What problem does it solve?
Manually closing litigation matters often leads to missing critical documentation, non-compliant archival, and lost institutional knowledge. This Skill eliminates those risks by providing a structured, step-by-step workflow to formalize matter closure, capture all required details, and ensure adherence to Russian regulatory retention rules.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Validated Closure Workflow: Built-in pre-close checks to prevent premature closure of matters with pending appeals, unpaid settlements, or active discovery phases.
- Standardized Record Updates: Automates formatting and appending of closing blocks to matter.md, history.md, and _log.yaml with consistent, searchable data.
- Compliant Archival & Handoffs: Provides retention rule guidance aligned with Russian regulations (402-FZ, tax code, Rosarkhiv requirements) and triggers follow-up workflows for enforcement, criminal escalation, or collections as needed.
- Use Case: A litigation team that just received a final, non-appealable judgment in a commercial dispute can use this Skill to log the judgment amount, update all matter records, move the folder to the compliant archive, and trigger a handoff to the enforcement team if the losing party does not pay voluntarily.
Quick Start
Use the matter-close skill to formally close the litigation matter with slug "commercial-dispute-2024-001" after confirming all settlement funds have been received and no appeals are pending.
