SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you prepare a deposition outline by organizing case theory and eDiscovery records into a witness-ready map, including the right impeachment material and pinpointed documentary support.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Document-driven outlines: pulls and organizes witness-authored, received/sent, and mentioned documents from the eDiscovery platform, flagging the key “hot” items.
  • Theory-aligned structure: builds Background, Good Facts, Bad Facts, Impeachment, and a tightly designed Pivot Fact sequence that follows witness posture.
  • Record fidelity and citation discipline: enforces verbatim-quote rules and “verify” markers for quotations, pinpoints, and uncertain legal propositions.
  • Privilege-aware delivery checks: performs a destination/privilege gate before producing output when sharing could waive protection.

Quick Start

Use deposition-prep to build a deposition outline for a named witness based on your case theory in the configured CLAUDE.md and the witness-related documents in your connected eDiscovery platform.

How do privilege checks work when sharing a deposition outline?▼

Privilege checks enforce a destination and privilege gate before producing output, ensuring that sharing deposition preparation materials does not waive legal protection or expose sensitive case strategy.

Why do deposition outlines require verbatim quotes and verify markers?▼

Verbatim quote rules and verify markers enforce record fidelity by flagging uncertain legal propositions, pinpoints, and quotations extracted from eDiscovery documents, ensuring the outline remains accurate for litigation strategy.
