I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
One missed deadline ends a career. caseclaw makes sure it never happens. Missed deadlines cause more malpractice suits than bad legal advice. Conflicts of interest are a close second. And every attorney has lost thousands in billable hours they forgot to log. caseclaw is the command center that sits in your terminal and guards against all three—silently, ruthlessly, around the clock. Point it at a matter and it auto-calculates every filing deadline from 600+ court rule sets. Throw a new client name at it and it checks conflicts against your entire case history in under a second. Start typing and it's already timing your work in six-minute increments. No browser tabs. No clunky SaaS dashboards. No $500/seat enterprise contracts. Just one command and the peace of mind that nothing is slipping through. Who it's for: Solo attorneys drowning in deadlines, small-firm litigators juggling 40+ matters, paralegals who hold everything together, and in-house teams that need audit-proof tracking. What it replaces: The spreadsheet you swore you'd update, the calendar reminder that got buried, and the sinking feeling at 11 PM that you forgot to file something.
