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.
