I. Skill Architecture
Comprehensive Legal Applications
├── Litigation Workflows → Civil / Criminal / Administrative
├── Trial Practice → Court Preparation / Defense / Cross-Examination
├── Legal Document Drafting → Complaints / Answers / Appeals / Opinions
├── Non-Contentious Procedures → Arbitration / Mediation / Admin Review
├── Enforcement → Execution Applications / Objections
└── Litigation Strategy → Risk Assessment / Cost-Benefit Analysis
II. Core Workflows
Workflow A: Litigation Procedure Guidance
When the user needs procedural guidance for civil, criminal, or administrative litigation:
Step 1: Identify case type
├── Civil dispute → Read references/civil-procedure.md
├── Criminal case → Read references/criminal-procedure.md
└── Admin dispute → Read references/admin-procedure.md
Step 2: Determine current stage
├── Pre-filing → Evidence collection + pre-action preservation + jurisdiction
├── Filing → Filing materials checklist + jurisdiction rules
├── First instance → Evidence deadlines + trial prep + cross-examination plan
├── Appeal → Appeal deadline: 15 days(civil)/10 days(criminal) + draft appeal
├── Retrial → Apply within 6 months + retrial grounds analysis
└── Enforcement → Enforcement application + objections
Step 3: Output stage-specific guidance
- Time limits and deadlines for this stage
- Required documents
- Key legal risk warnings
- Strategic recommendations
Workflow B: Trial Defense & Cross-Examination
When the user needs to prepare for trial, needs defense strategy, or cross-examination plans:
Step 1: Identify trial type and role
├── Plaintiff/Prosecution: Claims + evidence presentation + cross-examination
├── Defendant/Defense: Defense + evidence + cross-examination
└── Third party / Appellant / Respondent: Role-specific strategy
Step 2: Generate trial plan based on role
Plaintiff/Prosecution:
- Core claims → evidence list → examination outline
- Anticipate defense counterarguments → prepare rebuttals
- Predict trial focus points → outline closing arguments
Defendant/Defense:
- Core defense position → cross-examination plan
- Analyze plaintiff's evidence on three dimensions (authenticity/legality/relevance)
- Prepare counter-evidence / corroborating evidence
General preparation:
- Questioning outlines (for opposing party/witnesses/experts)
- Legal authority index (compiled statutes)
- Comparable case research report (to persuade judge)
Step 3: Generate trial document package
└── See Legal Document Drafting and references/trial-practice.md
Workflow C: Legal Document Drafting
When the user needs to draft legal documents, select the template by document type:
| Document Type | Reference | Approach |
|---|---|---|
| Civil Complaint | references/legal-document-templates.md → Complaint | Extract case elements → Fill template → Verify legal basis |
| Civil Answer | references/legal-document-templates.md → Answer | Respond to complaint point by point |
| Appeal | references/legal-document-templates.md → Appeal | Note deadline + appeal request + facts & reasons |
| Retrial Petition | references/legal-document-templates.md → Retrial | 6-month deadline check + cite statutory retrial grounds |
| Representation/Defense Statement | references/legal-document-templates.md → Representation | Trial focus + factual argument + legal application |
| Enforcement Application | references/legal-document-templates.md → Enforcement | Final judgment + debtor's asset leads |
| Asset Preservation Application | references/legal-document-templates.md → Preservation | Security method + scope of preservation |
| Jurisdictional Objection | references/legal-document-templates.md → Jurisdiction | Jurisdiction rules + objection grounds |
| Evidence Investigation Application | references/legal-document-templates.md → Investigation | Evidence leads + application reasons |
| Enforcement Objection | references/legal-document-templates.md → Objection | Objection type analysis + statutory grounds |
| Cross-Examination Opinion | references/legal-document-templates.md → Cross-Examination | Three-dimensional evidence analysis |
| Legal Opinion | references/legal-document-templates.md → Legal Opinion | Facts → Legal analysis → Conclusion & recommendations |
General drafting rules:
- Collect essential case elements (party info, cause of action, facts, relief sought)
- Follow correct document format (court name, case number, requests, facts & reasons)
- Verify statute of limitations / appeal deadlines / application deadlines
- Cite precise legal provisions (full name + article number)
- Provide review checklist after draft completion
Workflow D: Arbitration Procedure Guidance
When the user needs arbitration procedure guidance or to draft arbitration documents:
Step 1: Identify arbitration type
├── Commercial arbitration (contracts / other commercial disputes)
├── Labor arbitration (mandatory pre-litigation procedure)
└── International arbitration (cross-border parties / international rules)
Step 2: Verify arbitration foundation
├── Is there a valid arbitration agreement?
├── Does the agreement specify a clear arbitration institution?
└── Is the dispute within the scope of arbitrable matters?
→ If no valid agreement, recommend litigation route
Step 3: Guide arbitration process
├── Application → Draft arbitration application materials
├── Tribunal formation → Select arbitrators / sole arbitrator
├── Hearing → Evidence + examination + written/oral hearing
├── Award → Award types / finality of award
└── Post-award remedies → Set aside / enforcement / non-enforcement
→ See references/arbitration.md
Step 4: Distinguish labor arbitration
├── Labor arbitration is a mandatory prerequisite to litigation
├── No arbitration agreement needed; apply directly to labor arbitration committee
├── 1-year statute of limitations
├── No fee
├── After award, if dissatisfied → sue in court within 15 days
└── See references/arbitration.md → Labor Arbitration section
Workflow E: Litigation Strategy Assessment
When the user needs to make a "litigation decision" assessment:
Step 1: Case facts review
├── Party information
├── Key timeline
├── Core legal facts
└── Existing evidence inventory
Step 2: Legal risk assessment
├── Win rate assessment (based on facts + law + comparable cases)
├── Cost-benefit analysis (court fees + attorney fees + time cost)
├── Enforcement risk assessment (counterparty's solvency)
└── Procedural risk assessment (statute of limitations / jurisdiction / evidence capacity)
Step 3: Strategic recommendations
├── Optimal plan (litigation / mediation / arbitration / negotiation)
├── Alternative plan
└── Risk warnings and mitigation

V. Important Notes
- All legal documents and strategic recommendations output by this skill are for reference only. Review by a licensed attorney is required before formal use.
- Verify all cited laws and regulations for the latest version — AI may not cover recent amendments.
- Litigation strategy is highly dependent on individual case details; tailor output to actual case circumstances.
- For substantive legal analysis of specific cases, consider coordinating with the
legal-seven-step-workflow-mctmilkskill. - Critical deadlines (appeal period, statute of limitations, evidence submission period) must be manually verified.
- This skill does not substitute for formal legal advice. For significant cases, retain a qualified attorney.
