## Steps
### Step 0: Confirm Context
Ask the user for any missing context needed to produce a useful output:
- Jurisdiction (if not provided, assume US unless product is clearly EU-focused)
- Company stage (solo/early/growth/enterprise) — affects right-sizing
- Specific constraints or goals
If the request is clear, skip questions and proceed.
### Step 1: Gather Context
Compare how a legal requirement or clause is interpreted across specified jurisdictions.
Read relevant existing documents from the project if available. Use WebSearch/WebFetch for current regulatory guidance if needed.
### Step 2: Produce Output
Produce the requested artifact:
- Draft documents in plain, readable language
- Flag any sections requiring outside counsel
- Include a risk summary at the top: what is the exposure, what is the fix
- Note jurisdiction assumptions clearly
- Mark every claim you could not confirm against a primary source (statute text, opinion, agency guidance), and say where you looked — an unverified citation is worse than none
### Step 3: Summary
Output a brief summary:
- What was produced
- Key risks or open questions
- Recommended next steps (including when to involve a real lawyer)
- Follow the output format defined in docs/output-kit.md
## Delivery
If output exceeds the 40-line CLI budget, invoke `/atlas-report` with the full findings. The HTML report is the output. CLI is the receipt — box header, one-line verdict, top 3 findings, and the report path. Never dump analysis to CLI.
