From the source SKILL.md

This skill carries the conventions, forms, and procedural pitfalls specific to self-represented (pro se) civil litigants in Indiana trial courts. Apply it whenever the filer is not represented by counsel — whether plaintiff or defendant — and the document is being prepared for filing in a Circuit Court, Superior Court, County Court, or township small-claims court.

What this skill does

In Pro Se is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the legal-compliance sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/in-pro-se/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
