description	Assemble court closeout and sentencing packet JSON from staged hearing notes, petitions, worksheets, form excerpts, templates, and Court Operations Portal records. Use when a task provides an answer template plus local payloads and asks for reconciled dispositions, fee tables, payment plans, probation or license orders, placeholders, exclusions, or register totals.

Court Packet Assembler

Use this skill for staged court packet tasks where the answer must be a single JSON object matching answer_template.json.

Workflow

1. Read prompt.txt, every file under payloads/, and answer_template.json first.
2. Read environment_access.md for the portal base URL. Query only the listed endpoints the packet needs, usually jurisdictions, cases or citations, charges, docket-entries, fee-schedules, payment-policies, forms, financial-petitions, and search.
3. Treat signed orders, hearing notes, portal records, and current fee or policy data as authoritative. Treat worksheets, queue extracts, draft forms, stale memos, and older revisions as conflict sources to reconcile, not as final truth.
4. Follow the template exactly: required keys, nesting, enum values, ordering rules, date formats, currency precision, and null handling. Return JSON only.
5. Surface every material conflict in the designated audit, exclusion, or placeholder section. Do not silently merge contradictory facts.
6. Use the exact placeholder the packet requires, usually TBD from case file, for missing identifiers, addresses, phone numbers, license numbers, officer details, or similar required form fields.
7. Exclude fees, charges, or matters unless a current order, current schedule, or current policy supports them. Keep pending or unsigned matters out of posted financial totals.
8. Compute payment-plan schedules from the approved balance and installment amount, including any final remainder installment and any required return-to-court date.
9. Sort arrays and totals exactly as the template instructs.

Packet Shapes

• Build audit_findings / case_dispositions / fee_reconciliation / docket_entries / register_totals for disposition closeouts.
• Build matters / excluded_charges / batch_totals for citation payment-plan closeouts.
• Build case_memo / cc1375 / cc1379 / budget_review / placeholder_fields / excluded_financial_items for post-sentencing packets.
• Build petitions / probation_referrals / license_orders / placeholder_cases for petition-and-supervision packets.
