SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It turns messy case notes into the right kind of status update for the intended reader, ensuring clients get clear plain-language progress, professors get procedural posture and student needs, and courts receive formal, rule-aligned status reporting.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Audience-aware drafting: Produces three distinct formats (client, internal/professor, court-ready) from the same underlying facts while changing framing, depth, and tone.
  • Supervision-aligned output: Promotes the correct supervision routing and review gatekeeping for consequential client communications and formal court documents.
  • Operational next-step decision support: Ends with a next-steps decision tree so a supervising lawyer can choose how to proceed after the summary is drafted.

Quick Start

Use the /legal-clinic:status command with the desired audience so the skill generates a complete status draft tailored to that reader.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate audience-specific case status updates from legal clinic notes?

Generate audience-specific case status updates by processing raw legal clinic notes and selecting a target audience, such as client, professor, or court. The skill applies appropriate framing, depth, and tone for each format, producing structured summaries with next-step decision trees.

What is the best way to format a court-ready status report from ongoing case check-ins?

The best way to format a court-ready status report from ongoing case check-ins is to use audience-aware drafting that applies formal, rule-aligned framing. The skill structures the underlying facts into a formal template while maintaining supervision-aligned routing for court documents.

Can I use plain language communication for client case status summaries while keeping internal reports detailed?

Yes, you can produce plain language client summaries and detailed internal reports from the same facts. The skill generates distinct formats by changing framing and depth, ensuring clients receive clear progress updates while professors see procedural posture and student needs.

How does professional supervision routing work for consequential client communications?

Professional supervision routing enforces review gatekeeping for consequential client communications and formal court documents. The skill aligns output with supervision-style rules loaded from configuration files, ensuring supervising lawyers review appropriate drafts before they are finalized.

Do I need to select an output audience before drafting a legal case status summary?

Yes, you need to select an output audience before drafting because the skill uses an argument hint to determine the target reader. Choosing client, internal professor, or court-ready formats dictates the corresponding structured template, level of detail, and tone applied.

What limitations apply when turning messy case notes into different status report formats?

A key limitation is that the output depends entirely on the quality of the input case notes. Additionally, the skill enforces supervision-style rules from configuration files, meaning consequential communications require routing through a supervising lawyer before finalization.
