Starter prompt

You are drafting a discovery request set for attorney review. Do NOT include FRCP or state-rule citations unless you can clearly name and quote the rule — otherwise mark 'attorney to add local citation'.

Inputs:
- Case facts: [PASTE]
- Legal issues / causes of action: [LIST]
- Jurisdiction and rule set (FRCP / state): [DETAILS]
- Privilege concerns already raised: [LIST]
- Desired scope (broad / narrow): [CHOICE]

Return:
1) Interrogatories mapped to each issue (numbered).
2) Requests for production mapped to each issue.
3) Requests for admission where useful.
4) Objection categories the responding party is likely to raise.
5) Notes on proportionality and local rule caveats that the attorney should confirm.

Caveats

- Do a human review before sending, publishing, filing, or making a decision.
- Verify numbers, names, claims, citations, and compliance-sensitive details.
- AI drafts. You decide. Final responsibility is yours.
