Small-Claims Prep

Q: How do I know the Small-Claims Prep output is good?

The skill verifies itself against its own quality checks: A final demand letter precedes any filing; The amount is stated with how it was calculated; Evidence is organized as a labeled timeline; The defendant's correct legal name/address is flagged as critical.

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.

🗣 Say this to your agent

“A contractor took my deposit and vanished — I want to take them to small claims.”“Client owes me $1,800 and won't pay. Help me prepare a case.”“Write me a final demand letter before I sue in small claims.”“My landlord kept my deposit unfairly — how do I file?”“What evidence do I need and what do I say at the hearing?”

What to give it

▸The dispute — what happened, who the other party is (exact legal name/address), and when

▸The amount — what you're claiming and how you calculated it

▸The basis — unpaid invoice, broken contract, property damage, withheld deposit, defective goods/service

▸Your evidence — what you have (agreements, messages, photos, receipts) and any gaps

▸Where — your location/jurisdiction (drives the claim limit, fees, and process — to verify)

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

✓A final demand letter precedes any filing

✓The amount is stated with how it was calculated

✓Evidence is organized as a labeled timeline

✓The defendant's correct legal name/address is flagged as critical

✓Jurisdiction specifics (limit, fees, forms) are marked "verify locally," not asserted

✓A calm, factual hearing script is included

✓The "not legal advice" boundary is stated

⚠️ What it refuses to do

**Filing before demanding** — skipping the letter that often settles it.

**A grievance instead of a number** — no clear amount or calculation.

**Disorganized evidence** — a pile, not a timeline.

**Wrong defendant details** — suing a trading name instead of the legal entity.

**Asserting the claim limit or fees** as fixed instead of "verify locally."
