What problem does it solve?
This Skill eliminates the repetitive work of preparing weekly status requests to outside counsel across an active litigation portfolio while preserving matter-specific context, deadlines, decisions, and budget questions.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Portfolio Filtering: Identifies active matters requiring outreach based on update recency, upcoming deadlines, counsel assignment, and user-provided flags.
- Matter-Specific Drafting: Reads matter context and history to produce tailored status-request emails with relevant updates, deadlines, open decisions, budget checks, and specific asks.
- Review-Safe Outputs: Writes dated Markdown drafts and run summaries, optionally creates Gmail drafts, and includes attorney-review guidance before sending.
- Use Case: A legal operations team can run the Skill weekly to identify stale matters, generate individualized outside counsel emails, and collect all drafts in one dated review folder.
