SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you turn messy case intake notes into a structured IRAC case-analysis memo draft, while explicitly listing what must be researched instead of guessing legal rules.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • IRAC-structured memo generator: Builds Issue/Rule/Application/Conclusion blocks per legal question, leaving application and conclusion for the student to complete.
  • Research-gap labeling: Marks rule content as “待检索” (to be researched) and flags anything that may be an unverified framework “待核实”.
  • Pedagogy-mode aware guidance: Reads instructor guidance to adjust what the student should fill versus what the assistant may provide (assist/guide/teach posture).
  • Factor checklist for analysis: Separately extracts 有利因素 (favorable facts), 不利因素 (unfavorable facts), and 待解决问题 (fact/legal/strategy gaps), then aggregates the overall research checklist.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to run /legal-clinic:memo after you provide the intake summary and case notes, and it will output an IRAC memo template with research gaps for each question.

Frequently Asked Questions about memo

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure legal case notes into an IRAC memo format?▼

To structure legal case notes into an IRAC memo, you need a tool that maps intake summaries to Issue, Rule, Application, and Conclusion blocks. This skill generates that scaffolding while leaving application and conclusion sections blank for student completion.

What is the best way to identify research gaps in a legal case analysis memo?▼

Identifying research gaps in a legal case analysis memo requires flagging unverified legal rules and frameworks as needing research. This skill automatically labels rule content as 'to be researched' and marks unverified frameworks for later verification.

Can I generate IRAC drafts for legal clinic intake summaries?▼

Yes, you can generate IRAC drafts for legal clinic intake summaries by processing the notes through a structured mapping tool. This skill reads clinic intake data and outputs an IRAC-structured template with explicit research-gap placeholders for each legal question.

How do I separate favorable and unfavorable factors in a legal case analysis?▼

Separating favorable and unfavorable factors in a legal case analysis requires extracting specific facts into categorized checklists. This skill extracts favorable facts, unfavorable facts, and unresolved problems, then aggregates them into an overall research checklist.

Does legal memo pedagogy mode adjust student guidance based on instructor files?▼

Legal memo pedagogy mode adjusts student guidance by reading instructor guidance files to determine the appropriate assistance posture. This skill complies with pedagogy-mode rules to control what the assistant provides versus what the student must fill in.

What are the limitations of automated IRAC memo generation for legal education?▼

Automated IRAC memo generation for legal education cannot complete the application or conclusion sections, as these require independent student legal reasoning. This skill only provides the structural scaffolding and research-gap placeholders rather than finished legal analysis.
