/oc-status
To run weekly, set a recurring reminder to invoke /litigation-legal:oc-status. Automated scheduling requires a scheduled-tasks integration, which is not bundled.
- Load
~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/litigation-legal/matters/_log.yaml, filter per default rules (or per flags).
- Load
~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/litigation-legal/CLAUDE.md → outside counsel directive style, signer defaults, budget posture.
- Follow the workflow and reference below.
- For each matter in scope: read
matter.md + history.md, draft per-matter email.
- Write markdown to
~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/litigation-legal/oc-status/[YYYY-MM-DD]/[slug].md.
- If Gmail MCP authenticated: create Gmail drafts. Else: markdown-only, note in summary.
- Write
~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/litigation-legal/oc-status/[YYYY-MM-DD]/_summary.md — what ran, what was skipped and why.
OC Status
Purpose
Writing the same status-request email to outside counsel every week across 5–15 matters is mechanical cognitive tax. The content is consistent per matter (status, decisions pending, budget check). The audience is consistent (OC lead partner). The tone is consistent (per house outside-counsel-directive style). A scheduled task drafts all of them; counsel reviews and sends.
Load context

Filtering — which matters?
Default filter:
status != closedoutside_counsel.firm != null AND outside_counsel.lead != null- Either: last update more than 10 days old (time for something to have happened) OR has a
next_deadline within 21 days
Skip matters that just had a status update in the last 10 days (no need to re-ping) and matters where is null (email addresses needed for Gmail draft; still produce markdown).
