What problem does it solve? When a legal matter ends, teams often lose the outcome data that would calibrate future risk assessments. This Skill structures matter closure so the resolution type, final cost, reserve accuracy, and lessons learned are captured permanently instead of being lost when a matter leaves the active portfolio. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured Outcome Capture: Records resolution type (settled, dismissed, judgment for/against, withdrawn, consolidated), resolution date, and final exposure versus the initial intake estimate. - Portfolio Hygiene: Updates _log.yaml with closed status and outcome fields while preserving the full record on disk, so closed matters remain available as training data for future risk judgment. - Lessons Documentation: Appends an honest retrospective entry to the matter's history file and a closing block to the intake record. - Use Case: After settling a contract dispute, run the close workflow to log the settlement amount, compare it against the original exposure range, and record what the team misjudged about opposing counsel. ## Quick Start Close the matter with slug 'acme-contract-dispute' and record it as settled for $250,000 with lessons learned.
