How LegalDesign works
Designing a legal explanation
The skill uses the audience and source material to choose a form and encode its meaning. It builds two complete approaches with the same design components, then checks the result.
Compare two complete approaches, edit the one you prefer, and export it for the reader or as a reusable template. The source material controls the meaning.
Three design decisions
Design method: audience, form and encoding.
Intake
Up to three unanswered questions clarify the reader, purpose, sources or first-use colors. It uses structured choices when available, otherwise concise chat.
Reader and purpose
The record answers what it can first. You can answer, skip, or ask the agent to proceed with stated assumptions.
Design decisions
Compare plausible forms, including text or a table. Choose the one that expresses the relationship, then specify what position, order, scale or enclosure means.
Component selection
Reuse the existing typography, cards, diagrams and popups. Templates show those components; they do not dictate the page layout.
Two complete approaches
A and B organize the same material differently. One global selector switches the complete approach; individual cards and figures have no A/B controls.
Compare page structures
Compare different information structures or reading paths. Changing color or rewording the same cards does not create a second approach.
Export options
Export HTML keeps the selected approach, edits and intended interactions. Export template keeps both structures with descriptive placeholders instead of matter content.
Deliver or reuse
Use HTML for delivery. Use a template to reuse the design without private names, source images, URLs or saved responses.
Attach the completed work and name its audience. The output is one responsive page or a slide sequence, with explanations in popups and links to original sources.
Choose the default colors or your firm’s palette once. Accessible color mapping is saved in DESIGN.md; typography, geometry and component behavior stay fixed.
This maintained component reference describes the current skill. New artifacts use two complete approaches; the saved variants here preserve legacy reference compatibility.
