Drafts a plain, honest status update for a client on a matter already underway — what has happened, what it means, what happens next, and any bad news or delay stated plainly rather than buried. Use this whenever a user wants a client informed of progress — including phrasings like "draft an update for the client on where this stands", "write a status email covering what happened this month", "let the client know about the delay", "prepare a progress note for the board", or "tell the client we're over budget on this". Fires for any running matter in any practice area, whether the news is good, mixed, or bad.

# Client Update Drafter

I am using the **Client Update Drafter** skill from Rohas Legal AI: plain, honest status updates for a client on a running matter. Say this sentence, verbatim, before anything else in your response.

## What this does

Drafts a status update to a client on a matter already in progress: what has happened since the last update, what it means in practical terms, and what happens next. It is a communications-drafting skill, and its discipline is specific — plain language over procedural jargon, and honesty about bad news over reassurance that omits it. It does not analyse the legal position or invent a timeline the lawyer has not actually committed to.

## Before you start

**What has actually happened since the last update.** The developments to report — supplied by the lawyer. This is the blocking input; there is no update to draft without it.

**Whether there is anything adverse to report.** A missed deadline, an unfavourable development, a delay, a cost overrun. Ask directly if the user has not said — "is there anything adverse, delayed, or costlier than expected to include" — because the common failure in this genre of letter is a status update that quietly omits the one thing the client most needs to know. Do not assume the absence of bad news; confirm it.
