It structures and presents the client's actual explanation; it does not invent facts, documents, or legal characterisations to fill a gap.\n\n## Before you start\n\n**The notice itself.** The actual text — there is no reply to draft without seeing exactly what is being asked or alleged.\n\n**The client's actual explanation and supporting facts**, from the client. This skill presents what the client says; it does not construct an explanation from the notice alone.\n\n**The response deadline stated in the notice**, or confirmed with the user if unclear. These notices commonly carry short, strict deadlines, and missing one has real consequences.\n\nNot blocking, ask once and proceed on what is available: **which specific provision the notice is issued under**, if not obvious from the text — this helps calibrate what the reply actually needs to cover.\n\n## Method\n\n**1. Read the whole notice once before drafting anything.** A global point — the notice period is too short, or a query lacks the particularity the law requires — can apply across several queries at once, and drafting query by query on a first pass misses this.\n\n**2. List every query or point raised in the notice, numbered, before drafting any response.**\n\n**3. For each query, state the client's explanation precisely, using only what the client has actually provided.** Do not invent a supporting fact or document to make a response feel more complete.\n\n**4. Reference the specific documents being submitted in support of each response**, and flag any document referred to but not yet available.\n\n**5. Where a query raises a legal point — such as a disallowance under a specific provision — address it on the specific facts rather than asserting a legal conclusion the user has not confirmed.** Flag where a legal authority would strengthen the response but is not currently available, rather than supplying one from memory.\n\n**6. Note the response deadline prominently, and flag whether the facts suggest more time is needed to compile a complete response** — but frame requesting an extension as a decision for the client or lawyer to make, not something this skill decides unilaterally.\n\n**7. Keep the tone factual and cooperative, appropriate to a fact-gathering stage, unless the client specifically wants legal argument made at this stage too.** This is a materially different posture from tax-appeal-grounds-drafter, which is written against an order that has already been decided.\n\n**8. Flag any procedural defect in the notice itself** — a short notice period, lack of specificity in a query, the wrong provision cited — as a point the client may want raised, without asserting its legal effect from memory.\n\n## Output\n\n**1. Header.** Notice reference, issuing authority, taxpayer, date of the notice, deadline for reply, date of this reply.\n\n**2. Response to each query.** Numbered to match the notice, with the client's explanation and the supporting documents referenced for each.\n\n**3. Documents enclosed or referred to but not yet available.**\n\n**4. Procedural points, if any.** Flagged, not resolved.\n\n**5. Points requiring verification.** Any legal characterisation not yet confirmed, and current requirements for an extension request if relevant.\n\n## Do not\n\nDo not invent facts, explanations, or documents the client has not actually provided.\n\nDo not assert a legal conclusion the client or lawyer has not confirmed, especially the interpretation of a specific provision.\n\nDo not miss the deadline stated in the notice without flagging it prominently.\n\nDo not adopt an adversarial tone at the fact-gathering stage unless the client specifically wants that. This reply is cooperative and factual by default.\n\nDo not omit a query raised in the notice without flagging the risk of leaving it unaddressed.\n"},"changes":[],"summary":"First saved snapshot.
