What it does
Matter Briefing is an agent skill from anthropics/claude-for-legal, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Deep briefing on one matter — current posture, what's changed, next deadline, open questions, and a risk re-assessment check, ready before a GC update or outside counsel call. Use when the user says "brief me on [matter]", "where are we on [matter]", or needs a read on a specific matter.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: A suite of plugins for legal workflows. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- The user says brief me on [matter]
- Where are we on [matter]
- Needs a read on a specific matter
Example prompts
- “brief me on [matter]”
- “where are we on [matter]”
- “/matter-briefing”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Load ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/litigation-legal/CLAUDE.md → risk calibration + relevant stakeholders.
- Follow the workflow and reference below.

- Flag staleness: if last_updated > 30 days, say so.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4a6c651. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Matter Briefing loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 343 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Matter Briefing
Purpose
Give the counsel a clean read on one matter in the time it takes to walk to a conference room. Current posture, what's changed, what's next, what's worth reconsidering.
Load context
~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/litigation-legal/matters/_log.yaml— structured row~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/litigation-legal/matters/[slug]/matter.md— narrative intake~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/litigation-legal/matters/[slug]/history.md— event log~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/litigation-legal/CLAUDE.md— risk calibration (so "risk: high" means something specific, not generic)
Conflicts gate — unbypassable. Before briefing, check _log.yaml for the matter slug. If the matter is not in _log.yaml, refuse and route:
"I don't see [matter slug] in the matter log. Run
/litigation-legal:matter-intakefirst so the conflicts check runs and the matter workspace is set up. I won't build a briefing on a matter that hasn't been intaken — the conflicts check is the gate."
Input
Slug (required). If ambiguous or missing, ask the user to pick from a list of active matters.
The briefing
[WORK-PRODUCT HEADER — per plugin config ## Outputs — differs by role; see `## Who's using this`]
# [Matter Name] — Briefing as of [today]
**Status:** [status / stage]
**Risk:** [rating] ([severity] × [likelihood])
**Materiality:** [category]
**Outside counsel:** [firm — lead]
**Last updated:** [date] [flag ⚠️ STALE if >30d]
**Conflicts:** [status — flag ⚠️ if `pending` or `not-run`]
---
## One-paragraph summary
[Current posture. What are we doing and why. Name the pivot fact if one is captured.]
## What's changed recently
[Last 3-5 entries from history.md, most recent first. If history is thin, say so.]
## What's next
- **Immediate deadline:** [next_deadline + what it is]
- **Upcoming milestones:** [anything dated in matter.md or recent history]
- **Decisions pending:** [open questions flagged in matter.md]
## Exposure
[Range + any change since intake. If reserved, current reserve + whether recalibration is overdue.]
## Internal owners
[Who's looped in; whether anyone should be looped in and isn't]
## Risk re-assessment check
*A prompt, not an answer.*
- Does `risk: [rating]` still feel right, or has the case moved?
- Does `materiality: [category]` still match? (New facts might push toward reserve or disclosure.)
- Any new stakeholder the matter needs (e.g., CISO becomes relevant after a discovery development)?
## Open questions
[From matter.md and anything unresolved in history]
## For the conversation
[If user specified a purpose — "brief me before the call with outside counsel" — tailor the final section: questions to ask, decisions to get, updates to extract. If no purpose given, omit this section.]Staleness
If last_updated > 30 days ago: flag at the top AND suggest running /litigation-legal:matter-update [slug] after the meeting to capture whatever's discussed.
Tone
This is not marketing. Say what's known; flag what's not. If a matter has thin history and was just opened, the briefing is short — and that's correct. Don't pad.
Close with the next-steps decision tree
End with the next-steps decision tree per CLAUDE.md ## Outputs. Customize the options to what this skill just produced — the five default branches (draft the X, escalate, get more facts, watch and wait, something else) are a starting point, not a lock-in. The tree is the output; the lawyer picks.
What this skill does not do
- Predict outcomes. Risk rating is a captured judgment, not a forecast.
- Recommend strategy. Surfaces questions; the counsel answers them.
- Re-triage. If the user wants to re-triage, that's an
/matter-updatewith field changes — this skill reads, doesn't write.
