signing-closing

What it does

The skill is a workflow and content framework for producing a draft plan under StaRUG and insolvency law. It directs the agent to identify deal context (role, deadlines, outputs), verify core norms and sources, collect documents and evidence, separate deal structure from closing obligations, and produce structured outputs such as a Mandantenvermerk, Issue List, Information Request, Drafting-Anschluss, and Matter-Update. It emphasizes live verification of norms, explicit sourcing, and a risk-driven, decision-oriented drafting process related to stress-tested corporate restructurings and distressed M&A within the Mittelstand context.

How it works

• Determine deal context: establish role, phase, transaction structure, target, decision recipient; if missing, prompt with a single clarifying question; proceed with assumptions only when under deadline using [Annahme - prüfen].
• Inventory sources: list all documents with date, version, source, data room ID, confidentiality; tag uploads as [Mandant], public registers as [Register], primary sources as [Primärquelle], and model knowledge as [Modellwissen - prüfen].
• Map stakeholders and decision rights: assess whether shareholders, management, family, banks, advisors, or board influence decisions; treat informal agreements as risk, not legal basis.
• Set materiality threshold: use a pragmatic traffic light (Dealbreaker, price/freedom-from-encumbrance, closing condition, disclosure-only, housekeeping).
• Norms check: apply relevant groups (Insolvency Refs, StaRUG references, corporate, tax) to the specific step; ensure sources are verifiable and cite sources live; avoid model-based citations.
• Build evidentiary chain: every key assertion must have a source, document, location, and uncertainty marker; if unavailable, mark [zu verifizieren].
• Risikomatrix: present each point with facts, legal question, norm, subsumption, risk level, financial impact, recommended action, owner, deadline, and follow-on skill.
• Output gating: deliver Draft or Information-Request or Mandantenmemo if facts are insufficient.
• Handoff and closure: translate findings into data-room Q&A, SPA markup, CP-tracker, client email, or notary checklist; reference the subsequent skill for signing/closing conditions.
• Final check: ensure no unchecked citations, no model-only quotes, and no external communications.

When to use it

Use when StaRUG and insolvency plan issues arise in Mittelstand corporate/M&A, for example buyer/seller/target perspectives; for client memos with risks, open points, and to-dos. If mandate setup or deal phase decisions are unclear, switch to the command center skill paths.

What it can touch

• Tools: claude-code is declared. The workflow requires sourcing documents, norms, and producing structured outputs as text with explicit citations. The skill expects live access to legal norms and case law sources and uses internal tags for sources like [Mandant], [Register], [BGH-Datenbank], [dejure.org], [EUR-Lex], etc.

Caveats

• The skill only instructs drafting and structural analysis; it does not finalize partner decisions, nor perform external communications or definitive legal conclusions without specialist review. It requires verification of norms and sources and avoids model-based blind citations. It handles confidential data within need-to-know constraints and marks sensitive information for clean-room handling.
