Skill instructions
/matter-workspace Practitioners work across multiple clients and matters. A matter workspace keeps one client or engagement's context separate from every other. This command manages those workspaces. Subcommands - /litigation-legal:matter-workspace new <slug — create a new matter workspace, run a short intake, write matter.md - /litigation-legal:matter-workspace list — list matters with status and active flag - /litigation-legal:matter-workspace switch <slug — set the active matter - /litigation-legal:matter-workspace close <slug — archive a matter (move to ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/litigation-legal/matters/archived/, never delete) - /litigation-legal:matter-workspace none — detach from any active matter, work at practice-level only Note: /litigation-legal:matter-briefing [slug] (no subcommand) is a separate command that produces a briefing on a specific matter — useful for in-house portfolio review. Matter workspace management lives here. Instructions 1. Read ~/.claude
