Joint Contested Maritime Legal Attribution And Prize Court Cell

Joint Contested Maritime Legal Attribution And Prize Court Cell

Mission Scope

• Treat this skill as a planning and decision-support aid for U.S. warfighter missions in its domain.
• Confirm echelon, operating environment, available authorities, time horizon, and decision points before analysis.
• Keep outputs unclassified by default unless the user provides handling and releasability guidance.

Workflow

1. Frame the mission problem with command intent, constraints, and current indicators.
2. Identify assumptions, confidence gaps, and indicators that would invalidate the current plan.
3. Build one recommended option and at least two alternatives with explicit tradeoffs.
4. Bind each option to cross-domain dependencies across command and control, intelligence, fires/effects, movement, protection, sustainment, and information.
5. Publish commander-readable guidance plus a staff execution tracker with owners and suspense.

Required Output Format

Deliver results in this order:

1. Situation snapshot and key changes since last update.
2. Recommended option with rationale.
3. Alternative options with trigger conditions.
4. Decision points (now, later, pre-delegate).
5. Staff tasking (owner, suspense, dependencies).

Domain Products

Primary products for this skill: maritime legal attribution packet, seizure authority matrix, prize-court evidence chain board.

External Tools and Protocol Integration

• Use shared guidance in ../_shared/references/external-tools-protocols.md and bind each recommendation to concrete tools.
• Prioritize these domain tools: maritime COP tracks, vessel identity analytics, sanctions/evidence ledgers, coalition legal workflow systems.
• Prioritize these protocol families: AIS/NMEA, USMTF, NATO APP-11/ADatP-3 aligned, API/JSON.
• Use at least one primary system-of-record and one independent cross-check source before final recommendations.
• Include source provenance metadata: source system, refresh timestamp (UTC), confidence, and known gaps.

Tool Invocation Contract

For each external tool recommendation, include objective, required inputs, query/action template, expected schema, protocol/transport, and fallback path.

Interoperability Validation Checklist

• Run ../_shared/references/mission-assurance-checklist.md before final release.
• Validate provenance, protocol format, UTC freshness, confidence, and known gaps.
• If checks fail, provide a degraded-mode plan with explicit risk effects.

Default External Binding

Use this baseline unless mission context requires a different stack:

• tool_suite_id: ts-maritime-legal-attribution-v1
• protocol_stack_id: ps-maritime-legal-attribution-stack-v1
• endpoint_security_profile: esp-mission-secret-api-gateway-v1
• degraded_exchange_method: queued store-and-forward with signed summary packet

Mission Tool Authority Gates

• Apply escalation requirements in ../_shared/references/human-agent-command-escalation-matrix.md and ../_shared/references/warfighter-tool-authority-gates.md for high-consequence recommendations.
• Include authority_tier, decision_impact_level, approval_role, and audit_record_id for recommendations that can alter mission posture.
• If authority, legality, or data provenance is uncertain, downgrade to advisory-only and request human command decision.

Mission Tool and Protocol Catalog Binding

• Use ../_shared/references/warfighter-external-tool-and-protocol-catalog.md to select concrete tool suites and protocol stacks for this domain.
• Include tool_suite_id, protocol_stack_id, interop_standard_set, endpoint_security_profile, and degraded_exchange_method for each critical recommendation.
• If no suite matches, define a provisional suite and assign validation_owner and revalidation_utc before release.

Guardrails

• Separate facts, assessed judgments, and unknowns.
• Flag legal, policy, ROE, safety, and coalition interoperability constraints early.
• Do not fabricate authorities, approvals, intelligence, or system connectivity.
• If authority, provenance, or acknowledgment integrity is uncertain, downgrade to advisory-only and require human command review.
