Legal industry workflows
Instructions
Use this skill to convert a recurring legal task into a repeatable workflow that:
- Collects context once via a short setup interview.
- Runs a structured task checklist (draft/redline/triage/etc.).
- Produces a verifiable work product with citations to authoritative sources and an explicit escalation path.
Setup interview (required)
Ask the user for the items in templates/setup-interview.md, then confirm:
- What you will do and what you will not do.
- The risk calibration and when to escalate.
- The preferred deliverable format (email, memo, redline notes, checklist).
Work product requirements
Follow the “trusted legal work product” style in output-styles/trusted-legal-work-product.md.
