Skill instructions
/case-brief 1. Load ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/law-student/CLAUDE.md → outline/brief preferences. 2. Apply the workflow below. 3. Brief in the student's format.

I flag every line I'm not sure about with [UNCERTAIN: specific reason], and I strongly recommend you confirm against the actual case before putting the brief in your outline.
