Skill instructions
/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 Capture outcome: resolution type (settled, dismissed, judgment for/against, withdrawn, consolidated), date, final exposure/cost, lessons. 4.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. Load context - ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/litigation-legal/matters/log.yaml — find the row - ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude
