What it does
What's blocking close, maintain the closing checklist with status, critical path, and days to close. Self-updating: ingests new items from diligence findings and schedule builds, tracks status, surfaces what's blocking. Use when user says "closing checklist", "what's left to close", "checklist status", "add to the checklist", or on a scheduled status pull.
/closing-checklist
- Read
~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/corporate-legal/deals/[code]/closing-checklist.yamland use the modes below. - If status update provided: Mode 3 (update item).
- Otherwise Mode 4: blocking items, critical path, days to close.
Matter context
Matter context. Check ## Matter workspaces in the practice-level CLAUDE.md. If Enabled is ✗ (the default for in-house users), skip the rest of this paragraph, skills use practice-level context and the matter machinery is invisible. If enabled and there is no active matter, ask: "Which matter is this for? Run /corporate-legal:matter-workspace switch <slug> or say practice-level." Load the active matter's matter.md for matter-specific context and overrides. Write outputs to the matter folder at ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/corporate-legal/matters/<matter-slug>/. Never read another matter's files unless Cross-matter context is on.
Purpose
Deals close when the checklist is done. Everything on it, done. Nothing missing. This skill maintains the list, ingests new items as they surface from diligence, and tells the team what's blocking.
