From the source SKILL.md

A demand letter is simultaneously a settlement instrument and a future exhibit. A defective letter can contain admissions, unsupported claims, or ethics violations — and where statutory pre-suit notice is required (TX DTPA 60-day, MA Ch. 93A 30-day, FL med-mal, CLRA, FDCPA, construction defect), defects can waive claims entirely. This skill produces letters where every assertion is sourced, every theory verified or flagged, damages are quantified with methodology, and tone is calibrated for judicial review.
