matter-briefing

To generate a legal briefing, the Skill compiles matter posture, recent changes from history, deadlines, and open questions into a structured summary. It requires a matter slug that exists in the matter log to pass the conflicts gate before producing the briefing output.

A conflicts check is a safety gate that verifies a matter slug exists in the log file before generating a briefing. You need it when requesting a where-are-we update or counsel preparation snapshot to ensure matter intake has been properly completed.

You can track litigation deadlines and open questions by requesting a briefing on a specific matter slug. The Skill extracts next deadlines and unresolved questions from the matter workspace and surfaces them in the structured summary for counsel preparation.

When a matter's last_updated field exceeds 30 days, the Skill flags it as stale and suggests running a follow-up update after discussion. This staleness callout ensures the briefing reflects current facts rather than outdated information.

Yes, the Skill loads stored risk calibration settings and produces a risk re-assessment prompt in the briefing output. This prompts you to verify that stored risk and materiality fields still match the current facts before proceeding with outside counsel.

The briefing refuses to generate if the matter slug does not exist in the matter log, which acts as a conflicts gate. You must run the matter intake skill first to register the slug before a briefing can be produced.
