SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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.

Quick Start

Draft a complete municipal resolution using the provided docket and staff report.

Frequently Asked Questions about resolution-drafter

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I draft a municipal resolution for a council appointment or policy directive?▼

Draft a municipal resolution by gathering source material like agendas, staff reports, charter provisions, and posting deadlines, then structuring findings and action language to survive legal and public scrutiny. The workflow produces a ready-to-use draft, risk list, and next-step checklist.

What information do I need to write a public notice resolution?▼

Writing a public notice resolution requires the agenda or docket, draft staff report, applicable charter or code provisions, proposed action language, and posting or publication deadlines. If source material is incomplete, the draft explicitly states missing information and assumptions used.

Can I use this to generate resolutions for formal recognitions and findings?▼

Yes, generating resolutions for formal recognitions and findings is supported alongside appointments, approvals, and policy statements. The output maintains a calm municipal tone, distinguishes facts from assumptions, and flags tasks affecting legal authority or public notice requirements.

How does this approach handle missing legal review or fiscal impact data?▼

It handles missing legal review or fiscal impact data by explicitly flagging those gaps in the final output rather than hiding uncertainty. The generated draft always includes a risk and missing-info list alongside a next-step checklist to ensure compliance.

What's the best way to ensure a draft resolution aligns with municipal authority and process requirements?▼

The best way to ensure authority and process alignment is to provide the applicable charter or code provisions and proposed action language upfront. The workflow cross-references these materials and explicitly flags any authority or process mismatches in the output.

Are there limitations when drafting resolutions for procurement or personnel actions?▼

When drafting resolutions for procurement, meetings, elections, or personnel actions, the workflow explicitly states the legal authority implications but flags missing legal review. It does not replace formal legal counsel and outputs a checklist for completing required fiscal and legal reviews.
