Documentation

README

Excerpt

/chronology

Run the CPR 31.22 implied-undertaking check before extracting from disclosed documents.
Identify sources: user-provided paths, matter folder, declared sources.
Extract dated events, de-duplicate against sources, tag significance per case theory.
Output a working chronology by default; Statement-of-Facts or witness-specific variants on request.

Chronology — UK civil litigation

CPR 31.22 implied-undertaking check

The host workspace enforces the hard gate (matter-slug match against the proceedings reference, privilege posture). If this skill is running, that gate has already passed — this check does not replace it. The skill still performs its own check below and refuses or flags if misuse is indicated; it is not the enforcement.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
