What it does

The Termijnen-Checklist skill transforms raw case data, court orders, and summons documents into a structured, chronological deadline overview. It specifically calculates procedural deadlines such as appeal windows, submission calendars, and statutes of limitations. Unlike a simple calculation, it provides a transparent "reasoning chain" for every date, explicitly showing the legal basis, start point, and duration.

Why use this skill

Calculating legal deadlines is high-stakes and prone to human error. This skill is better than manual prompting because it follows a strict protocol for "conservative calculation." It automatically flags potential weekends or holidays, identifies uncertainties between service and notification dates, and handles complex scenarios like foreign party extensions or statute of limitation tolling. It forces a "double-check" workflow that is critical for attorney liability management.

Output Format

The skill produces a structured table containing:

• Deadline Type: (e.g., Higher Appeal, Statement of Defense)
• Basis: The specific legal article or court order
• Calculation Path: Step-by-step logic (e.g., 15/05 + 1 month = 15/06)
• Status Flags: Clear indicators for URGENT (under 14 days) or EXPIRED dates
• Verification Checklist: A closing section for the attorney to validate the output against the physical file.
