for significant matters that require tracking?

Yes, demand drafting applies a materiality heuristic to assess matter significance. If the demand indicates a tracked matter is warranted, it routes the user to matter-intake for proper matter creation.

Does the demand letter generator include a checklist for post-send review?

Yes, the demand letter generator produces an internal post-send checklist alongside the final DOCX output. It also enforces citation and factual verification placeholders during the initial in-chat draft approval step.

What are the limitations of automated legal demand letter generation?

Automated demand letter generation requires a completed litigation intake and cannot proceed until privilege, admission-risk, and FRE 408 settlement guards are explicitly engaged, ensuring no unverified facts slip into the draft.
