Draft interrogatories, requests for production (RFPs), and requests for admission (RFAs) tailored to specific case types.

Draft interrogatories, requests for production (RFPs), and requests for admission (RFAs) tailored to specific case types. Generate objection responses with proper specific objection bases. Analyze proportionality under FRCP 26(b)(1), assert privilege, and advise on document preservation obligations. Use when drafting initial discovery packages, responding to discovery requests, building case-type templates for commercial, employment, IP, or personal injury litigation, or preparing for meet-and-confer on discovery disputes. Covers US federal practice (FRCP 26-37) and state-level variants with [JURISDICTION-SPECIFIC] markers. Supports both propounding side (drafting requests) and responding side (drafting objections and responses).

This skill drafts and evaluates civil discovery requests across three formal channels — interrogatories, requests for production (RFPs), and requests for admission (RFAs) — and generates substantive objection responses. It operates for both propounding parties (those sending discovery) and responding parties (those answering or objecting). **Covers:** - Drafting interrogatories, RFPs, and RFAs calibrated to case type and litigation stage - Generating objection responses with specific, rule-compliant bases under FRCP 26-37 - Conducting proportionality analysis under FRCP 26(b)(1) (six-factor test) - Asserting attorney-client privilege, work-product doctrine, and common-interest privilege - ESI discovery guidance: custodian identification, format specifications, preservation - Case-type templates: commercial disputes, employment, IP, and personal injury - Privilege log format and claw-back agreement structure (FRE 502) - Meet-and-confer script generation for discovery disputes - Anticipating objections and drafting fallback (narrowed) versions of each request **Does not:** - Cover criminal discovery (Brady, Jencks Act, state equivalents) - Replace experienced litigators' strategic judgment on discovery scope and timing - Constitute an expert opinion on discoverability in any specific jurisdiction - Draft depositions or subpoenas (see separate skills) - Handle international discovery (Hague Evidence Convention, GDPR cross-border constraints) **Related skills:** `legalcode-privilege-review` (deep privilege analysis), `legalcode-early-case-assessment` (overall discovery budget and risk), `legalcode-case-timeline-builder` (preservation ...
