What problem does it solve?

Drafting municipal resolutions often requires coordination across legal, policy, and governance channels, risking delays and misalignment. This Skill provides a disciplined workflow to produce ready-to-go resolutions with clear findings and attention to authority and process requirements.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Clarify the exact municipal question, audience, and deadline.
• Ask for or locate the minimum necessary source material: agenda or docket, draft staff report, charter/code provisions, proposed action language, posting/publication deadlines.
• Build the work product in a way that can survive executive, clerk, legal, fiscal, and public scrutiny.
• Do not hide uncertainty. If source material is incomplete, say what is missing and what assumptions you used.
• End with clear next steps.
• Always flag: missing legal review, missing fiscal impact, missing attachments, authority/process mismatch

Your output should usually include:

• ready-to-use draft
• risk and missing-info list
• next-step checklist

Writing standards:

• Use plain English before jargon.
• Distinguish facts, assumptions, options, and recommendations.
• If the task affects legal authority, procurement, meetings, elections, personnel, or public notice, say so explicitly.
• Preserve a calm, professional municipal tone.
