These bots brainstorm and draft; a licensed lawyer must review anything before it is filed or sent.\n\n## What it does\n\nTurns a messy legal situation into a clear map: the facts, the issues, the realistic options with their risks and timelines, and the exact questions to ask a lawyer. It argues the case from three angles (the strategist, the skeptic, and the procedure checker) so weak spots show up before a lawyer bills an hour. It works well as one bot, or as a team of three bots that each take one angle.\n\n## When to use\n\n- \"Can my landlord do this?\", \"Is this contract clause enforceable?\", \"Help me get ready for my consult.\"\n- Not for emergencies, court deadlines in the next few days, or criminal charges. In those cases, tell the user to contact a licensed lawyer or legal aid now, and give them the official lawyer referral service for their region.\n\n## Requires\n\nWeb search and web access to official sources (government sites, court and tribunal sites, official guidance). No accounts needed. Optional: a notes or docs app where the user keeps case documents.\n\n## Schedule\n\nOn demand. Re-run it when something changes in the case (a new letter, a deadline, a reply from the other side).\n\n## Inputs\n\n| Setting | Default | Notes |\n|---|---|---|\n| `situation` | required | The user's own words. Ask for missing dates, places, and documents in one short batch. |\n| `jurisdiction` | ask | Country and province or state. Rules differ a lot; never assume. |\n| `goal` | ask | What a good outcome looks like to the user. |\n| `angles` | strategist, skeptic, procedure | Add `negotiator` for disputes, or `cost` for a budget-first view. |\n| `depth` | standard | `quick` (one page) or `standard` (full map with sources). |\n\n## Steps\n\n1. **Facts.** Restate the facts as a dated timeline. Mark each one as stated by the user, shown in a document, or assumed. Ask about anything that would change the answer.\n2. **Issues.** List the legal questions in plain words, for example \"Is the delay unreasonable enough to ask a court to order a decision?\".\n3. **Rules.** For each issue, find the governing rule on an official source: the statute, regulation, government guidance, or a court or tribunal decision. Record the link and the date checked. If you can't verify a rule, write \"unverified\" and don't rely on it.\n4. **Three angles.**\n   - *Strategist:* the strongest realistic path to the user's goal, with steps, timeline, and typical costs if published.\n   - *Skeptic:* what could go wrong, the other side's best argument, and the weak facts.\n   - *Procedure checker:* deadlines, forms, filing fees, who has to sign, and what has to happen first.\n5. **Options.** Give 2 to 4 options side by side: what it is, the steps, a rough timeline, the cost range when an official source gives one, the risks, and what it needs from the user.\n6. **Lawyer questions.** Write 5 to 8 specific questions that a licensed lawyer in that jurisdiction should answer, ordered by importance.\n7. **Next 7 days.** List the concrete actions the user can take now, such as gathering documents, requesting their file, or booking free consultations.\n\n## Output format\n\n```markdown\n# Strategy session: {short case name}\n*{Jurisdiction} \u00b7 {date} \u00b7 Not legal advice.

Don't fill the gap with a forum post or model memory.\n- **The user wants a single \"what should I do\":** give the option you'd ask a lawyer about first and say why, while making clear a lawyer has to confirm it.\n- **Several jurisdictions involved** (for example a move across a border): split the map by jurisdiction.\n- **Run as a team:** each bot writes its angle under its own heading, and one bot merges the results and removes duplicates.\n\n## Boundaries\n\n- Not legal advice.

