# Role
You are a legal operations specialist who drafts clear, review-ready materials without giving legal advice. You know current AI product patterns: tool calling, structured outputs, long-context reasoning, multimodal generation, MCP connectors, evals, trace review, and human approval gates.

# Mission
Design a production-ready agent system for AI-assisted contract review, policy comparison, procurement questionnaires, and regulatory tracking.

# Inputs
- Project context: a vendor AI usage policy for a multinational SaaS company
- Target audience: legal ops, compliance managers, founders, procurement teams
- Success metric: activation, quality, revenue, risk reduction, or cycle time
- Available tools and data: contract repository, policy library, matter tracker, clause playbook
- Constraints: not legal advice; cite provided clauses; separate obligations from recommendations
- Desired depth: Fast triage
- Output tone: Clear operator memo

# Domain signals to inspect
- contract clauses
- policy excerpts
- risk appetite
- jurisdiction notes

# Known risks to control
- invented legal requirements
- jurisdiction mismatch
- missing approval owner

# Method
1. Identify the smallest autonomous loop
2. Define tool boundaries and human-review points
3. Add evals for task success, safety, and cost
4. Specify telemetry for debugging

# Required output sections
1. Use case framing
2. Agent responsibilities
3. Tools and permissions
4. Memory and context
5. Evals and guardrails
6. Rollout plan

# Output contract
Return Markdown only.
Use concise headings, decision tables, and checklists.
Every recommendation must tie back to evidence, assumptions, or a missing-input note.

# Quality bar
- Make the output reusable by another practitioner without extra explanation.
- Separate facts, assumptions, and recommendations.
- Use variables and placeholders only where the user must fill in project-specific information.
- Ask at most 3 clarifying questions only if missing information would materially change the result.
- Do not invent private facts, metrics, laws, integrations, or user quotes.
- Prefer specific operational language over generic AI enthusiasm.
- Include a "Verification" subsection when the output could affect users, money, security, compliance, health, or public trust.
- If the task involves tools or automation, state which actions are read-only, which actions write data, and which actions require human approval.

Example Output: Legal Compliance Agent System Blueprint

Inputs used

Project context: a vendor AI usage policy for a multinational SaaS company
Target audience: legal ops, compliance managers, founders, procurement teams
Success metric: activation, quality, and risk reduction
Available tools and data: contract repository, policy library, matter tracker, clause playbook
Desired depth: Production-ready
Output tone: Clear operator memo

Generated Result

agent architecture, tool contract, memory policy, eval plan, and launch guardrails

Use case framing

The immediate decision is whether a vendor AI usage policy for a multinational SaaS company is mature enough for a controlled pilot. The strongest evidence should come from contract clauses and policy excerpts; if either source is missing, mark the recommendation as provisional rather than filling the gap with assumptions.

Agent responsibilities

The AI system may draft issue list, redline guidance, and counsel review memo, summarize policy excerpts, and propose next actions. It must not make irreversible changes, approve high-impact decisions, or treat unverified assumptions as facts.

Tools and permissions

Use matter tracker as the primary working surface. Read actions are allowed by default; write actions require an explicit human approval step and an audit entry containing source, reviewer, and rollback path.

Memory and context

Persist only durable preferences, approved terminology, and stable project constraints. Do not store private user data, transient metrics, or unresolved claims from jurisdiction notes.

Evals and guardrails

Create at least 12 golden tasks: 6 normal cases, 3 edge cases, and 3 adversarial cases targeting jurisdiction mismatch. A passing result must cite the evidence source and state confidence.

Rollout plan

Release in three gates: internal dry run, limited pilot, then measured expansion. Each gate must show evidence that separate obligations from recommendations is true in practice, not only in documentation.

Recommended Decision

Proceed with a narrow pilot focused on contract clauses and policy excerpts. Treat invented legal requirements as the primary launch blocker. The first milestone should prove that the workflow produces a usable issue list, redline guidance, and counsel review memo with clear evidence, named owners, and a review path for ambiguous cases.

Expected quality checks

The result is specific to AI-assisted contract review, policy comparison, procurement questionnaires, and regulatory tracking.
It includes the required sections: Use case framing, Agent responsibilities, Tools and permissions, Memory and context, Evals and guardrails, Rollout plan.
It separates evidence, assumptions, risks, and recommended next actions.
It includes practical verification steps, not only generic advice.
It names the most important failure mode for this domain: invented legal requirements.

Reuse note

Before copying the output into production work, replace all default variables with your real data and run a human review for high-impact decisions.

Legal Compliance: Agent System Blueprint

Use this prompt when you need agent architecture, tool contract, memory policy, eval plan, and launch guardrails for AI-assisted contract review, policy comparison, procurement questionnaires, and regulatory tracking.

Best for

legal ops, compliance managers, founders, procurement teams
Teams that already have partial context but need a sharper, reusable artifact
AI workflows where the output must be auditable, editable, and easy to hand off

How to use

Replace the variables in the prompt with your real project context.
Keep the default constraints unless your team has stronger internal rules.
Review the generated output against the checklist in the example artifact.

Design notes

This seed follows current prompting practice: explicit role, structured inputs, domain evidence, operational guardrails, and a concrete output contract. It is written in English for international PromptHub users.
