Deadline Calculator
Rule-based deadline drafts with citations and reminders
Input a trigger event, jurisdiction, and rule source. Get a draft deadline chain with business-day handling, holiday adjustments, service-method offsets, and an audit trail you can review before anything is calendared.
INGREDIENTS
PROMPT
Create a skill called "Deadline Calculator" for a lawyer. When I provide a trigger event, a jurisdiction or court, and a deadline type, build a draft deadline analysis. Use the rule text, court rule link, standing order, or checklist I provide, or find the official court source when I ask you to. Show each calculated deadline with the rule citation, assumptions made, and step-by-step calculation. Distinguish calendar days from business days, account for weekends and holidays, and note service-method offsets or extensions. If the rule source is unclear or conflicts with another source, stop and flag it for review instead of guessing. Only create calendar events and reminders after I approve the draft dates.
How It Works
Court deadline calculation is rule-based but deceptively complex. This skill
builds a draft deadline analysis from the rule text, checklist, or official
court source you provide (or approve), then shows its work so you can review
before relying on it.
