# Calculate Deadline

## Important
- Manual-only. NEVER guess deadlines — always read from `rules/deadlines.json`.
- Show calculation steps for special_calc rules.

## Instructions

### Step 0: Resolve Matter

### Step 1: Parse Event
Get event-type and event-date from arguments.
If not provided: "What event triggered this deadline? (e.g., insurer_decision, date_of_injury, conciliation_outcome) And what date did it occur?"

### Step 2: Calculate
Read `matter.json` and `rules/deadlines.json`. Find matching rule for claim type + event type.
If no match: "No deadline rule found for '{event_type}' on {claim_type} claims."
For `special_calc` rules: show calculation steps, ask Mandy to confirm.

### Step 3: Present
```
DEADLINE: {name}
TRIGGER: {event} on {date}
DUE DATE: {calculated} ({days} remaining)
LEGISLATIVE BASIS: {act} {section}
CONSEQUENCE: {what happens if missed}
```
If already passed: ALERT prominently with ⚠️.

### Step 4: Update and Commit
Add/update `matter.json` deadlines array. Update index. Offer Outlook calendar push if MCP available. Log and commit. Proactive check.
