Legal Wayfinder — Decision Maps for Big Legal Matters

\n

A big legal matter arrives wrapped in fog: the route from intake to deliverable is not\nvisible yet. Wayfinding finds that route by resolving decisions — not by executing\nwork slices. The map is the plan; execution happens only after handoff.

\n

Plan, don't do. Every ticket resolves a decision. Supporting memos and prototypes are\nlinked as assets, but no client deliverable is drafted inside the map. A matter may\noverride this in the map's Notes (carrying execution into the map); absent that,\nproduce decisions, not deliverables.

\n

Refer by name. In everything the attorney reads, refer to a ticket by its title,\nnever a bare id. Ids ride inside the linked name: [Limitation period open?](tickets/t01-limitation-period-open.md).

\n

Storage

\n

Everything lives inside the matter folder — never in memory keys, never synced anywhere:

\n
bcc-output/YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>/wayfinder/\n  map.md\n  tickets/\n    t01-limitation-period-open.md\n    t02-forum-choice-zh-or-federal.md\n  assets/          ← research memos, prototype outlines linked from tickets\n

The Map (map.md)

\n

The map is an index, not a store: a decision lives in exactly one place — its\nticket. The map gists and links.

TypeModeResolvesRules
researchAFKA fact a decision waits on (precedent, statute, deadline)Researcher agent + MCP servers; memo in assets/; R1 (citations only via swiss-caselaw:cite) and R2 (verbatim quotations) enforced
grillingHITLClient facts, priorities, risk appetiteConversation with the attorney, one question at a time. Never answer for the human — an agent that answers its own grilling questions has broken the ticket
prototypeHITL\"How should it look/behave\"Cheap concrete artifact to react to — outline of the Klageschrift, rough clause structure — linked from assets/
taskHITL or AFKWork that unblocks a decision (gather contract file, obtain court records)Precise checklist for attorney/client, or driven alone where possible; resolution records what was done and resulting facts later tickets depend on
\n

Frontier and claiming

\n

The frontier is every ticket with status: open, empty claimed-in, and all\nblocked-by tickets status: resolved or ruled-out. /legal-way picks the lowest-numbered frontier\nticket unless the attorney names one. Claim by setting claimed-in to a session stamp\n(ISO date + time) before any work; refuse a ticket already claimed. One ticket per\n/legal-way invocation — research tickets are the only exception (they may be batched\nor fired in parallel by /legal-chart).

\n

Fog of war

\n

The map is deliberately incomplete. Beyond the live tickets lies fog — questions you can\nsense but cannot phrase sharply yet because they hang on open decisions. The test:

\n\n

Resolving a ticket graduates whatever it made sharp: create new tickets (create-then-wire\nblocking edges in a second pass), and clear each graduated patch from Not yet\nspecified so it lives only as its ticket.

\n

Out of scope

\n

Fog gathers only toward the destination; work beyond it is out of scope and never\ngraduates. When a live ticket turns out to sit past the destination, set it\nstatus: ruled-out (not resolved) and add one line to Out of scope: gist + why +\nlink. It stays out of Decisions so far — a scope boundary is not a step on the route.

\n

Edge cases

\n\n

Privacy (Anwaltsgeheimnis)

\n

The map's privacy-mode governs every ticket; the PreToolUse hook keeps guarding writes\nregardless. classifier is probed once at chart time (ollama_check_status) — never\nre-probed per ticket. Degradation follows the privacy-routing decision matrix:

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Contentclassifier: ollamaclassifier: none
PUBLICcloud preferredcloud OK
CONFIDENTIALlocal preferredanonymize → cloud + warning
PRIVILEGED / undeterminable (strict)local requiredno automated clear: stay local-only, or ask the attorney directly before any cloud call
\n

A research ticket touching privileged facts with no classifier does not hard-fail the\nmap: convert to conversation — ask the attorney to reformulate the question in anonymous\nterms, then proceed as CONFIDENTIAL. Fail closed; never \"just send it\".

\n

Handoff

\n

Hand off only when every ticket is resolved or ruled-out and the fog is empty.\nA claimed ticket still counts as open — in-flight work in another session blocks\nhandoff. When /legal-way reaches that state, set\nstatus: ready-for-handoff and — instead of stopping — emit a handoff pack:\ndestination + Decisions so far + linked assets, shaped to feed the orchestrator's\nBriefing-Sourced Execution protocol. Route to /legal-5step or the orchestrator. With\n--gate, pre-build a /legal-goal record so execution runs under the worker–evaluator\nloop from day one. Set status: handed-off once the pack is delivered.

\n

Honest termination

\n

Never present an unresolved map as clear. If the map is dead — fog non-empty, nothing\ngraduatable, no open tickets — surface it to the attorney: the destination needs\nredrawing or external input is missing (which is itself a task ticket).

\n

Plugin Scope Constraint

\n

For all wayfinding tasks, use exclusively BetterCallClaude agents, skills, and MCP\nservers. Do not delegate legal work to generic or external skills, agents, or tools\noutside this plugin.
