## Prerequisites

This skill requires the `cellcog` skill for SDK setup and API calls.

```bash
clawhub install cellcog
```

**Read the cellcog skill first** for SDK setup. This skill shows you what's possible.

**Quick pattern (v1.0+):**
```python

    notify_session_key="agent:main:main",
    task_label="legal-task",
    chat_mode="agent"
)
```

## Important Note

CellCog generates legal documents using frontier AI reasoning and research. However, **AI-generated legal documents should be reviewed by a qualified attorney** before execution — especially for high-value contracts, regulated industries, or jurisdiction-specific requirements. CellCog provides an excellent starting point that saves significant time and cost, but human legal review remains important for critical documents.

## Why CellCog for Legal?

### The Two Pillars

**1. Intelligence** — Legal work requires deep reasoning about context, jurisdiction, edge cases, and implications. CellCog's #1 ranking on DeepResearch Bench means it reasons about legal nuances at a level other AI tools can't match.

**2. Document Generation** — Legal documents need precise formatting, proper clause numbering, consistent terminology, and professional presentation. CellCog's state-of-the-art PDF generation produces documents that look like they came from a top law firm.

| Generic AI | CellCog Legal Cog |
|-----------|-------------------|
| Generic contract templates | Jurisdiction-aware, context-specific drafting |
| Basic text output | Professional PDF with proper legal formatting |
| Surface-level clauses | Deep reasoning about edge cases and implications |
| One format | Contracts, policies, memos, research — all from one platform |

---

## Chat Mode for Legal

| Scenario | Recommended Mode |
|----------|------------------|
| Single contract, NDA, or policy | `"agent"` |
| Complex multi-document legal packages | `"agent"` |
| Deep regulatory research or compliance analysis | `"agent team"` |

**Use `"agent"` for most legal documents.** CellCog handles contracts, policies, and standard legal documents excellently in agent mode.

**Use `"agent team"` for complex legal research** — multi-jurisdiction compliance analysis, regulatory deep-dives, or when the legal reasoning itself is the deliverable.

## Tips for Better Legal Documents

1. **Specify jurisdiction**: "A contract" is vague. "A Delaware-governed contract for California-based parties" gives CellCog the legal context it needs.

2. **Name the parties clearly**: Include entity types (LLC, Corp, sole proprietor) and locations.

3. **Define the deal terms**: Payment amounts, timelines, equity splits, deliverables — the more specific, the better.

4. **State what clauses matter**: "Include IP assignment, non-compete, and arbitration" focuses the document.

5. **Indicate formality level**: "Standard startup-friendly language" vs. "formal corporate tone" changes the output significantly.