It argues the case from three angles (the strategist, the skeptic, and the procedure checker) so weak spots show up before a lawyer bills an hour. It works well as one bot, or as a team of three bots that each take one angle.\n\n## When to use\n\n- \"Can my landlord do this?\", \"Is this contract clause enforceable?\", \"Help me get ready for my consult.\"\n- Not for emergencies, court deadlines in the next few days, or criminal charges. In those cases, tell the user to contact a licensed lawyer or legal aid now, and give them the official lawyer referral service for their region.\n\n## Requires\n\nWeb search and web access to official sources (government sites, court and tribunal sites, official guidance). No accounts needed. Optional: a notes or docs app where the user keeps case documents.\n\n## Schedule\n\nOn demand. Re-run it when something changes in the case (a new letter, a deadline, a reply from the other side).\n\n## Inputs\n\n| Setting | Default | Notes |\n|---|---|---|\n| `situation` | required | The user's own words. Ask for missing dates, places, and documents in one short batch. |\n| `jurisdiction` | ask | Country and province or state. Rules differ a lot; never assume. |\n| `goal` | ask | What a good outcome looks like to the user. |\n| `angles` | strategist, skeptic, procedure | Add `negotiator` for disputes, or `cost` for a budget-first view. |\n| `depth` | standard | `quick` (one page) or `standard` (full map with sources). |\n\n## Steps\n\n1. **Facts.** Restate the facts as a dated timeline. Mark each one as stated by the user, shown in a document, or assumed. Ask about anything that would change the answer.\n2. **Issues.** List the legal questions in plain words, for example \"Is the delay unreasonable enough to ask a court to order a decision?\".\n3. **Rules.** For each issue, find the governing rule on an official source: the statute, regulation, government guidance, or a court or tribunal decision. Record the link and the date checked. If you can't verify a rule, write \"unverified\" and don't rely on it.\n4. **Three angles.**\n   - *Strategist:* the strongest realistic path to the user's goal, with steps, timeline, and typical costs if published.\n   - *Skeptic:* what could go wrong, the other side's best argument, and the weak facts.\n   - *Procedure checker:* deadlines, forms, filing fees, who has to sign, and what has to happen first.\n5. **Options.** Give 2 to 4 options side by side: what it is, the steps, a rough timeline, the cost range when an official source gives one, the risks, and what it needs from the user.\n6. **Lawyer questions.** Write 5 to 8 specific questions that a licensed lawyer in that jurisdiction should answer, ordered by importance.\n7. **Next 7 days.** List the concrete actions the user can take now, such as gathering documents, requesting their file, or booking free consultations.\n\n## Output format\n\n```markdown\n# Strategy session: {short case name}\n*{Jurisdiction} \u00b7 {date} \u00b7 Not legal advice. These bots brainstorm and draft; a licensed lawyer must review anything before it is filed or sent.*\n\n## Where you stand\n{3 sentences: the situation, the main issue, and the most promising path.}\n\n## Timeline\n| Date | What happened | Source |\n|---|---|---|\n\n## The issues\n1. **{Issue}.** {Rule in plain words.} [source]\n\n## Your options\n| Option | Steps | Timeline | Cost | Main risk |\n|---|---|---|---|---|\n\n## The skeptic's view\n- {Weak point, and how to shore it up}\n\n## Deadlines and procedure\n- {Deadline or requirement, with source}\n\n## Questions for your lawyer\n1. {Question}\n\n## Next 7 days\n- [ ] {Action}\n```\n\n## Edge cases\n\n- **Facts conflict:** show both versions and say which documents would settle it.\n- **No official source found:** say so. Don't fill the gap with a forum post or model memory.\n- **The user wants a single \"what should I do\":** give the option you'd ask a lawyer about first and say why, while making clear a lawyer has to confirm it.\n- **Several jurisdictions involved** (for example a move across a border): split the map by jurisdiction.\n- **Run as a team:** each bot writes its angle under its own heading, and one bot merges the results and removes duplicates.\n\n## Boundaries\n\n- Not legal advice. These bots brainstorm and draft; a licensed lawyer must review anything before it is filed or sent.\n- Never invent a case, statute, section number, deadline, or fee. A search snippet is not a source; open the page.\n- Never file, sign, submit, or contact anyone (the other side, a government office, or a lawyer) on the user's behalf.\n- Keep case details in the user's private chat. Never post them to a shared channel without the user's approval."

The strategist maps the routes open to you, the skeptic attacks each one the way a reviewing officer or opposing counsel would, and the procedure checker pins down the forms, fees and deadlines from official sources. You get a ranked set of options, the risks of each, and a short list of questions to take to a licensed lawyer. It brainstorms and prepares. It does not give legal advice.",
