What it does
Build a client instruction schedule, a plain-English, Scott Schedule-style Word table that gathers a struggling client's evidence and instructions issue by issue, with a one-page covering note. Use whenever the user asks for a "client instruction schedule", "instruction schedule", "client questionnaire", "schedule of questions for the client", "get instructions from the client on the papers", or says the client is overwhelmed and needs the case broken into manageable questions. Also trigger when asked to turn case papers into a structured request for client input. Do NOT use for court-facing Scott Schedules, pleadings, witness statements, or advice letters, this skill produces a client-facing working document only. Output is always a .docx draft for solicitor review, never a final document.
Client Instruction Schedule
Purpose
Clients in document-heavy disputes often freeze when asked open-endedly for "their comments". This skill produces a client instruction schedule: a landscape Word table borrowing the discipline of a Scott Schedule, but written to the client in plain English, with one row per disputed issue and specific, mostly closed questions. It is paired with a short covering note telling the client how to complete it. Positions are sourced precisely to statements, letters and exhibit pages, so that a court-facing Scott Schedule can later be drafted from it far more easily (the client's plain-English answers will still need to be turned into pleaded positions, the schedule is a quarry, not a conversion).
Important limits
This skill drafts a working document for a solicitor to review, amend and approve. It does not give legal advice, it must not be sent to a client without human review, and every draft it produces carries a banner saying so. The solicitor remains responsible for the accuracy of every position, reference and question in the schedule. Four further limits apply:
