  3. Follow the workflow below.
  4. Run pre-drafting gates: confidentiality filter, admission risk, reservation of rights, settlement negotiation posture, waiver scan, tone, factual accuracy.
  5. Template selection: use a seed file if available; otherwise use the corresponding soft template for the letter type.
  6. Draft in the conversation for review. Iterate until the user approves.

Lawyer's Letter Drafting

Purpose

Produce a sendable draft from a completed engagement registration. The main value lies in refusing to draft until confidentiality, rights waiver, admission, and settlement communication posture have been consciously addressed — the failure mode is a letter that waives confidentiality or constitutes an admission because no one paused to check.

External deliverable: The drafted lawyer's letter is sent to the opposing party. Do not include a "Confidential · Attorney Work Product" header on outgoing letters. The post-sending checklist and engagement registration documents are internal work product and should bear the header.

Record Fidelity — Quotations and Precise Pinpointing

Verbatim quotations must be verbatim. Never quote the opposing party, its lawyer, a witness, or any document unless you have the exact passage. Misquoting a contract clause in a lawyer's letter is the fastest way to lose the opposing lawyer's trust in the first round.

Legal Status of a Lawyer's Letter

Under Chinese law, a lawyer's letter has the following legal significance:

  • Declaration of intent: A lawyer's letter constitutes the client's declaration of intent and may produce substantive-law effects (such as demand or notice of termination).
  • Interruption of the statute of limitations: Sending a lawyer's letter can constitute a ground for interrupting the statute of limitations under Article 195 of the Civil Code.[法条原文]
  • Evidentiary value: A lawyer's letter may be used as evidence in subsequent litigation.
  • No automatic confidentiality privilege: Under Chinese law, a lawyer's letter sent to the opposing party does not enjoy a "settlement negotiation privilege" similar to that under U.S. law (FRE 408). The contents of the lawyer's letter may be used as evidence by the opposing party.

Pre-Drafting Gates

This runs before any drafting.

起草前检查清单 —— [slug]

1. 保密过滤
   委托登记中的保密过滤:[列表]
   确认:这些都不会出现在草案中?[是/否]

2. 自认风险
   委托登记中的自认风险:[列表]
   对于每一项,措辞是否受控或已移除?[逐项是/否]

3. 权利保留
   是否明确声明保留所有权利,且不构成对任何权利的放弃?

4. 和解谈判姿态
   委托登记说明:[受保护 / 不受保护 / 个案判断]
   草案将[包含 / 不包含]和解谈判标记。

5. 保密弃权扫描
   草案中是否有任何句子会揭示我方内部法律分析的实质内容?[是/否]
   如是,起草前重新措辞。

6. 语气姿态
   委托登记说明:[维护关系 / 克制 / 进取]
   确认。

7. 事实准确性
   草案中的每个事实必须经核实。不是"可能真实"——经核实。

Template Selection

Payment demand letter skeleton:

  1. Parties and relationship background (1 paragraph)
  2. Facts — the obligation and its source (contract clause/invoice/order), dates
  3. Breach — what is owed, when it became due, what happened (or did not happen)
  4. Demand — specific amount, deadline, payment method
  5. Consequences — referral to lawyers, interest, costs, litigation
  6. Signature block

Breach/rectification demand letter skeleton:

  1. Parties and agreement (identify the contract — effective date, parties)
  2. The obligation alleged to have been breached — contract clause, plain language
  3. Breaching conduct — specific facts, dates, available evidence
  4. Rectification — what specific measures can rectify; rectification period
  5. Consequences of non-rectification—termination, damages, specific remedies under the contract
  6. Reservation of rights
  7. Signature block

Cease and desist letter skeleton:

  1. Parties and own rights (trademark/copyright/contract/common law—identify the rights)
  2. Infringement/violation—specific conduct, dates, evidence
  3. Demands—immediately cease, delete, report past use, written confirmation of compliance
  4. Compliance deadline
  5. Consequences of non-compliance—litigation, injunctive relief
  6. Preservation demands
  7. Signature block

Drafting rules

  1. Specific beats adjectives. "On March 14, 2026, you sent X" beats "you repeatedly and improperly sent X".
  2. Facts traceable to sources. Every factual assertion corresponds to a document, date, or witness. If not yet verifiable:[需核实:具体主张]。
  3. Citations as placeholders. [引用:法条/条款/案例] Place wherever legal authority is needed. Do not fabricate citations.
  4. Consequence language matches tone.
    • 维护关系: "We hope to resolve this matter without further action."
    • 克制: "If not rectified within [N] days, we will consider our options, including litigation."
    • 进取: "Failure to rectify within [N] days will result in immediate legal action."
  5. Do not discuss settlement in the record unless that is the intent.

What this skill does not do

  • Send letters. Draft only. The user sends.
  • Research citations. [引用:___] Placeholders remain placeholders.
  • Bypass pre-drafting gates. Even when using --skip-gate, the skill notes in the draft document that the gate was skipped and why.
