## What it does

The skill takes accumulated diligence findings and splits them across three audience tiers. A board or exec sponsor gets 3–5 material issues, price and structure impact, and the decisions waiting on them. The deal lead gets every red and yellow, progress, gaps and questions for management. The working team gets full detail on each finding.

Context comes from the practice `CLAUDE.md` and the deal's `deal-context.md`. When matter workspaces are enabled, the skill loads the active matter's `matter.md` and writes output into that matter's folder; with no active matter it asks which deal the brief belongs to. For recurring briefs it leads with the delta: what appeared, what resolved, how coverage moved. Movement matters more than state to a deal lead — two new yellows and three resolved beats twelve yellows unchanged.

The skill does not make the materiality call. It reports the calls made at extraction time. It does not decide what the team does about a finding either, only surfaces the decision. And it does not send the brief: it drafts, a human sends. Because the brief aggregates privileged findings and inherits their confidentiality status, check the distribution list against the privilege circle first — sending wider can waive it.

## When to use it
- compress hundreds of diligence findings into a few material issues
- produce separate briefs for leadership and the working team
- show what moved since the last brief, not just current state
- surface decision items with an owner and a deadline
- track document gaps and outstanding management questions

## Example prompts
- brief the deal team for leadership
- what's the state of diligence on this deal?
- summarize findings for the working team

# Deal Team Summary

## 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

The deal lead doesn't read 200 findings. They read: what's material, what changed since last brief, what needs a decision. This skill compresses the diligence output to the right level for the reader.

## Load context

- `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/corporate-legal/CLAUDE.md` → Deal team briefing (cadence, format, what the business reads)
- `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/corporate-legal/deals/[code]/deal-context.md` → deal lead, timeline
- Current findings from diligence-issue-extraction output

## Audience tiers

Per `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/corporate-legal/CLAUDE.md` — what the business reads vs. what's for the file. Default tiers:

| Audience | Gets | Doesn't get |
|---|---|---|
| **Board / exec sponsor** | Top 3-5 material issues, price/structure impact, decision items | Category detail, green findings, process |
| **Deal lead** | All reds, all yellows, progress, decision items, next steps | Green finding detail |
| **Working team** | Everything — full findings, status by category, gaps | Nothing withheld |

Ask which tier if not obvious.

## The summary

### Exec tier

[WORK-PRODUCT HEADER — per plugin config ## Outputs — differs by role; see `## Who's using this`]
