/claim-chart

1. Load ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/litigation-legal/CLAUDE.md → role, work-product header, decision posture, document storage.
2. If matter workspaces enabled, confirm or select the active matter; load matter.md (side, jurisdiction, phase, theory, pleadings).
3. Follow the workflow and reference below.
4. Mode selection:
   • --patent → patent claim chart. Require patent number and at least one asserted claim. Sub-modes: --infringement, --invalidity, --review.
   • --civil → civil element chart. Require the cause of action (or defense) and the side.
   • No flag → ask the user which.
5. For civil mode: consult references/element-templates.md in the skill directory for the baseline element list. Confirm the controlling pattern instruction or statute with the user before mapping.
6. For patent mode: parse asserted claims into elements, flag disputed terms for construction, apply any Markman order.
7. Map elements against the target (accused product / prior art / evidence corpus / chart under review). Every cell pin-cited. Apply the apostrophe-prefix neutralization before writing any cell value starting with =, +, -, @, tab, or CR.
8. Produce the gap list (civil) or needs-evidence list (patent) — the priority output.
9. Write markdown, CSV (values + _sources companion), and Excel or Sheets per user preference. Work-product header on every output.
10. Write to the matter's claim-charts/ folder if a matter is active; otherwise the practice-level claim-charts/ folder. Append a one-line entry to history.md if a matter is active.
11. Return a summary readout: claim(s), target(s), jurisdiction, phase, element counts by state, the gap list, file paths, and the reminder that every cell is a lead.
