Workflow

Step 1: Analyze Input Materials

Scan the case folderand list all files
Identify material types：
- Legal service plans (.md/.docx)
- Chat records/communication records
- Evidence materials (images, PDFs)
- Client engagement materials
- Identity verification documents
- Other documents
Extract key information：
- Party information (plaintiff, defendant)
- Case type/cause of action
- Amount in dispute (if any)
- Opposing party information

Step 2: Establish the Standard Directory Structure

Create the 12-level directory based on the skill's built-in template.

For the detailed directory structure specification, see references/case-structure.md For each directory's subdirectory structure, associated Agent, and output file examples, see references/directory-guide.md

Step 3: Classify and Organize Materials

For the detailed material classification mapping, see references/case-structure.md

Step 4: Generate the Case Information Dashboard

Based on the template references/case-info-template.md , generate Case Information.md, including:

Basic case information
- Case name: format "Plaintiff + et al. + v. + Defendant + et al. + Cause of action"
- Case number: format "YYMMNN + party + cause of action"
- Cause of action, case type, current stage
Party information
- Plaintiff: name, type, ID number, address
- Defendant: name, type, ID number, legal representative
Focus of dispute(extracted from the legal service plan)
- Main points of dispute
- Secondary points of dispute
Timeline
- Law firm case filing date
- Estimated time nodes
Fee tracking
- Estimated attorney fees and litigation costs
Task list
- Break down tasks according to the 4-stage legal service plan
List of important near-term tasks(including today's to-dos and tomorrow's to-dos)
Statutory time limit management(table of standard time limits such as 15 days for responding to a lawsuit, 30 days for presenting evidence, 15 days for appeal, etc. + time limit risk warnings)
Risk alerts and points for attention(current risks + strategic recommendations)
Update history(standard table format)

Step 5: Generate work hour records and time limit management

Work hour records：00 - 📅 日程管理/[案件编号]工时记录.md

For detailed structure, see references/timesheet-template.md Includes: this month's work hour statistics table, 12-directory file list, case progress summary, cumulative work hour statistics, important notes and remarks
Time limit management：00 - 📅 日程管理/[案件编号].yaml

For detailed paragraph structure, see references/yaml-schema.md Mark 🔧 初始化 paragraphs are filled during case-setup; mark ⏳ 后续 paragraphs are left blank for subsequent Agents to fill

Optional Step 6: Generate legal service plan

If the materials include preliminary communication records or customer requirement descriptions, you may generate a legal service plan based on references/service-proposal-template.md to the 01 - 🤝 委托材料/ directory.
