litigation-management-update-author — LITIGATION_MGMT_UPDATE generator

Standalone trigger that turns one or more documents into a versioned, audited litigation-management-update@1 markdown. Halts at PLAN approval and HITL gates; resumable from manifest.json state. Chains naturally into litigation-management-update-audit by default.

prompt_revision: litigation-mgmt-update_author@1.0.0

When to invoke this skill

CUO routes a request here when the user wants to:

• "Turn this into a LITIGATION_MGMT_UPDATE."
• "Generate v2 of the LITIGATION_MGMT_UPDATE from the updated source."
• "Draft a LITIGATION_MGMT_UPDATE for ."

If the user asks to audit an existing LITIGATION_MGMT_UPDATE, route to litigation-management-update-audit instead. If both, the supervisor chains the two.
