Legal Analysis Engine Switch Skill

Coordination utility that manages transitions and context switches between the Claude and Gemini engines during the legal analysis workflow.

Engine Switch Skill — Legal Analysis Workflow

You have been invoked at a specific step of the legal analysis workflow. Your job is to execute the engine switch for that step.

Instructions

  1. You were told which step of the legal analysis workflow you are at (e.g., "Step VI.2").
  2. Read the legal analysis workflow file: legal-analysis workflow.
  3. Find the step you were given. Read the surrounding context to understand:
    • What just happened (the step before the switch).
    • What needs to happen next (the step after the switch).
    • Which engine the next step requires (Claude or Gemini). Determine this from the workflow text — e.g., "As Claude, review..." means switch to Claude; returning to the default engine means switch to Gemini.
  4. Execute the appropriate switch workflow:
  5. In the switch message, include ALL of the following so the receiving engine has full context:
    • The workflow name: legal-analysis workflow
    • The exact step it should execute next (the step AFTER the switch).
    • The current dispute name and number.
    • The current stage name (if applicable — stages apply in Steps VII–XI).
    • A one-sentence summary of what the next step requires the engine to do, taken directly from the workflow text.
    • Any critical constraints (e.g., "Do NOT read the memos yet" for the co-counsel blind baseline).

Example Switch Message

If invoked at Step VI.2 for Dispute 1 (Civil Fraud):

"You are executing Step VI.3 of legal-analysis.md for Dispute 1 (Civil Fraud). As Claude, review the issue-spotting matrix (00_issue_spotting_matrix.md) for completeness by applying the issue spotter skill, and save as 00a_issue_spotting_matrix_reviewed.md."

If invoked at Step IX.1 for Dispute 2 (Account Suspension), Stage 1 (PI):

"You are executing Step IX.2 of legal-analysis.md for Dispute 2 (Account Suspension), Stage 1 (PI). Execute Phase 1 (Blind Baseline) of the co-counsel review. Read and invoke the co-counsel skill. Provide ONLY 00_facts_and_disputes.md. Do NOT read any memos yet."
