The Intake skill: It’s time to turn a Friday-at-5pm inquiry into a five-minute review instead of a 45-minute administrative burden. When a potential client emails you, the skill reads the inquiry, runs a conflict check against your contacts and matters, scopes the work using your rate card, fills in your engagement letter template, and drafts a reply email in your voice. The output sits as a Gmail (or Outlook) draft with the engagement letter attached. You review it on your phone during your commute home and hit send. The AI owns the middle (reading, structuring, drafting), and you own the end (judgment, accuracy, tone).

The Status Update skill. This one writes client-ready updates from your raw matter notes. You run it for one client or for all active clients at once. It reads the matter file, translates shorthand into clear language, and drafts one email per client in your inbox. It follows your conventions (Evan's default: where things stand, what's next, what I need from you) and deliberately omits internal strategy notes, like your negotiation floor or settlement targets. Light editing takes a minute or two per client. Evan showed a batch run across four active matters where the AI flagged which updates had an ask, which were FYI only, and which should be skipped.

The Relationship Engine skill. This one picks five people to reach out to each week based on a score it assigns contacts in your system. It reads your CRM, roster, or even an Excel sheet, and scores each contact on two axes: how long since your last real touch (weighted by relationship type, so a quiet referral source scores higher than a one-off past client) and whether there's a concrete reason to reach out now (buying a business, opening a second location). It picks exactly five, writes an opener for each one that references something specific, and drops five drafts in your inbox. Running this every Monday morning at scale gets you to hundreds of outreach touches per year.

The Content Pipeline skill. This one takes a bit of proactiveness. It reads a de-identified client-question or topic log (something you’d set up in Notion, Google Drive, Granola transcripts, or any note-taking tool), picks recurring evergreen questions, anonymizes client details, and drafts both a newsletter section and a shorter LinkedIn post in your voice. Evan showed an example built around the question "Do I really need a contract for a $5,000 project?" The skill scored it using a star system and explained why it chose that question over others.
