You can automate weekly outside-counsel status emails by running a command that reads your litigation matters log and generates per-matter status-request drafts. It uses matter histories and upcoming deadlines to produce markdown drafts or optional Gmail drafts.

Outside-counsel status request drafting generates recurring check-in emails across active litigation matters. It reads each matter's history and markdown files to request status updates, confirm deadlines, surface pending decisions, and check budget posture.

You do not need the Gmail MCP to generate outside-counsel status email drafts. The Skill produces markdown-only drafts by default and logs the gap if the Gmail MCP is not authenticated, allowing portfolio management to continue without it.

Filtering active litigation matters for weekly status updates requires applying stale date and upcoming deadline rules to the matters log. The Skill uses these filtering rules to generate drafts only for eligible matters and provides a run summary with skip reasons.

You can use markdown files for per-matter litigation email drafting by loading a matters log alongside individual matter.md and history.md files. The Skill extracts matter-informed content from these files to draft subject and body text for outside-counsel check-ins.
