/matter-close

1. Follow the workflow and reference below.
2. Confirm slug and current status.
3. Capture outcome: resolution type (settled, dismissed, judgment for/against, withdrawn, consolidated), date, final exposure/cost, lessons.
4. Update _log.yaml: status: closed, add closed: YYYY-MM-DD and outcome: fields.
5. Append final entry to ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/litigation-legal/matters/[slug]/history.md.
6. Matter stays in _log.yaml and ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/litigation-legal/matters/[slug]/ — not deleted. /portfolio-status filters it from active rollups.

Matter Close

Purpose

Matters end. The outcome is the single most valuable data point the portfolio generates — it calibrates the risk framework for future matters. Closing a matter captures the outcome structurally so the record is useful, not just archived.
