legal-hold

To draft an evidence preservation notice, provide a matter slug and the --issue flag to generate a .docx notice document aligned to the case record for attorney review. The output is ready for internal distribution workflows.

Generating a cross-case combined status report tracks legal hold status across multiple active litigation matters. Use the --status flag to aggregate preservation statuses and schedule the next update within the structured case log.

To update a legal hold notice when custodians or scope change, use the --refresh flag to produce a periodic refresh notice. This action updates the evidence-hold fields in the matter's case log and generates a revised .docx draft.

To release an evidence preservation hold when a case closes, use the --release flag. This action produces a release notice documenting the lifted hold and updates the preservation fields in the case log to reflect the concluded litigation matter.

Legal hold notice drafting requires .docx output for operational readiness. The Skill produces .docx documents specifically to prepare notice drafts suitable for attorney review and internal distribution workflows.

You can use legal hold notice templates from your local Claude configuration. The Skill loads matter context and templates directly from the local configuration to route actions and generate consistent, review-ready preservation notices.
