## What it does

This skill originated in the `claude-for-legal` repository, but version 2 folded it directly into `draft`. It remains in the project solely as a redirect for migration.

The `/draft` command now handles initial clinic document drafting and form population. It supports practice-area templates with jurisdiction-aware formatting, covering asylum applications, eviction answers, and protective order petitions.

Because `user-invocable` is set to `false`, calling this skill directly fails. Switch directly to `/draft [document type]`.

# [DEPRECATED] Form Generation → see `/draft`

This skill was folded into `skills/draft/` during the v2 rebuild. The `/draft`
command handles first-draft generation for all clinic documents including form
population (asylum applications, eviction answers, protective order petitions,
etc.) with practice-area templates and jurisdiction-aware formatting.

**Use `/draft [document type]` instead.**

See `skills/draft/SKILL.md` for the full workflow.
