cease-desist

Draft a cease-and-desist letter (send mode) or triage one you received (receive mode). Use when asserting your rights against an infringer with a demand letter calibrated to your enforcement posture, or when an incoming C&D needs triage into a structured options memo with a recommendation.

Quality

Content

77%Weight 40%Scale 1-3

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

This is a highly actionable, well-sequenced legal skill with strong validation checkpoints and concrete templates, though it is a verbose monolith that repeats some concepts and keeps large blocks inline that could live in separate reference files.

Suggestions

Consolidate the territorial-rights / jurisdiction point into a single section — it currently appears in Notes, Jurisdiction assumption, Step 5, and the body — and trim the Purpose preamble that explains declaratory-judgment risk a competent model already grasps.

Move the verbatim loud-gate box, the full triage-memo markdown template, and the role-based privilege-inheritance blocks into one-level-deep reference files (e.g. GATE.md, TRIAGE_TEMPLATE.md) signaled from the body to improve progressive disclosure.

Tighten the Decision posture section, which largely restates cautions already enforced by Step 5.5 diligence and the Step 7 gate, to reduce redundancy.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The bulk is novel, actionable specialization rather than concepts Claude already knows, but the Purpose section explains declaratory-judgment risk, the territorial-rights concept is stated four times (Notes, Jurisdiction assumption, Step 5, and the body), and the Decision posture section restates the gate's caution — so it could be tightened, matching the score-2 'mostly efficient but could be tightened' anchor rather than the lean score-3 anchor.

2 / 3

Actionability

Concrete dispatch logic on $ARGUMENTS, exact config and matter-folder paths, a 13-element draft structure, named marketplace takedown programs, a verbatim gate box, named case citations, and a full triage-memo template make the guidance specific and copy-paste ready, matching the score-3 anchor; the [CITE] placeholders are explicitly justified by the verification rule.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

Both modes are sequenced as numbered steps with explicit validation checkpoints (Step 5.5 'REQUIRED PRECONDITION', the loud gate, the post-send checklist) and feedback loops for the destructive document-assertion operation, matching the score-3 anchor for clear sequence with explicit validation and error-recovery.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

No bundle reference files exist and the skill is a ~500-line monolith with the verbatim gate box, the full triage memo template, and the privilege-inheritance block all inline; sections are well-organized and external config references are clearly signaled by path, but content that could be split is inline, matching the score-2 rather than the split-and-signaled score-3 anchor.

Description

100%Weight 40%Scale 1-3

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

The description is a strong, third-person statement that covers concrete actions, natural trigger terms, explicit what-and-when guidance, and a distinct niche. It cleanly matches the top anchor on every dimension with no fluff or over-claims.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions — 'Draft a cease-and-desist letter (send mode)', 'triage one you received (receive mode)', 'demand letter calibrated to your enforcement posture', 'triage into a structured options memo with a recommendation' — matching the score-3 anchor for multiple specific concrete actions.

3 / 3

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what ('Draft a cease-and-desist letter' / 'triage one you received') and when ('Use when asserting your rights against an infringer' / 'or when an incoming C&D needs triage'), matching the score-3 anchor with an explicit 'Use when' clause.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Natural user-facing terms — 'cease-and-desist letter', 'C&D', 'infringer', 'demand letter', 'enforcement posture' — give good coverage of phrasing a user would actually say, matching the score-3 anchor.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The C&D send/receive niche with posture calibration and options-memo output is a clear, distinct trigger set unlikely to fire for other skills, matching the score-3 anchor.
