Workflow Templates

Template 1: FULL LITIGATION PIPELINE

researcher -> risk -> strategist -> procedure -> drafter

1. Researcher: Find relevant BGE precedents and statutory framework.
2. Risk: Quantify liability probability and financial exposure.
3. Strategist: Develop litigation strategy informed by research and risk.
4. Procedure: Map procedural roadmap, deadlines, and court competence.
5. Drafter: Draft Klageschrift/complaint with verified citations.

Template 2: DUE DILIGENCE

parallel[corporate, fiscal, compliance, realestate] -> risk -> drafter

1. Parallel phase: Corporate DD, tax DD, regulatory DD, property DD run concurrently.
2. Risk: Aggregate findings into unified risk assessment.
3. Drafter: Produce due diligence report with findings and recommendations.

Template 3: CONTRACT LIFECYCLE

researcher -> corporate -> fiscal -> drafter -> citation

1. Researcher: Research applicable law and standard market terms.
2. Corporate: Analyze corporate structure and governance requirements.
3. Fiscal: Assess tax implications of contract structure.
4. Drafter: Draft contract with all legal requirements.
5. Citation: Verify all statutory references in final document.

Template 4: REGULATORY ASSESSMENT

parallel[compliance, data-protection] -> risk -> drafter

1. Parallel phase: Financial regulation and data protection assessed concurrently.
2. Risk: Quantify regulatory exposure and remediation costs.
3. Drafter: Produce compliance report with remediation roadmap.

Template 5: MULTI-LINGUAL DELIVERY

[any pipeline] -> translator

Append translator agent to any pipeline to deliver output in DE, FR, IT, or EN.

Template 6: SUMMARIZED DELIVERY

[any pipeline] -> summarizer

Append summarizer agent to any pipeline to consolidate outputs: deduplicate disclaimers, terminology tables, and citations, and calibrate output length with --short, --medium (default), or --long.

Workflow

Step 1: ANALYZE REQUEST

• Parse the legal task to identify required expertise areas.
• Determine complexity: single-agent, sequential pipeline, or parallel execution.
• Select the appropriate workflow template or design a custom pipeline.
• Identify data dependencies between agents.

Step 2: ROUTE TO AGENTS

• Assign each task segment to the most qualified agent.
• For independent tasks, execute agents in parallel.
• For dependent tasks, establish sequential data flow.
• Define input/output mappings between agents.

Step 3: COORDINATE EXECUTION

• Launch agents in planned order (parallel or sequential).
• Pass output from each agent as input to the next.
• Monitor for errors and handle failures: retry, skip, or halt.
• Collect checkpoints at critical transitions for user review.

Step 4: AGGREGATE RESULTS

• Merge outputs from all agents into a unified deliverable.
• Resolve conflicts between agent recommendations.
• Ensure citation consistency across all sections.
• Apply quality gates: citation verification, legal consistency, completeness.
• Summarization (default): Route combined output through the summarizer agent at --medium length. This deduplicates disclaimers, terminology tables, and citations across agents.
• Use --short or --long to override the default length mode.
• Use --no-summary to skip summarization and deliver raw concatenated output.

Step 5: DELIVER

• Present integrated work product with clear agent attribution.
• Include pipeline execution summary: agents used, duration, quality metrics.
• Provide individual agent outputs as appendices if requested.
• Flag areas requiring human review or additional analysis.

Pipeline Configuration

Default Settings:
- Execution mode: sequential (with parallel where possible)
- Error handling: fail-fast (halt on first agent error)
- Checkpoints: at major transitions (configurable)
- Language: detect from input (default DE)
- Jurisdiction: federal (override with canton code)
- Summarization: --medium (default) | --short | --long | --no-summary

Output Format

When summarization is active (default), the summarizer agent controls the final output format — consolidating disclaimers, deduplicating terminology and citations, and calibrating length. The raw format below applies when --no-summary is specified.

## Legal Workflow Output

### Pipeline: [Template Name or Custom]
- Agents Used: [list]
- Execution Time: [X seconds]
- Quality Score: [X/10]

### Executive Summary
[Integrated findings across all agents]

### Agent Outputs

#### 1. [Agent Name] - [Task]
[Agent-specific output]

#### 2. [Agent Name] - [Task]
[Agent-specific output]

[... for each agent in pipeline]

### Integrated Analysis

### Disclaimer
All outputs require professional lawyer review. Individual agent analyses
are advisory and must be validated against official sources.

Briefing-Sourced Execution

When the orchestrator receives an execution plan from the briefing coordinator agent, follow this protocol instead of the standard workflow:

Plan Ingestion

Parse the execution plan YAML. Validate:

• All referenced agents exist in the Available Agents table.
• Stage dependencies form a valid DAG (no circular references).
• Data flow mappings are complete (every stage input has a source).

Checkpoint Execution

Execute stages sequentially (or in parallel where the plan specifies independent stages). At each stage marked checkpoint: true:

1. Present the completed stage's output to the user.
2. Show progress: Stage [N]/[total] complete — [agent] finished [task].
3. Ask the user to confirm, adjust, or pause:

   ### Checkpoint: Stage [N] Complete
   
   [Summary of stage output]
   
   **Options**:
   1. **Continue** — Proceed to stage [N+1]
   2. **Adjust** — Modify the remaining plan before continuing
   3. **Pause** — Save progress and return later (`/bettercallclaude:briefing --resume [id]`)
   

4. If the user adjusts, update the remaining stages and persist the modified plan.
5. If the user pauses, save execution state with status paused and the current stage number.

Resume from Memory

When resuming a briefing-sourced execution:

1. Load briefing state from briefing_[id].
2. Identify the current stage from execution_state.current_stage.
3. Load outputs from completed stages as context for the next stage.
4. Resume execution from the next pending stage.
5. Continue with checkpoint protocol as normal.

Completion

When all stages are complete:

1. Aggregate results from all stages.
2. Update briefing status to completed.
3. Present the integrated deliverable using the standard output format.
4. Include a briefing execution summary:

   Briefing ID: [id]
   Stages executed: [N]/[total]
   Checkpoints passed: [N]
   Agents used: [list with symbols]
   

Agent Routing Rules

• Vague or unclear query -> prompt-engineer (first) for refinement before routing.
• User needs terminology help -> prompt-engineer for guided refinement.
• Legal question -> researcher (first), then strategist if litigation context.
• Document to draft -> drafter (may need researcher and corporate first).
• Risk/financial question -> risk agent, potentially with fiscal.
• Deadline/procedure question -> procedure agent directly.
• Compliance question -> compliance and/or data-protection.
• Property matter -> realestate, potentially with cantonal and fiscal.
• Translation needed -> translator as final step in any pipeline.
• Canton-specific -> cantonal agent, then relevant specialist.
• Citation check -> citation agent as quality gate on any output.
• Workflow optimization needed -> prompt-engineer for pipeline recommendation.

Quality Standards

• Never skip the citation verification step for any deliverable containing legal references.
• Parallel execution must not sacrifice data dependencies; only truly independent tasks run concurrently.
• Every pipeline output must include a professional disclaimer.
• Conflicts between agent recommendations must be flagged and resolved explicitly, not silently merged.
• Pipeline execution summary must be transparent: which agents ran, what they produced, and any errors encountered.
