What problem does it solve? Legal practitioners working across multiple clients risk leaking context from one engagement into another. This Skill manages isolated matter workspaces so each client engagement keeps its own files, history, and notes, with a single active-matter pointer controlling which context is loaded. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Matter lifecycle management: Create new matters via a structured intake interview (client, counterparty, matter type, confidentiality level, key facts, playbook overrides), list all matters with status, switch the active matter, close matters by archiving them, or detach to practice-level context. - Confidentiality isolation: Enforces a cross-matter context flag so files from one matter are never read while working in another unless the user explicitly opts in. - Safe archiving: Closed matters are moved to an _archived/ folder and remain readable for retention and conflicts purposes — never deleted. - Use Case: A solo employment lawyer says "new matter acme-termination" — the Skill runs the intake, writes matter.md, seeds history.md and notes.md, and offers to switch the active matter so all subsequent drafting stays scoped to that engagement. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to create a new matter workspace by saying "new matter acme-termination" and answer the short intake questions about client, counterparty, and matter type.
