memo

What problem does it solve? Law clinic students need to write case analysis memos, but having an AI write the analysis defeats the educational purpose. This Skill produces the IRAC scaffold — issues framed as questions, rule blocks marked as research gaps, application blocks as student prompts, and conclusions left blank — so the student does the actual legal reasoning. ## Core Features & Use Cases - IRAC Scaffolding: Frames each legal issue as a question and builds Issue/Rule/Application/Conclusion blocks, with rules flagged as RESEARCH NEEDED and conclusions left blank. - Pedagogy Modes: Adapts behavior based on the supervisor's guide posture (guide, assist, or teach), controlling how much structure the Skill provides versus what the student must produce. - Research Gap Summary: Consolidates every RESEARCH NEEDED block into one list, with citation source attribution tags and verification requirements. - Use Case: A clinic student with an intake summary for an eviction defense case runs the memo skill to get a structured IRAC scaffold identifying habitability doctrine research gaps, then fills in the analysis themselves before meeting their professor. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to scaffold an IRAC case analysis memo from the intake summary and case notes for your clinic matter.
