What problem does it solve? Inbound demand letters arrive unpredictably and vary widely in merit, yet treating them all alike wastes legal resources or misses real threats. This Skill provides a structured triage workflow that extracts key fields, cross-checks the existing matter portfolio, assesses merit, and presents response options with a recommendation. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured Field Extraction: Pulls sender, recipient, delivery method, demand type, specific asks, alleged facts, legal basis, threats, and settlement-communication framing from the incoming letter. - Portfolio Cross-Check: Searches the matters log for direct counterparty matches, type matches, and subject overlap to decide whether to open a new matter, link to an existing one, or treat the demand as standalone. - Merit Assessment and Response Options: Produces a blunt triage rating (substantial / debatable / weak / frivolous) plus four response options (substantive response, holding letter, settlement response, ignore + preserve) with tradeoffs and a recommendation. - Use Case: Your company receives a cease-and-desist letter from a former vendor's counsel. Run this Skill to extract the demands, discover a prior closed matter with the same counterparty, get a merit read, and receive a recommended response path with deadlines calendared. ## Quick Start Triage the demand letter at ./incoming/vendor-cd-letter.pdf and write the triage report to the inbound folder.
