SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Legal operations leaders waste hours manually reviewing outside-counsel invoices for billing guideline violations, risking missed overcharges, compliance gaps, and damaged outside-counsel relationships from over-disputing.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Deterministic rule checks: Automatically flags block-billing, expense double-entries, staffing-ratio breaches, premium-time cap violations, and rate variances without LLM inference.
  • LLM-powered per-line evaluation: Identifies vague time entries, scope-creep work, misbilled flat-fee tasks, and over-attended internal conferences with cited guideline references and confidence ratings.
  • Structured audit reporting: Generates markdown reports with aggregated findings by category, per-firm dispute trend tracking, and immutable audit log entries for compliance tracking.
  • Use Case: A legal-ops lead receives a LEDES 1998B invoice from an outside firm and the firm's billing guidelines; the skill audits every line item, flags non-compliant charges, and produces a review-ready report with recommended adjustments for human approval.

Use the outside-counsel-bill-auditor skill to audit the LEDES invoice at /invoices/outside-counsel-2024-05.pdf against the firm billing guidelines at /guidelines/firm-billing-rules.md and generate a structured compliance report for review.
