SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It prevents critical case knowledge from leaving with departing clinic students by generating consistent, reviewable end-of-semester handoff memos for every active case.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Per-case transition memos: Creates a structured handoff document per case that captures posture, pending deadlines, what’s been done, what remains open, key documents, and communications history.
  • Cohort summary for continuity: Produces a semester-level summary that lists transitions, urgency, and unassigned handoffs so the incoming cohort can start effectively.
  • Supervision-model routing: Routes memos through the clinic’s configured supervision workflow (formal queue, configurable flags, or lighter-touch) to ensure attorney oversight for consequential actions.

Quick Start

Run semester-handoff for the current term to generate per-case handoff memos and a cohort summary from your clinic profile, deadlines.yaml, and each case’s client communications log.

Frequently Asked Questions about semester-handoff

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a legal clinic case handoff memo for incoming students?▼

A legal clinic case handoff memo captures case posture, pending deadlines, completed work, open items, and communications history. It ensures critical case knowledge is preserved for incoming students when departing students leave at the end of a semester.

How do I transfer active case deadlines and client communications across a semester boundary?▼

You can transfer case deadlines and client communications by loading deadlines.yaml and per-case client-comms logs into the handoff generator. It documents pending deadlines and communications history so incoming students can immediately take over active cases without losing continuity.

What is included in a legal clinic cohort summary for case transitions?▼

A legal clinic cohort summary lists all case transitions, their urgency levels, and any unassigned handoffs. It provides a semester-level overview to help the incoming student cohort prioritize and start their assignments effectively.

Does the handoff memo generation process support attorney supervision and review?▼

Yes, the handoff memo process supports attorney supervision through supervision-model routing. It routes memos through configured review workflows, such as formal queues or lighter-touch flags, to ensure attorney oversight for consequential actions.

What files do I need to configure before generating end-of-semester case handoffs?▼

You need to configure the clinic CLAUDE profile, deadlines.yaml, and per-case client-comms logs. These inputs are loaded to write the generated handoff memos and cohort summary into your configured handoffs directory.

What is the best way to document open case items and pending deadlines for student transitions?▼

The best way to document open items and pending deadlines is generating structured per-case handoff memos. These memos capture what remains open, pending deadlines, and key documents, routing them through attorney supervision before the incoming cohort arrives.
