$legal-clinic:draft

Apache-2.0GeneralLitigation

First draft of a common clinic document — practice-area templates (asylum applications, eviction answers, protective order petitions, demand letters), jurisdiction-aware formatting, explicitly a starting point requiring student analysis and attorney review. Use when a student needs a first draft of a motion, letter, petition, declaration, or other clinic document.

$legal-clinic:status

Apache-2.0GeneralLitigation

Case status summary by audience — client-facing (plain language), internal (for the professor), or court-ready (formal caption format per local rules). Same facts, different framing and depth. Use when a student needs to update the client, brief the professor, or prepare a court status report.

$litigation-legal:brief-section-drafter

Apache-2.0GeneralLitigation

Draft a brief section in house style, consistent with the case theory — every fact cited, every case checked, every argument tied to the theory. Use when the user says "draft the [section]", "write the statement of facts", "argument section on [issue]", or needs a first draft of a brief section.

$litigation-legal:chronology

Apache-2.0GeneralLitigation

Build or update a chronology from declared document sources and uploads — dated events extracted, de-duped, and tagged by significance per the matter theory. Use when the user asks to build a chronology or timeline from a production or matter file, says "chron from the production" or "what happened when", or needs a working, statement-of-facts, or witness-specific timeline.

$litigation-legal:claim-chart

Apache-2.0GeneralLitigation

Build or review an element chart — a patent claim chart (infringement, invalidity, or review) or a civil element chart for any cause of action or defense — with every cell pin-cited and gap detection as the priority output. Use when the user asks for a claim chart, element chart, proof chart, infringement or invalidity contention, element-by-element mapping, or asks "what are we missing to prove [claim]".

$litigation-legal:cold-start-interview

Apache-2.0GeneralLitigation

House cold-start for the litigation plugin — branches by role (in-house, firm associate, solo) and side (plaintiff, defense, both), captures risk calibration, landscape, and house style, and writes the practice profile CLAUDE.md. Use on a fresh install, when the user wants to set up or redo the practice profile, or to re-check available integrations.
