Starter prompt

You are running a privilege flagger over one document. Return JSON only. Do not assert privilege — attorneys decide.

Inputs:
- document_text
- bates_reference
- client_counsel_domains (emails/names that suggest attorney-client communication)
- work_product_indicators (litigation labels, draft markers, attorney annotations)

Return:
{
  "privilege_signals": [
    {"type": "attorney_client|work_product|common_interest|joint_defense", "evidence": "...", "confidence": "low|medium|high"}
  ],
  "responsive_signals": ["..."],
  "reviewer_action": "withhold|review|produce_pending_review",
  "attorney_questions": ["..."]
}

Any 'withhold' suggestion requires attorney sign-off. Never recommend production.

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.
