Draft and format pleadings, declarations, motions, notes for motion docket, and proposed orders for Washington courts across the full civil-practice surface. Applies GR 14 formatting; provides dedicated venue skills for King County District Court, King County Superior Court, Pierce County Superior Court (Tacoma), Snohomish County Superior Court (Everett), Spokane County Superior Court, the Superior Court Family Law Department (wa-family-court), and a roll-up for the rest of the state's most-populous counties. Architected as matter-neutral civil-procedure skills (civil rules, evidence rules, fees and costs, local rules, citation format, online sources, discovery, first-30-days response, hearings, filing packets, post-judgment, fact-checking, deadlines, drafting scaffolders) plus six subject-matter bundles: wa-consumer-debt (FDCPA, Reg F, RCW 19.16, Washington CPA, chain of title), wa-family-law (Washington's community-property regime + RCW Title 26 dissolution / parenting / child support framework + the 2022 consolidated RCW 7.105 civil-protection-order regime), wa-landlord-tenant (RCW 59.18 RLTA + the 2019 SB 5600 statutorily-mandated-form pay-or-vacate notice + the 2021 SB 5160 just-cause framework + HB 1815 statewide tenant Right to Counsel + ERP), wa-personal-injury (RCW 4.22 pure-comparative-fault + several-liability post-1986 Reform Act + WPLA at RCW 7.72 + medical malpractice at RCW 7.70 + Notice of Tort Claim under RCW 4.92 / 4.96), wa-employment (Minimum Wage Act + WLAD at RCW 49.60 + PFML under RCW Title 50A + non-compete reform at RCW 49.62 + L&I-exclusive workers' comp at RCW 51), and wa-commercial-disputes (Washington CPA at RCW 19.86 with the Hangman Ridge 5-element test + WBCA at RCW 23B + LLC Act at RCW 25.15 + UCC at RCW 62A + MAR under RCW 7.06), plus matter-neutral wa-cpa (the general Consumer Protection Act / UDAP framework at RCW 19.86 — the five Hangman Ridge elements, the unfair-vs-deceptive Klem standard, the codified public-interest factors at RCW 19.86.093, per se pathways, treble damages capped at $25,000, and mandatory attorney fees — that the subject bundles compose with) and a focused wa-cema skill for the Commercial Electronic Mail Act (RCW 19.190) — Washington's anti-spam statute construed by Brown v. Old Navy (Wash. 2025) to bar any false or misleading commercial-email subject line, a per se Consumer Protection Act violation carrying $500 statutory damages. The plugin follows a **thin-skill architecture**: SKILL.md bodies describe procedural frameworks and point at the references corpus for current statutory text, dollar thresholds, day counts, and section subsections rather than embedding them. Reference corpora include 35 court-rule sets covering 1,233+ rules and 93 RCW chapters covering 3,266+ sections, plus the shared federal-debt-laws and ucc-model content via the claude-legal-federal-laws dependency. All workflows are skills (no slash commands) so the agent invokes them automatically from natural-language requests.

Architected as matter-neutral civil-procedure skills (ORCP civil rules, OEC evidence rules, ORS 20 fees and costs, local SLR rules, citation format per the Oregon Appellate Courts Style Manual, online sources, discovery, first-30-days response, hearings, filing packets, post-judgment, fact-checking, deadlines under ORCP 10 + ORS 187.010 holidays) plus subject-matter bundles that plug into the procedural skills. The first subject-matter bundle, or-consumer-debt, covers FDCPA, Reg F, ORS 697 (Collection Agency Registration), the Oregon Unlawful Trade Practices Act (UTPA, ORS 646.605 et seq.), chain-of-title doctrine, fact-pattern triage, and synthetic example filings for debt-buyer defense.

All workflows are skills (no slash commands) so the agent invokes them automatically from natural-language requests.

R. evidence rules, fees and costs, local rules, citation format per the Indiana Citation Manual) plus subject-matter bundles.

Follows a thin-skill architecture: SKILL.md bodies describe procedural frameworks and point at the references corpus for current statutory text, dollar thresholds, day counts, and section subsections rather than embedding them. All workflows are skills (no slash commands) so the agent invokes them automatically from natural-language requests.
