What it does
Matter Close is an agent skill from anthropics/claude-for-legal, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Close a matter — capture outcome, final exposure, and lessons, then archive it out of the active portfolio without deleting the record. Use when the user wants to close a matter, says "[matter] is done", or needs to record a settlement, dismissal, judgment, withdrawal, or consolidation outcome.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Legal & Compliance, covering Legal research. 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 wants to close a matter
- Says [matter] is done
- Needs to record a settlement
- Consolidation outcome
Example prompts
- “[matter] is done”
- “/matter-close”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
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 and yaml).
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 Close loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 77 tokens; SKILL.md has 623 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 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-for-legal/litigation-legal/matters/[slug]/matter.md— reference (intake context)~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/litigation-legal/matters/[slug]/history.md— append target
Conflicts gate — unbypassable. Before closing, 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. Nothing to close — either the slug is wrong or the matter was never intaken through
/litigation-legal:matter-intake. Check the slug first; if it genuinely was never intaken, there's no row to update and no file structure to close."
Input
Slug (required).
The close
1. Resolution type
settled— with counterparty, dollar amount, structural termsdismissed— with or without prejudice, by what mechanismjudgment-for-us— at what stage, appeal exposurejudgment-against-us— at what stage, appeal status, exposure crystallizedwithdrawn— by counterparty, circumstancesconsolidated— merged into another matter (provide slug of parent)other— with explanation
2. Resolution date
The date the matter actually ended (settlement executed, order issued, dismissal filed).
3. Final exposure
- Actual cost to company (settlement amount + fees + injunctive/structural cost)
- vs. initial exposure range at intake (did we call it?)
- Reserve accuracy (if reserved): booked vs. actual
4. Lessons
Two or three sentences. What did we get right? What did we misjudge? Anything the intake should have flagged earlier?
This is the part future counsel will reread. Be honest. "Misjudged likelihood — plaintiff firm was more aggressive than expected" is worth more than "resolved favorably."
5. Seed doc prompt
Settlement agreement, final order, dismissal — path if available. Not required.

Writing
Before closing the matter (the consequential act — the matter is archived and active tracking ends): Read ## Who's using this in ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/litigation-legal/CLAUDE.md. If the Role is Non-lawyer:
Closing a matter has legal consequences — it ends active tracking, may affect any associated legal hold (run
/legal-hold --releaseseparately if appropriate), and establishes the final record the company relies on. Have you reviewed this with an attorney? If yes, proceed. If no, here's a brief to bring to them:[Generate a 1-page summary: the matter, resolution type and terms, final exposure vs. initial, reserve accuracy, related matters or appeals still live, what could go wrong with premature closure, what to ask the attorney.]
If you need to find a licensed attorney, solicitor, barrister, or other authorised legal professional in your jurisdiction: your professional regulator's referral service is the fastest starting point (state bar in the US, SRA/Bar Standards Board in England & Wales, Law Society in Scotland/NI/Ireland/Canada/Australia, or your jurisdiction's equivalent).
Do not write the close fields or append the close entry without an explicit yes.
Update ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/litigation-legal/matters/_log.yaml
status: closed
closed: [YYYY-MM-DD]
outcome: [resolution-type]
final_cost: [dollar amount]
last_updated: [today] # close is the last touch; record itRetain all existing fields. Do not delete the row.
Append final entry to ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/litigation-legal/matters/[slug]/history.md
## [YYYY-MM-DD] — Matter closed: [resolution-type]
**Resolution:** [narrative — what happened, on what terms]
**Final cost:** [amount + structural terms if any]
**vs. initial exposure:** [compare to matter.md intake range]
**Reserve accuracy:** [if applicable]
**Lessons:**
[2-3 sentences — honest retrospective]
**Related doc:** [settlement agreement / final order / etc., if provided]Touch ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/litigation-legal/matters/[slug]/matter.md
Add a closing block at the end (don't modify earlier sections — they're the historical intake):
---
## Closed [YYYY-MM-DD]
[Resolution summary in one paragraph. Pointer to the final history entry for detail.]Confirm
Show the user the full close entry and the yaml changes before writing.
What this skill does not do
- Delete matters. Closed matters stay in
_log.yamland on disk — they're the training set for the portfolio's judgment. - Re-open. If a closed matter comes back (appeal, related litigation), open a new matter that references the closed one in
matter.md. - Summarize lessons the user didn't say. If the user skips the lessons section, leave it empty rather than invent.
