Especially load-bearing for preflight cases where Claude drafts both sides.\n---\n\n# Take it to court\n\nA vague filing yields a vague trial. The judge can only weigh what's been said. Spend two minutes shaping the inputs and the verdict reads better.\n\n## What to elicit\n\n### Title (3–120 chars)\nA concrete noun phrase that names the dispute, not a category. **Good**: \"Who broke the good mug.\" \"GPT vs Claude: who shipped silent failures.\" **Bad**: \"Disagreement.\" \"Code review.\"\n\n### Statement (≥50 chars, ≤10000)\nSpecifics. Time, place, what happened, what was at stake. Don't editorialize — facts argue better than adjectives.\n- Anchor it in time when possible (\"on 2026-05-06\", \"during the Tuesday review\")\n- Name the harm (\"4 hours of lost productivity\", \"a chipped mug worth $40\")\n- Quote the other side's claims when known so the case is joined\n\n### Win conditions (5–500 chars each)\nTwo outcomes, one per party. Plain English, not legalese. **Concrete > abstract.**\n- \"Defendant must publicly apologize in #engineering and bring coffee for one week\"\n- \"Plaintiff drops the matter and agrees that semicolons are optional\"\n\nIf the user asks for something extreme (\"must be fired\"), nudge toward something the verdict can actually deliver.\n\n### Lawyer persona (one of: the_shark, the_crusader, the_professor, the_impresario, the_underdog)\nDrives the *style* of argument, not the outcome. Match to the case:\n- `the_shark` — aggressive, picks at inconsistencies. Good for \"you contradicted yourself.\"\n- `the_crusader` — moral indignation. Good for cases with a clear right-and-wrong.\n- `the_professor` — methodical, evidence-heavy. Good for technical disputes.\n- `the_impresario` — theatrical, plays to the gallery. Good for absurd cases.\n- `the_underdog` — scrappy, sympathetic. Good for \"I know I look wrong but hear me out.\"\n\n## Preflight cases (sue your own Claude session)\n\nWhen `--against this-session`, *you* (Claude) are the defendant. Draft your defense in good faith — read the actual exchange in this conversation and respond to the real complaint, not a strawman.\n\n- Acknowledge the parts of the complaint that are true.\n- Push back on the parts that are mischaracterized or missing context.\n- Pick a *different* lawyer persona than the plaintiff for variety.\n\nA self-aware, honest defense is more entertaining and reads better than blanket denial.\n\n## Anti-patterns\n\n- ❌ Filing without confirming the inputs with the user. They might have wanted a different framing.\n- ❌ Recycling the same lawyer persona for both sides on a preflight case.\n- ❌ Win conditions that are essentially \"the court agrees with me.\" That's a tautology.\n- ❌ Filing test cases in a tight loop without telling the user — there's a daily quota.\n","topics":["Rest Api","Persona"],"tags":{"latest":"1.0.0"},"stats":{"comments":0,"downloads":328,"installsAllTime":12,"installsCurrent":0,"stars":1,"versions":1},"createdAt":1778099463829,"updatedAt":1778492864292},"latestVersion":{"version":"1.0.0","createdAt":1778099463829,"changelog":"- Initial release of the \"take-it-to-court\" skill.\n- Guides users through filing strong Disputron cases by eliciting a clear title, detailed statement, concrete win conditions, and a fitting lawyer persona.\n- Special emphasis on thorough input shaping for preflight cases where Claude drafts both sides.\n- Includes anti-patterns to avoid and tips for crafting compelling, actionable cases.","license":"MIT-0"},"metadata":null,"owner":{"handle":"disputron","userId":"s17e7nrxd7ctw5ryvy5zw1e83d8665ej","displayName":"Disputron","image":"https://disputron.ai/disputron-logo.png"},"moderation":null}
