Legal Deposition Prep Coach

Overview

Builds deposition preparation outlines for witnesses, attorneys, themes, exhibits, and question sequences. 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

  • Preparing a witness for deposition
  • Drafting deposition outlines
  • Organizing exhibits and themes

Target Users

  • Litigators
  • Witness preparation teams
  • Paralegals

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. Witness background checklist — provides structured prompts, checklists, and review fields for this area.
  2. Theme and objective map — provides structured prompts, checklists, and review fields for this area.
  3. Question sequence builder — provides structured prompts, checklists, and review fields for this area.
  4. Exhibit reference list — provides structured prompts, checklists, and review fields for this area.
  5. Preparation do/don’t reminders — 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

  • Deposition outline
  • Witness prep checklist
  • Exhibit/topic map
  • Follow-up question bank

Example Prompts

  • "Create a deposition prep outline for a corporate witness."
  • "Help organize topics for deposing a former employee."

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 coach false testimony or obstruction; all preparation must preserve truthfulness and comply with ethics rules.

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 package is a document-only, descriptive skill and appears coherent with its stated goal. Before using it: (1) do not paste privileged or unredacted client documents or secrets into the chat — provide redacted summaries instead; (2) verify all legal recommendations and jurisdictional rules with qualified counsel (the skill is not a substitute for legal advice); (3) avoid using it to prepare anything that could encourage false testimony or evidence fabrication (the SKILL.md forbids this); (4) if you are concerned about autonomous invocation, review your agent's skill invocation settings (the skill itself does not request broad privileges); and (5) treat outputs as planning aids only and have an attorney review any final materials.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: legal-deposition-prep-coach Version: 1.0.0 The skill is a purely descriptive, non-executable bundle designed to provide legal workflow templates and checklists for deposition preparation. It contains no code (no handler.py), no network capabilities, and includes explicit safety disclaimers regarding legal advice and ethical conduct across SKILL.md and README.md. All files are consistent with the stated purpose and lack any indicators of malicious intent or technical vulnerabilities.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name, description, SKILL.md, README, and skill.json consistently describe a text-only deposition-prep framework. There are no unrelated dependencies, environment variables, or binaries requested, which aligns with the stated purpose.
Instruction Scope
The runtime instructions ask the agent to solicit factual context, documents, parties, dates, and constraints from the user — which is expected for a prep coach but means the agent may prompt for sensitive or privileged case details. The SKILL.md explicitly forbids code execution, network calls, fabrication of evidence, and coaching false testimony, and it flags ethics/confidentiality concerns.
Install Mechanism
No install specification and no code files are included (instruction-only). This minimizes on-disk execution risk; nothing is downloaded or installed.
Credentials
The package requests no environment variables, credentials, or config paths (proportionate). However, it expects users to supply factual/contextual inputs (potentially sensitive). Users should avoid pasting privileged documents or confidential client data into the agent unless they accept that data will be processed by the agent runtime.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false, there is no installation behavior or self-modifying configuration, and the skill does not request persistent system privileges. Model invocation is enabled (platform default) but that alone is not a concern here.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install legal-deposition-prep-coach
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /legal-deposition-prep-coach
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
