Legal 5-Step Framework
Objective
Coordinate an end-to-end legal analysis pipeline for Spanish law across five phases: intake, research, strategy, adversarial testing, and drafting. Enforce data flow between agents, implement quality gates, and provide progress reporting.

Skill: legal-briefing
Tasks:
- Assemble specialist panel (3–5 agents)
- Conduct adaptive questioning (5 rounds)
- Assign complexity score (1–10)
- Build execution plan
- Establish cross-session persistence
Output: Briefing report with panel, plan, and complexity score
Quality Gate:
Step 2: Research
Skill: spanish-legal-research
Tasks:
- Search legislation (BOE, CCAA gazettes)
- Search case law (STS, SAP, STC)
- Review doctrine and commentary
- Analyze precedents (ratio decidendi, distinguishing facts)
- Apply interpretation methods
- Verify citations via
legal-citations-esp
Input from Step 1: Matter definition, legal domain, jurisdiction, factual summary

Tasks:
- Select procedural pathway (ordinario, verbal, monitorio, etc.)
- Analyze forum selection
- Estimate timelines
- Assess costs (tasación de costas)
- Design appeal strategy (apelación, casación, amparo)
- Build risk matrix
Input from Step 2: Legal propositions, applicable statutes, precedents
Output: Strategy memorandum with procedural plan and risk assessment
Quality Gate:
Step 4: Adversarial Analysis
Skill: adversarial-analysis
Tasks:
- Advocate: Present strongest case for user's position
- Adversary: Attack position with maximum force
- Judicial analyst: Render balanced assessment
- Probability scoring for each argument
- Synthesize Fundamentos de Derecho
Input from Step 3: Procedural plan, legal propositions, risk assessment

- Address adversarial weaknesses
- Ensure mandatory law compliance (Art. 6 CC, Art. 1255 CC, Art. 1101 CC)
- Format per jurisdiction and court requirements
Input from Step 4: Synthesized legal position, risk mitigations, strategic decisions
Output: Final drafted document(s)
Quality Gate:

After completing the 5-step pipeline, offer:
## Framework Menu — What would you like to do next?
1. **Summarize output** → Invoke `output-summarization` (--short / --medium / --long)
2. **Translate documents** → Invoke `spanish-legal-translation` (ES ↔ EN)
3. **Verify citations** → Invoke `spanish-citation-formats` (batch verification)
4. **Analyze documents** → Invoke `spanish-document-analysis` (compliance check)
5. **Refine query** → Invoke `legal-query-refinement` (new angle)
6. **Export for counsel** → Format all outputs for abogado colegiado review
7. **Start new matter** → Begin new 5-step framework
Quality Gates Summary
| Step | Skill | Gate Criteria |
