Steps

Step 0: Confirm Context

Ask the user for any missing context needed to produce a useful output:

• Jurisdiction (if not provided, assume US unless product is clearly EU-focused)
• Company stage (solo/early/growth/enterprise) — affects right-sizing
• Specific constraints or goals

If the request is clear, skip questions and proceed.

Step 1: Gather Context

Recon: scan existing contracts for common risk patterns.

Read relevant existing documents from the project if available. Use WebSearch/WebFetch for current regulatory guidance if needed.

Step 2: Produce Output

Produce the requested artifact:

• Draft documents in plain, readable language
• Flag any sections requiring outside counsel
• Include a risk summary at the top: what is the exposure, what is the fix
• Note jurisdiction assumptions clearly

Step 3: Summary

Output a brief summary:

• What was produced

• Key risks or open questions

• Recommended next steps (including when to involve a real lawyer)

• Follow the output format defined in docs/output-kit.md
