Controlled case-closing workflow, all matter types. Use for closing letters, closing packets, checklists, and closure approval - full rep, limited scope, flat-fee, withdrawal, GAL, mediation.

Case roadmap generator and updater. Fires when new documents appear at session start and at inflection points - versioned roadmap doc with current stage, next actions, and attorney flags.

Ambient rule: fires whenever any case citation appears or is requested. Caselaw comes only from the authorized repository, never memory or internet; every citation gets a verification warning.

The per-matter state file every suite reads and writes. Use for case status, what's next, deadlines, stage logging, scope changes, and attorney flags. Fires at session open and after any stage.

Four-lane correspondence engine: client, opposing counsel, bench, third party. Use to draft, revise, or QC any outgoing letter or email on a matter, with approval hard stops and pre-send QC.

Ambient rule: fires whenever any PDF or scanned document is read, reviewed, renamed, sorted, or used for feedback. Requires OCR verification before feedback; unreadable files must be reported.

Ambient rule: fires whenever any draft is produced, revised, or finalized. Enforces the three draft tiers - Attorney Review, Client Review, Final - each independently versioned.

Drafting Core: notices, basic motions, related proposed orders, and responses in Florida family law. Runs the compliance check and firm formatting; outputs Word with an Options Panel.

Ambient rule: fires when a template can't be found or output is rejected despite following the skills. Search the firm exemplar library for real exemplars and retry; strip prior-client facts.

Storage abstraction - the one skill that touches files. Use for any read, write, scan, save, or template pull on a matter, and to connect or switch storage providers. Fires at session open.

Whole-matter file audit, rename, and re-folder. Use when matter documents need auditing, sorting, renaming, or re-foldering - organize the matter, fix file names, find what's missing or misfiled.

Ambient rule: fires whenever filing or service status is stated, logged, or relied on. Folder location is the evidence of status - a draft is never evidence of filing or service.

Final production step for court documents. Use after QC to produce the filing-ready Word and matching PDF - firm formatting enforced, internal notes stripped. Never runs on a blocked draft.

Opens a new financial discovery matter (Stages 1-2). Use to establish case context and produce the case summary memo from initial pleadings. Always run before other financial work.

Florida legal ethics and AI-use compliance for family law. Fires on any ethics question - conflicts, confidentiality, AI use, billing, trust accounts, Bar rules. Produces a written assessment.

The front door. Use for any how-do-I, which-skill, what's-the-process, or I'm-stuck question - routes to the right installed skill, builds a step-by-step how-to guide, or answers directly.

Buyer-side installer. Use when installing or configuring a purchased LAL suite - verifies the org-wide plugin install, builds the Firm Profile, births the command center, runs verification.

Ambient rule: fires at the start of every session. Never invent a missing template; no web search on client matters unless asked; check connectors before declaring a capability unavailable.

Ambient: fires when any judge, magistrate, division, circuit, or Florida county is mentioned. Covers motion practice, hearings, proposed orders, GM procedure. Always live-search, never cached.

Output format standards for every deliverable. Use whenever a skill produces an Excel, PDF, or Word file to confirm correct format and structure. Sets format only - never redirects work.

Ambient pleading standard: fires on any court-bound drafting. Court formatting correct from the first keystroke; drafts carry highlighted attorney notes and alternatives until finalized.

Mandatory pre-filing QC gate. Fires when any filable document completes drafting - six screens including anti-hallucination and caselaw compliance. Critical findings block; attorney clears.

First touch on a matter. Use on any new, transferred, or in-progress matter to scan the file, infer what already happened, and birth the command center. Runs once per matter, before other skills.
