SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps you keep a litigation matter’s history and status log up to date without relying on freeform notes that drift over time.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured event capture: Prompts for event type, date, and a one-paragraph summary while guiding which log fields are likely impacted.
  • Matter history + portfolio log updates: Appends a dated entry to the matter’s history.md and refreshes the corresponding row in _log.yaml.
  • Safety and correctness gates: Enforces a conflicts check against _log.yaml so updates are refused for unmanaged matters, and includes explicit gates for settlement acceptance and materiality reclassification triggers.

Quick Start

Use the matter-update skill to append a dated event to your matter’s history by providing the matter slug and a brief description of what changed.
