lawvable/awesome-legal-skills

Tribunal-prep skill modeled on Neal Katyal's Nov 2025 SCOTUS tariffs argument and his AI sparring partner "Harvey." Five phases: (1) profile each decision-maker from prior opinions, questions, concurrences, and dissents — surface their doctrinal commitments and institutional concerns; (2) predict the bench — 3–7 likely questions per judge with the worry behind each, verbatim phrasing where confidence is high; (3) map escape routes — the narrowest holding each skeptical judge could sign without abandoning prior commitments; (4) spar adversarially — relentless follow-ups, calls out parroted lines, tracks which questions broke the lawyer; (5) hand the lawyer back to themselves with a < 150-word index card for the podium. The model is the sparring partner. The lawyer still wins the case. Use for oral argument, motion hearings, depositions, arbitrations, or stress-testing a brief before filing.
