Is the analysis neutral or defense-biased?

This skill is explicitly designed as a defense strategist. It focuses on persuasion, trial theory, and strategic positioning specifically to benefit the defense.

Does it provide verified legal citations?

No. While it suggests motions and case law, it flags all legal references with [VERIFY] and marks missing info as [NEEDS INVESTIGATION], requiring attorney review.

What types of case files can this skill analyze?

The skill supports PDFs (including scanned documents via OCR), DOCX, TXT, and Markdown files, as well as direct text input or directories of discovery materials.

Can I import files from Google Drive or Dropbox?

Yes, if a cloud storage connector is configured in your environment, the skill can pull case files directly from specific matter folders.

How does it handle large volumes of evidence?

It uses an orchestrator workflow that delegates specific sections of the playbook to four parallel subagents, ensuring a comprehensive analysis that stays within AI context limits.
