SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill converts a completed demand intake into a high-quality demand letter draft while preventing privileged, waiver, admission, and settlement-communication mistakes that commonly derail litigation communications.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Privilege and risk gatekeeping: Enforces a pre-drafting checklist covering privilege filters, admission risk, accord-and-satisfaction posture, FRE 408 (or local equivalent) settlement-communication handling, waiver scan, and factual accuracy prompts before any drafting proceeds.
  • Matter- and template-aware drafting: Selects a structured template/seed doc when available and tailors tone, marking, signer, and response deadlines based on matter-level posture captured in the intake.
  • Deliverable outputs for attorney review: Generates an in-chat draft for iteration and writes a .docx demand letter plus a post-send internal checklist, then offers auto-creation of a tracked matter when heuristic materiality thresholds are met.
  • Citation placeholder discipline: Preserves [CITE: ...] placeholders and provides a verification-focused workflow so authorities are not invented or silently supplemented.

Quick Start

Use the demand-draft skill to generate a .docx demand letter draft from your completed demand intake, including the post-send checklist, by running: demand-draft [slug] --version=1.

Frequently Asked Questions about demand-draft

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I draft a demand letter without creating an admission risk?

To draft a demand letter without creating an admission risk, enforce a pre-drafting checklist that scans for admission exposure, waiver issues, and factual accuracy before generating the document. This prevents privileged statements from derailing litigation communications.

How does FRE 408 affect settlement communication in a demand letter?

FRE 408 affects settlement communication by restricting the admissibility of compromise offers. A demand letter workflow must apply settlement-communication handling gates to ensure compliance with FRE 408 or its local equivalent during drafting.

What's the best way to automate demand letter generation from intake data?

The best way to automate demand letter generation from intake data is to use a matter-aware drafting tool that selects a structured template, tailors tone based on posture, and outputs a reviewable draft plus a versioned .docx file.

Do I need a completed intake to generate a cease-and-desist demand letter?

Yes, you need a completed intake providing required context and a practice profile to generate a cease-and-desist demand letter. The drafting process gates on this intake data to enforce privilege filters and matter-level posture before proceeding.

Can I preserve citation placeholders when drafting an employment separation demand?

Yes, you can preserve citation placeholders when drafting an employment separation demand. The workflow maintains [CITE: ...] placeholders and provides a verification-focused process so legal authorities are not invented or silently supplemented.

Why does my demand letter workflow require document loading from configured plugin paths?

A demand letter workflow requires document loading from configured plugin paths to access structured templates and seed documents. This ensures the generated output aligns with matter-level posture and maintains privilege gate compliance.
