SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the repetitive work of preparing weekly status-request check-ins for outside counsel across an active litigation portfolio.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Per-matter weekly email drafting: Generates a consistent, matter-specific status-request markdown for each eligible case based on portfolio logs and matter history.
  • Portfolio-aware filtering: Selects matters to include using default recency and deadline logic, or targets specific matters via flags.
  • Optional Gmail draft creation: When a Gmail MCP is available and authenticated, it creates Gmail drafts for attorney review; otherwise it produces markdown-only outputs.
  • Run summaries: Writes a tracking summary describing what ran, what was skipped, and why.

Quick Start

Invoke the OC status workflow by running /litigation-legal:oc-status to draft weekly outside-counsel status emails for the active portfolio.

FAQPage Schema
How do I draft weekly outside-counsel status emails for an active litigation portfolio?

Draft weekly outside-counsel status emails by reading the portfolio matter log and matter history to generate consistent, matter-specific markdown drafts for each eligible case. The workflow applies house outside-counsel directives and optionally creates Gmail drafts when authenticated.

Can I generate status-request emails for specific litigation matters instead of the whole portfolio?

Yes, you can target specific litigation matters for status-request emails using flags like --slug for individual cases or --all for every matter. Default filtering applies recency and deadline logic to select eligible cases automatically.

Do I need Gmail integration to generate outside-counsel status email drafts?

You do not need Gmail integration to generate outside-counsel status email drafts. The workflow produces markdown drafts per matter by default, and optionally creates Gmail drafts only when the Gmail MCP is available and authenticated.

What is included in the run summary for outside-counsel status email drafting?

The run summary for outside-counsel status email drafting tracks what ran, what matters were skipped, and the reasons why. This provides a log of portfolio filtering decisions and email generation results for attorney review.

How does portfolio-aware filtering work for litigation status check-ins?

Portfolio-aware filtering for litigation status check-ins uses default recency and deadline logic from the portfolio matter log to select eligible cases. It ensures only active matters requiring updates are included in the weekly email drafting run.

Can I use this for ad-hoc outside counsel status requests outside the weekly schedule?

Yes, you can use this workflow for ad-hoc outside counsel status requests. It applies scheduled weekly check-ins and per-matter status email drafting, allowing you to generate updates on demand using specific matter flags.
