  Reference: DEPRECATED — use `/client-letter` for routine correspondence or
  `/status client` for substantive updates. Split into two more focused skills

# [DEPRECATED] Plain-Language Letters → see `/client-letter` and `/status client`

This skill was split during the v2 rebuild:

- **Routine correspondence** (appointment confirms, document requests, brief
  "we filed it" updates) → `skills/client-letter/` — use `/client-letter [type]`

- **Substantive client status updates** → `skills/status/` in client-facing
  mode — use `/status client`

Both apply the plain-language standards (reading level, no jargon) from CLAUDE.md.

See the respective SKILL.md files for full workflows.

brief-section-drafter	Draft a brief section in house style, consistent with the case theory — every fact cited, every case checked, every argument tied to the theory. Use when the user says "draft the [section]", "write the statement of facts", "argument section on [issue]", or needs a first draft of a brief section.
