[DEPRECATED] Plain-Language Letters → see `/client-letter` and `/status client`

This skill was split during the v2 rebuild:

  • **Routine correspondence** (appointment confirms, document requests, brief

"we filed it" updates) → `skills/client-letter/` — use `/client-letter [type]`

  • **Substantive client status updates** → `skills/status/` in client-facing

mode — use `/status client`

Both apply the plain-language standards (reading level, no jargon) from CLAUDE.md.
