SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Intake a new legal matter consistently by collecting the right identification, conflicts, risk, materiality, counsel, and key dates so the portfolio can be tracked uniformly across matters.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Standardized matter creation: Collects uniform fields (identification, posture, legal hold, key dates) and prepares a narrative intake for the matter record.
  • Conflicts posture capture: Records conflicts status and details (including gating behavior when not-run) so downstream workflows can proceed safely.
  • Risk triage and materiality capture: Uses house calibration references to document severity/likelihood/risk rating and materiality thresholds.
  • Portfolio-ready outputs: Writes matter.md and history.md, and appends a structured row to the central matters log for rollups.

Quick Start

Run the matter-intake skill when you need to bring a new matter into your litigation-legal portfolio, for example when the user says new matter or intake this matter.

FAQPage Schema
How do I intake a new legal matter and ensure consistent portfolio tracking?▼

Legal matter intake collects identification, conflicts, risk triage, materiality, counsel, legal hold, and key dates in one pass. This generates uniform matter records that roll up into a central log for status tracking and downstream workflows.

What is a conflicts posture gate in matter onboarding?▼

A conflicts posture gate enforces conflicts check status during matter onboarding, recording details and blocking downstream workflow progression when the check has not been run, ensuring safe portfolio logging.

How do I record risk triage and materiality thresholds during case onboarding?▼

Risk triage and materiality capture applies house calibration references to document severity, likelihood, risk rating, and materiality thresholds directly within the generated intake record for the new matter.

Can I use this matter intake process for litigation-legal workflows?▼

Yes, matter intake applies specifically to litigation-legal workflows where matters must be recorded uniformly, writing structured matter files and appending rows to a central log for portfolio rollups.

What files are generated when onboarding a new legal matter?▼

Onboarding a new matter writes matter.md and history.md under a computed slug, and appends a structured row to the central matters log for portfolio tracking and downstream processing.

Why does my matter intake workflow require uniform field collection?▼

Uniform field collection ensures matters are tracked consistently across the portfolio, capturing identification, posture, legal hold, and key dates so downstream skills can process standardized matter records without missing data.
