SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The memo skill turns messy intake and screening notes into a structured IRAC case analysis memo, clearly flagging what must be researched and what the staff attorney still needs to decide, including funder-restriction implications when relevant.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • IRAC scaffolding per issue: Converts identified issues into standardized Rule, Application, and blank Conclusion sections, with research gaps explicitly marked.
  • Funder-restriction analysis section: Adds a dedicated restriction assessment when live FUNDING RESTRICTION flags exist, including options and the need for managing-attorney decision.
  • Review-ready output: Produces a memo formatted for managing-attorney supervision, with strengths, weaknesses, open questions, and a consolidated research-gap checklist.
  • Use case: When a staff attorney needs to draft or rebuild an internal case-analysis memo (e.g., habitability or eviction defenses), this skill generates the structured outline while prompting where legal research and factual application are still required.
