SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

The Skill orchestrates the pre-engagement intake process by transforming scattered client material into a coherent brief, surfacing conflicts, and labeling data with confidence levels to accelerate partner decision-making.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Mode 1: Pre-engagement client data structuring — produce a structured brief and an open questions list.
  • Mode 2: Quick intake — capture baseline scope, stakeholder register, and initial assumptions.
  • Mode 3: Full intake — add a comprehensive stakeholder matrix, risk considerations, and kickoff materials.
  • Mode 4: Mid-matter recovery — reconstruct baseline and identify scope deltas for handoff.
  • Cross-skill handoffs and integration with risk, scope-change-controller, and budgeting workflows.

The skill is designed for use in repeated matter types with calibrated assumptions and a structured outputs format.

Quick Start

Load client inputs, determine matter type, and generate a draft pre-engagement brief.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure scattered client data into a pre-engagement brief for legal matter intake?

Legal matter intake automates pre-engagement structuring by organizing diverse client inputs into a coherent brief with source citations and confidence tagging. It transforms scattered material into a structured format to accelerate partner decision-making.

What is the best way to manage matter scope and stakeholders during a mid-matter recovery?

Mid-matter recovery reconstructs baseline matter scope and identifies scope deltas for handoff. It captures stakeholder registers and assumptions logs to realign ongoing legal matters and manage unexpected project shifts.

Can I use matter intake scoping for multi-jurisdiction matter types?

Yes, matter intake scoping supports multi-jurisdiction matter types across multiple engagement modes. It enables timely open questions, conflicts checking, and assumptions management regardless of jurisdictional scope.

How do I generate a stakeholder register and assumptions log for a new legal matter?

Quick intake generates baseline matter scope, stakeholder register, and initial assumptions log. Loading client inputs and determining the matter type produces these structured outputs automatically for pre-engagement phases.

Does matter intake integrate with scope-change-controller and budgeting workflows?

Yes, matter intake provides cross-skill handoffs and integrates with risk, scope-change-controller, and budgeting workflows. It delivers a change-control handoff output ready for SCC integration to manage subsequent project variations.

When do I need full legal matter intake with a comprehensive stakeholder matrix?

Full intake is needed when adding comprehensive stakeholder matrices, risk considerations, and kickoff materials for complex legal matters. It expands baseline scoping to support deeper LPM involvement definitions and structured risk-management outputs.
