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: identify IP assets, license obligations, and assignment gaps.
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
