What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps users test whether an England and Wales Court of Appeal draft reads in a way that matches source-backed public Court of Appeal drafting patterns, reducing the risk that a skeleton, grounds, or submission feels too factual, too doctrinal, too long, too authority-heavy, too aggressive, or otherwise misaligned.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Draft-vs-public-corpus comparison: Builds a public-source corpus of Court of Appeal decisions (or uses user-supplied decisions) and compares the draft to observable drafting and reasoning patterns.
- Preference signal extraction: Produces source-backed findings (with excerpts and paragraph references) across dimensions like structure, concision, factual narrative, authority treatment, tone, and remedy framing.
- Confidence-bounded output: Applies confidence bands and clearly distinguishes court-wide and case-type signals from judge-specific inferences, without predicting outcomes.
