Operate Legal AI Agents

Runs checklists for legal and vertical AI agents — artifact-first UX, tabular review, skills at work nodes, verifier's-rule task mapping, guardrails, decision logs, and human control vs trust. Use when building law-firm agents, contract workflows, Legora-style workspaces, or escaping chat-only legal copilots.

Operate legal AI agents

Action playbook from Jacob Lauritzen (Legora) at AI Engineer. Do not summarize the talk — pick a workflow and execute it.

├─ Encode firm judgment (skills + guardrails)    → D
├─ Run multi-doc review (tabular pattern)        → E
