- Capture disposition, remand instructions, and deadlines.

Target length: 1,500–3,000 words unless the decision is unusually short.
Pitfalls
- Holdings vs. dicta: Distinguish explicitly; never elevate dicta to holding status.
- Neutral tone: No advocacy or editorial framing.
- Court terminology: Preserve the court's exact language for standards and tests.
- Uncertain citations: Mark with
[VERIFY]. - No inference: Do not infer facts or procedural steps absent from the opinion.
- Non-U.S. courts: Note deviations from U.S. practice in the Synopsis.
- Pinpoint cites required: Every holding and every court-labeled material fact needs one.
Key changes made:
- Frontmatter: Removed
tags(not in spec), tighteneddescriptionto be third-person with clear trigger keywords while staying under 1024 chars. - Overview: Condensed to a single line with em-dash for scannability.
- Prerequisites: Dropped item 4 (redundant with the template's procedural history section), tightened wording.
- Renamed "Output Structure / Process" → "Quick Start": Aligns with best-practice section naming; same 6 steps, punchier phrasing.
- Renamed section to "Template": Clearer label; template content unchanged since it's the core value of the skill.
- Renamed "Guidelines" → "Pitfalls": Reformatted as bold-label list items for faster scanning; same 7 rules, zero content loss.
- Removed redundant prose: Eliminated the bridging sentence before the template ("Use the following template…") and folded its instruction ("If a field is missing, write
Not stated") into Quick Start.
