Legal Matter Triage Framework

Overview

Helps legal teams triage incoming matters by urgency, risk, deadlines, forum, and required expertise. This is a descriptive OpenClaw skill for legal-industry workflow support. It provides structured frameworks, checklists, templates, and issue-spotting prompts. It does not execute code, call external APIs, access legal databases, retrieve court records, automate filings, or perform legal services.

When to Use

  • Sorting a queue of new requests
  • Prioritizing legal work
  • Escalating high-risk matters

Target Users

  • In-house counsel
  • Law firm associates
  • Legal operations teams

Inputs to Collect

  • Matter or project context, including jurisdiction if known
  • Relevant facts, documents, parties, dates, and constraints
  • Desired output format, audience, and level of detail
  • Known deadlines, risk concerns, or review priorities

Core Modules

  1. Urgency/risk scoring — provides structured prompts, checklists, and review fields for this area.
  2. Deadline and statute capture — provides structured prompts, checklists, and review fields for this area.
  3. Practice-area routing — provides structured prompts, checklists, and review fields for this area.
  4. Privilege/confidentiality caution points — provides structured prompts, checklists, and review fields for this area.
  5. Next-action plan — provides structured prompts, checklists, and review fields for this area.

Workflow

  1. Confirm the user's legal workflow goal and the relevant practice context.
  2. Ask for missing facts, documents, dates, parties, jurisdiction, and audience where needed.
  3. Apply the modules below as a structured thinking framework.
  4. Produce checklists, templates, matrices, memos, or planning aids tailored to the user's context.
  5. Flag uncertainty, verification needs, deadlines, ethics concerns, confidentiality issues, and attorney-review points.

Expected Outputs

  • Matter priority matrix
  • Escalation recommendations
  • Initial next-step checklist

Example Prompts

  • "Triage these five incoming legal requests by urgency and risk."
  • "Create a triage rubric for an in-house legal helpdesk."

Safety and Legal Limitations

  • This skill provides informational workflow support only and is not legal advice.
  • It does not create an attorney-client relationship and does not replace review by a qualified attorney.
  • Laws, court rules, deadlines, ethics duties, privilege, confidentiality, and professional responsibility rules vary by jurisdiction and matter.
  • Users must verify all legal authorities, filing requirements, deadlines, facts, citations, and strategic decisions with qualified counsel.
  • The skill must not be used to fabricate evidence, coach false testimony, evade regulation, access data unlawfully, or bypass confidentiality obligations.
  • Specific limitation for this skill: Does not decide legal rights or deadlines; users must verify all dates and legal requirements with qualified counsel.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Package is descriptive only: no handler.py, scripts, external APIs, network calls, or command execution.
  • SKILL.md and README.md are English-first and include an explicit legal-information disclaimer.
  • Outputs are frameworks, checklists, templates, or planning aids rather than legal conclusions.
  • Includes target users, when-to-use guidance, inputs, workflow, outputs, examples, and safety limitations.
  • skill.json contains unique slug, tags, trigger keywords, requires_api=false, and readiness=stable.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent and descriptive-only, so it does not request credentials or install code. Before using it, remember: (1) it is not legal advice — always verify deadlines, statutes, and strategy with qualified counsel; (2) avoid pasting confidential or sensitive client data into any public or shared AI context; (3) confirm the published package you install matches the reviewed files (authors and package contents can change); and (4) if you need automation (filings, database lookups), use a different, explicitly integrated tool that requires appropriate credentials and safeguards.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: legal-matter-triage-framework Version: 1.0.0 The skill is a purely descriptive framework for legal triage and contains no executable code, scripts, or network capabilities. It provides structured prompts and checklists for legal professionals and includes appropriate safety disclaimers across SKILL.md and README.md.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name, description, and files (SKILL.md, README.md, skill.json) all describe a document-only triage framework. The package requests no binaries, env vars, or config paths — which is proportional for a descriptive skill.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md explicitly limits behavior (no code execution, no external API calls, no database access) and focuses solely on collecting case facts and producing checklists, matricies, and templates. It does not instruct the agent to read unrelated files, access environment variables, or transmit data to external endpoints.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec and no code files; this is the lowest-risk form (instruction-only). The package's ACCEPTANCE.md enforces no handler.py/scripts, which aligns with the described constraints.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are required. That is appropriate for a descriptive workflow skill and presents no unexplained request for secrets or cloud access.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not set always:true and is user-invocable only. It does not request persistent system-level privileges or modifications to other skills' configs.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install legal-matter-triage-framework
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /legal-matter-triage-framework
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
