court-deadline

court-deadline is a skill for Claude Code from protomated/protomated-plugins-official. It costs 77 tokens per session (1,384 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A calculation and calendar-drafting tool for court or filing deadlines. It applies a deadline rule that the attorney supplies to a trigger date, such as the date a complaint was served.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for response deadlines, appeal windows, and similar dates when you can provide the applicable rule and will verify the result independently.
Why use it?
It makes the date calculation visible for checking, while avoiding the assumption that it knows local court rules, holidays, or jurisdiction-specific deadlines.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

court-deadline scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

/court-deadline — Court Deadline Reasoning & Calendar Drafting Skill

⚠️ AI-ASSISTED DRAFT — ATTORNEY REVIEW REQUIRED This output was generated by an AI assistant. It computes from the rule you provide. It does not know your jurisdiction's rules and is not a substitute for your own verification, docketing software, or a certified legal calendar service. Do not rely on this output without independently confirming the applicable rule and the computed date. This is not legal advice.

Compute a court or filing deadline by applying a rule you supply to a trigger date. Shows every step of the reasoning so you can verify it. Drafts a Google Calendar event — you confirm before it is created.

HARD NOTE: This skill does not maintain a database of court rules, local rules, or jurisdiction-specific holiday calendars. You supply the rule. You verify the output. Missed deadlines are the leading cause of legal malpractice claims — always cross-check with your docketing software or certified deadline-calculation service before relying on any computed date.

Invocation

/court-deadline [trigger date] [rule in plain English]
/court-deadline "Complaint served May 12" "responsive pleading due 21 days after service, excluding weekends and federal holidays"

Workflow

Step 1 — Confirm the inputs

Ask the attorney to confirm or provide:

  1. Trigger date — the date the clock starts (e.g., date of service, filing date, incident date).
  2. The rule — in plain English, exactly as the attorney knows it (e.g., "21 calendar days after service," "30 days excluding weekends and state holidays," "within 2 years of the date of injury").
  3. Holiday calendar — which holidays to exclude, if any (federal holidays, state holidays, court-specific closures). If not specified, default to US federal holidays and note that assumption explicitly.
  4. Event name — what to call the calendar event (e.g., "DEADLINE: Answer or Responsive Pleading — Smith v. Jones").
  5. Matter reference — case name or matter folder, for the calendar event description.
