## What it does

This skill turns matter context and a house template into a structured legal-notice draft. It covers issue, refresh, and release cases, then separates recipient details, the core preservation duty, scope, systems and locations, prohibitions, operational boundaries, and sign-off details. Scope changes and release instructions get their own treatment.

The deliverable is a `.K2F` package. The workflow first creates `content_and_design.md`; the `k2f` skill then builds the semantic tree, runs pack/verify, and exports a review-ready format. Install the core skill first with `npx skills add suzheng/k2f --skill k2f`.

The blueprint must rely on supplied matter facts: it should not invent jurisdiction, custodians, systems, legal citations, or acknowledgment URLs. Counsel review is required before distribution, and sending a notice to custodians needs explicit user or counsel approval.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add suzheng/k2f --skill k2f-legal-notice -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/k2f-legal-notice/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/k2f-legal-notice/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add suzheng/k2f --skill k2f-legal-notice -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/k2f-legal-notice/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add suzheng/k2f --skill k2f-legal-notice -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/k2f-legal-notice/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

```bash
npx skills add suzheng/k2f --skill k2f-legal-notice -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/suzheng/k2f/tree/HEAD/skills/legal/k2f-legal-notice/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- draft a litigation hold for named custodians
- refresh scope after systems or custodian changes
- release a hold with post-release retention guidance
- separate preservation scope from storage locations
- prepare a notice for attorney review

## Example prompts
- Draft a litigation hold from this matter context and our house template.
- Create a refresh notice and show the changes to scope and custodians.
- Build a release notice as a `.K2F` package, verify it, and export it for counsel review.

name: k2f-legal-notice
description: Draft formal legal notices—litigation holds (issue, refresh, release), preservation letters, and counsel-directed custodian communications—from matter context and house templates. Use when the user asks for a legal notice, litigation hold notice, preservation notice, hold refresh, or hold release. Create legal notices with AI-native design and the highest aesthetic standards, powered by the K2F format and engine. Purpose-built for AI agents, K2F lets them focus on semantic content and design intent while automatically handling layout, typography, and formatting complexity.

# K2F Legal Notice — AI-Native Aesthetic Design

## Purpose

Teach agents to blueprint **legal notices** before layout: notice type, recipient-facing obligations, scannable scope and systems blocks, and formal hierarchy—without inventing jurisdiction, custodians, scope, or privilege markings the user or counsel did not supply.

## Built on K2F

This skill produces legal notices as `.K2F` packages. Follow the **k2f** skill for authoring: unpack or init a workspace, edit the semantic tree, run pack/verify, then export. K2F keeps agents on *meaning* (notice role, sections, emphasis)—not pixel coordinates—while the engine compiles layout, typography, and theme into consistent export-ready output.

Before you build, install the core skill: `npx skills add suzheng/k2f --skill k2f`.

## When to Use

- First issuance of a litigation or preservation hold to named custodians.
- Periodic reaffirmation (refresh) when scope, systems, or custodians changed.
- Release when counsel confirms preservation may end.
- Reformatting draft hold language into a consistent, institution-grade notice for attorney review.

## Workflow

### Step 1. Generate the content_and_design.md

Single blueprint for semantic content and aesthetic intent. Label blocks the **k2f** skill can map to sections and emphasis later.

**Sub-steps**

1. **Notice frame** — Classify **issue**, **refresh**, or **release**. State effective date, matter short name, issuing entity, and signer (from user or house style). For refresh, anchor to original issue date; for release, state end date and post-release retention instruction (user-sourced). Flag forum/jurisdiction only if user provided—do not invent preservation triggers or sanctions rules.

2. **Routing block** — Date, To (custodian or role), From (authorized signer), Re line (`LITIGATION HOLD NOTICE — [matter]` or release equivalent). Record intended **privilege / confidentiality marking** as `USER OR COUNSEL TO CONFIRM`—external custodian notices often differ from internal work-product headers.

3. **Why this recipient** — One plain sentence: why they are on the notice (role, project, data access). Avoid prejudicial narrative, admissions, or strategy; enough context to understand relevance.
