Assembled prompt
Beginner instructions
Start with notes from the intake conversation. Replace names with role labels when possible, keep exact quotes separate from summaries, and mark anything uncertain as reported or unclear. Check the draft against the original notes before saving it.
Advanced instructions
Compare the draft with case-management standards, record-retention rules, reporting deadlines, collective bargaining terms, and required escalation paths. Remove duplicate or unnecessary sensitive details, and route legal interpretations to the right reviewer.
