SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps legal teams quickly create a first-cut internal AI usage policy that’s grounded in published model policies and ready for attorney review instead of starting from a blank page or drafting in isolation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Scope-first policy drafting: runs a guided scope interview to determine audience, tool coverage, and deployment context before writing any policy sections.
  • Model-policy sourced sections: drafts policy language section-by-section using relevant, jurisdiction-appropriate published guidance (with explicit reviewer flags at every decision point).
  • Attorney-adoption readiness: produces a structured draft with sources, in-line attribution, a reviewer note, and an adoption checklist so stakeholders can finalize safely.

Use case examples:

  • A 30-lawyer firm needs a new GenAI policy aligned to its jurisdictions.
  • A legal team updates an existing AI policy to reflect new regulatory expectations for AI governance.

Quick Start

Ask for a firm AI usage policy draft for internal legal review by running: /ai-governance-legal:policy-starter "we need an AI policy for our 30-lawyer firm".
