Status email generation requires loading your portfolio log, per-matter matter.md and history.md files, and applying outside-counsel directives and signer defaults from CLAUDE.md.

Matter filtering applies status and recency rules to your active litigation portfolio, ensuring only matters meeting outside-counsel check-in criteria receive weekly status-request email drafts.

Can I generate an ad-hoc status email for a specific litigation matter?

Yes, ad-hoc status emails can be generated for a specific matter slug by loading the individual matter.md and history.md context and applying the outside-counsel directive.
