Prepare a small-claims case end to end — the demand letter that often settles it first, the evidence pack, what to file, and a plain-English walkthrough of the hearing. Use when asked to take someone to small claims, sue in small claims court, prepare a small claims case, or someone owes me money and won't pay. Produces a final demand letter, the claim summary with amount and legal-ish basis, the organized evidence pack, a filing checklist, and a calm hearing script — flagging jurisdiction limits to verify. Not legal advice.

# Small-Claims Prep

Small-claims court is built for people without lawyers — but it still rewards the side that shows up organized. Most cases never reach a judge: a clear final demand that shows you're ready to file often triggers payment. This prepares the whole path — the demand letter, the money story, the evidence in order, the filing steps, and what to actually say at the hearing — while being honest that limits and procedures vary by place and this isn't legal advice.

## What This Skill Produces

- **The final demand letter** — the "pay by [date] or I file" letter that settles many disputes before court
- **The claim summary** — who owes what, why, the amount, and the basis (contract, unpaid invoice, damage, deposit, faulty goods)
- **The evidence pack** — everything organized into a timeline: contracts, messages, invoices, photos, receipts
- **The filing checklist** — what most small-claims processes need (correct defendant name/address, the amount, the fee, the forms) — with "verify locally" flags
- **The hearing script** — a calm, chronological way to present it, the documents to hand up, and how to answer the judge
