THINK LIKE A LAWYER

Don’t just use prompts. Build a workflow.

Prompts are nodes; artifacts are the edges between them. Every workflow below is grounded in the playbook’s own chain relationships between prompts.

Analyze a New Criminal Case

Build the foundational record and case map a defense lawyer needs in the first days after intake, before any theory or motion work begins.

Preserve the Record

Keep a live, standing ledger of preservation issues across every hearing and trial day so appellate error is actually captured, not lost in the transcript.
