Roll up the portfolio from _log.yaml — risk distribution, upcoming deadlines, stale matters, materiality totals, stage distribution, and flagged anomalies. Use when the user asks "where do we stand", "how many open matters", or wants a portfolio rollup or status across all active matters.

AI-generated overview

Rolls up a litigation matter portfolio from a local YAML log into a status report with risks, deadlines and anomalies.

What it does
Reads a litigation matter log file and a risk-calibration config, then produces a scannable portfolio rollup. The output covers risk distribution, upcoming deadlines in 14/30/60-day windows, stale matters, materiality totals, stage distribution, and flagged anomalies such as overdue deadlines, unresolved conflicts, missing outside counsel, stale reserves and legal-hold gaps. It ends with a next-steps decision tree and may offer a dashboard when the portfolio is large.
When to use it
Use when a user asks where the portfolio stands, how many matters are open, or wants a status rollup across all active matters. It suits a quick pre-call read on what needs attention and what is slipping.
Requirements
Requires the litigation-legal plugin configuration files at the documented paths: a matters log YAML file and a CLAUDE.md risk-calibration file. No scripts are shipped; it is instructions only.

/portfolio-status

  1. Load ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/litigation-legal/CLAUDE.md → risk calibration (defines how to read the risk: field).
  2. Follow the workflow and reference below.
  3. Parse ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/litigation-legal/matters/_log.yaml. Filter closed matters by default (include with --all).
  4. Produce rollup: risk distribution, deadlines in next 14/30/60 days, matters with no update in >30 days, materiality totals, stage distribution.
  5. Flag anomalies — everything marked critical, overdue next_deadline, matters without outside counsel assigned where risk is medium or high.

Portfolio Status

Purpose

One read that answers: what do I own right now, what needs attention, and what's slipping? Output is scannable — designed for a counsel who has three minutes before their next call.

Load context

  • ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/litigation-legal/matters/_log.yaml — source of truth
  • ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/litigation-legal/CLAUDE.md — risk calibration (to interpret risk/materiality fields correctly)

Flags & filters

Default: active matters only (exclude status: closed).

Flags:

  • --all — include closed
  • --risk=high (or critical / medium / low) — filter by risk band
  • --stale — only matters with last_updated > 30 days
  • --type=employment — filter by matter type
  • --owner=[name] — filter by business/HR/comms owner

The rollup

markdown
[WORK-PRODUCT HEADER — per plugin config ## Outputs — differs by role; see `## Who's using this`]
# Portfolio Status — [today]
**Active matters:** [N]**Closed (ytd):** [N] *(shown only with --all)*
---
## By risk
| Risk | Count | Matters ||---|---|---|| Critical | [N] | [slugs] || High | [N] | [slugs] || Medium | [N] | [count only — expand with `--risk=medium`] || Low | [N] | [count only] |
## Upcoming deadlines
| Within | Matters ||---|---|| 14 days | [slug — deadline — brief] || 15–30 days | [...] || 31–60 days | [...] |
*Overdue `next_deadline` flagged separately below.*
## Materiality
| Category | Count | Total exposure (midpoint) ||---|---|---|| Reserved | [N] | [$X] || Disclosed | [N] | [$X] || Monitored | [N] | — || None | [N] | — |
## By stage
[table: pleadings / discovery / dispositive motions / trial prep / settlement / appeal]
---
## ⚠️ Anomalies & flags
- **Overdue deadlines:** [list slugs where next_deadline has passed]- **Stale (>30d no update):** [list]- **Conflicts unresolved:** [list slugs with `conflicts.status in [pending, not-run]`]- **Conflicts bypassed (override active):** [list slugs where `conflicts.override.by` is populated — permanent flag until manually cleared]- **High/critical risk without outside counsel:** [list]- **Reserved without last_updated in >60d:** [list] — reserve recalibration likely overdue- **Hold not issued on active litigation:** [list]- **Missing fields:** [slug → field]
---
## Closing advice
[One or two sentences on what to look at first, if anything stands out. Not boilerplate — only if something truly stands out.]

Anomaly rules

These are the checks that make the skill useful rather than decorative:

  1. Overdue deadline: next_deadline < today and status != closed
  2. Stale: last_updated < today - 30d and status != closed
  3. Conflicts unresolved: conflicts.status in [pending, not-run] and status != closed 3b. Conflicts override active: conflicts.override.by != null (never auto-clears)
  4. High-risk uncovered: risk in [high, critical] and outside_counsel.firm == null
  5. Stale reserve: materiality == reserved and last_updated < today - 60d
  6. Hold gap: status in [threatened, active, discovery, trial, appeal] and legal_hold.issued == false — preservation duty attaches at reasonable anticipation, so threatened matters are in scope.
  7. Missing fields: any required field null — risk, materiality, status, opened, conflicts.status

Close with the next-steps decision tree

End with the next-steps decision tree per CLAUDE.md ## Outputs. Customize the options to what this skill just produced — the five default branches (draft the X, escalate, get more facts, watch and wait, something else) are a starting point, not a lock-in. The tree is the output; the lawyer picks.

If the portfolio has more than ~10 matters, or any time the user asks: offer the dashboard (see CLAUDE.md ## Outputs → Dashboard offer for data-heavy outputs). Shape the offer for this output — counts by risk tier, a timeline of upcoming deadlines, and a sortable matter ledger with status, conflicts check, and last-touched date.

What this skill does not do

  • Make decisions. It surfaces what needs attention; the user decides priority.
  • Pretend precision it doesn't have. Exposure midpoints are rough and should be labeled so.
  • Replace a real MMS. This is a working-memory rollup, not a system of record.
