Mediation Dispute Analysis
Overview
This skill helps lawyers and mediators rapidly analyze case materials to produce a structured dispute analysis — identifying the core issues, each party's position and underlying interests, relevant legal principles, and potential directions for mediation or settlement.
The skill is designed for civil and commercial disputes of all kinds: contract disputes, business disagreements, property conflicts, employment issues, consumer claims, and more. It takes a resolution-oriented approach, focusing not just on legal rights but on practical paths to agreement.
Mediation, at its core, is negotiation between disputing parties assisted by a neutral third party. Unlike arbitration or litigation, the mediator has no decision-making power — the parties themselves craft their resolution. This skill helps the lawyer or mediator prepare the analytical groundwork that makes that resolution possible.

Professional Excel spreadsheet creation with a focus on aesthetics and data analysis. Use when creating spreadsheets for organizing, analyzing, and presenting structured data in a clear and professional format.
1xlsx-processing-anthropic
Use this skill any time a spreadsheet file is the primary input or output. This means any task where the user wants to: open, read, edit, or fix an existing .xlsx, .xlsm, .csv, or .tsv file (e.g., adding columns, computing formulas, formatting, charting, cleaning messy data); create a new spreadsheet from scratch or from other data sources; or convert between tabular file formats. Trigger especially when the user references a spreadsheet file by name or path — even casually (like \"the xlsx in my downloads\") — and wants something done to it or produced from it. Also trigger for cleaning or restructuring messy tabular data files (malformed rows, misplaced headers, junk data) into proper spreadsheets. The deliverable must be a spreadsheet file. Do NOT trigger when the primary deliverable is a Word document, HTML report, standalone Python script, database pipeline, or Google Sheets API integration, even if tabular data is involved.
