SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Tax practitioners lose billable hours chasing clients for outstanding documents, and writing those reminder emails by hand risks tone slips, invented dates, or accidental advice. This Skill drafts a single friendly (level-1) document-request email from a short client brief plus a saved practice profile, applying a strict liability guard so the draft never computes figures, invents dates, gives advice, or leaks unmasked PII.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Single level-1 email drafting: Produces one friendly document-request email per run, with a subject under 60 characters naming the firm and a body under 150 words, listing each outstanding document exactly as the brief states it.
  • Full liability guard: Applies an eight-rule self-audit (no computation, no memory figures, no advice, PII masking to last-4, escalation flags, no IRS impersonation, no scope creep, no outcome promises) and reports what it checked in a guard note.
  • Profile-driven sign-off: Reads firm name, preparer credential, and contact block from a practice profile so every draft renders a consistent professional sign-off.
  • Use Case: A CPA pastes a brief for client J.M. (1040 + Schedule C, missing 1099-NEC, mileage log, and prior-year return, due March 20, 2027) and receives a ready-to-review friendly reminder email with a guard note and review notice.

Quick Start

Fill in the profile template with your firm details, then ask the skill to draft a level-1 document-request email from a completed client brief listing the outstanding documents and due date.

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I draft a client document request email for my tax practice?

Fill in the practice profile once with your firm name, preparer credential, and contact block, then submit one client brief per run listing the outstanding documents and due date. The skill returns a friendly level-1 email draft, a guard note, and a review notice.

What is the difference between doc-chaser-lite and the full client-doc-chaser skill?

The lite skill drafts exactly one friendly level-1 email for one client per run, with no batch mode, no escalation levels 2 or 3, and no consequence lines. The paid kit adds batch runs, all three escalation levels, and four more skills such as engagement letters and notice explainers.

Can I use this skill without installing anything?

Yes, paste the entire PROMPT-ONLY.md file as the first message in a fresh Claude conversation, then paste your filled profile and one client brief. The paste-in version carries the same guard as the installed SKILL.md.

Does the skill compute tax figures or give tax advice?

No, the guard strictly forbids computing or estimating any tax amount, pulling rates or deadlines from memory, and generating professional advice. It drafts only from figures and dates the practitioner supplies and declines requests that cross those lines.

How does the skill handle client SSNs and other sensitive identifiers?

Detected SSNs, EINs, account numbers, and notice or case IDs are masked to the last four digits in every output, including drafts, guard notes, and filenames. The skill never echoes raw digits even when declining to use them, and recommends redacting identifiers at the source.
