SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Law students need structured feedback on practice essays without having the answer rewritten for them. This Skill grades IRAC essays on issue-spotting, rule accuracy, application, and organization, and tracks recurring weaknesses across sessions. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured IRAC grading: Evaluates issues spotted and missed, rule statement accuracy, rule-to-fact application, organization, and gives a pass/borderline/not-yet band with top three fixes. - Two practice modes: Grades against a student-provided hypo or generates a hypo in the student's subject area for timed practice. - Cross-session pattern tracking: Appends results to a per-student tracker file and surfaces recurring gaps after three or more sessions. - Use Case: A 1L pastes a torts practice hypo and their essay answer, then receives component-by-component feedback showing they restated rules without applying them to facts, plus one labeled example phrasing illustrating the missing structural move. ## Quick Start Paste your practice essay and say "grade my IRAC" to get structured feedback on issue-spotting, rules, analysis, and organization.

Frequently Asked Questions about irac-practice

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I get feedback on my IRAC practice essay?

Paste your hypo and written answer, then ask to grade your IRAC. The skill maps your answer against expected issues, rules, application, and organization, then returns structured feedback with a grade band and top three fixes.

Can this skill generate a practice hypo for me?

Yes. If you ask for practice without providing a hypo, the skill generates one in your subject area, you write the answer, and it grades your response. It flags any sub-issues it is less confident about.

Will it rewrite my essay or show me a model answer?

No. The skill never rewrites your answer or provides a full model IRAC. It may show at most one or two clearly labeled example phrasings illustrating a structural move, using generic placeholders rather than your actual issue.

Does IRAC grading work for any jurisdiction or subject area?

For jurisdictions or areas the skill does not know well, it grades structure only and says so explicitly. Rule statements it cannot verify are flagged with VERIFY so you can cross-check against your outline.

How does the skill track my progress across practice sessions?

Each graded session is appended to a per-student tracker file recording missed issues, rule accuracy, analysis gaps, and organization. After three or more sessions, the skill surfaces recurring patterns like consistently weak rule application.

What are the limitations of AI essay grading for law school?

Grading gives pass/borderline/not-yet bands rather than precise scores, and it cannot substitute for a professor's rubric. Any cited cases or statutes must be verified on Westlaw, Fastcase, or CourtListener before use.
