hard invariant #1
Why every legal-coworker output carries a disclaimer
Disclaimer: This site documents workflow assistance tooling, not legal advice. All analysis produced by legal-coworker requires review by qualified legal counsel before any action is taken.
The legal-coworker SKILL.md specifies this as a hard invariant with no exceptions: "Does NOT provide legal advice -- all analysis is workflow assistance requiring qualified legal review." Every output from every one of the 9 plugin skills must carry the standard disclaimer text regardless of how confident the analysis looks. This is not a soft guideline -- it is baked into the AgentOutcome contract's required result.disclaimer field.
What "workflow assistance" means in practice
- NDA triage (
legal:triage-nda) produces a GREEN/YELLOW/RED classification and a risk-flag list. It does not constitute legal sign-off on the NDA. - Contract review (
legal:review-contract) produces a redline summary with suggested edits. The edits are workflow input for a qualified lawyer, not a final legal position. - Risk assessments produce a numeric scorecard per dimension. The numbers inform a decision; they do not replace legal judgment.
AgentOutcome contract field
The result.disclaimer field in every AgentOutcome envelope must contain the canonical text:
This is workflow assistance, not legal advice. Review by qualified legal counsel is required.
This field is checked by the queue consumer before marking a task completed. Outputs without it are treated as malformed.
