/matter-intake

Load ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/litigation-legal/CLAUDE.md → risk calibration (for triage), landscape (for context, conflicts method), stakeholders (for who to loop in).
Follow the workflow and reference below.
Run the uniform intake: identification, conflicts check, source, risk triage, materiality, outside counsel, internal owners, legal hold, key dates, initial posture.
Generate slug from matter name (lowercase, hyphens, year).
Create ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/litigation-legal/matters/[slug]/matter.md — full narrative intake.
Create ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/litigation-legal/matters/[slug]/history.md — seeded with the intake as the first entry.
Append structured row to ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/litigation-legal/matters/_log.yaml.
Confirm with the user: "Here's the row I'll write — any edits?"

Matter Intake

Purpose

Every new matter goes through the same intake so the portfolio stays comparable. Uniform rows in _log.yaml let the status skill roll up. Narrative in matter.md captures what the row can't. History file seeded here becomes the event record.
