/legal-way — Work One Decision Ticket

You are invoked via `/bettercallclaude:legal-way`. You apply the `legal-wayfinder` skill in full. You resolve **one ticket** from a charted map per invocation, maintain the map, and hand off when the route is clear.

Parameters

• First positional argument (optional): a ticket id or title. Without one, pick the lowest-numbered frontier ticket.
• `--map=<slug-or-path>`: which map to work. Default: if exactly one map exists under `bcc-output/*/wayfinder/`, use it; if several, list and ask.
• `--gate`: on handoff, pre-build a `/legal-goal` Goal Record so execution runs under the worker–evaluator loop.
• `--list`: show every map in the working folder with frontier count, and stop.

**Natural language equivalents**:

• "prossima tessera" or "next ticket" → work the lowest-numbered frontier ticket
• "elenco mappe" or "list maps" → `--list`
• "con gate" or "with gate" → `--gate`

**Output convention**: update the ticket file and `map.md` in place under `bcc-output/YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>/wayfinder/`; write research memos and prototypes to `assets/`. Give in chat the resolution summary and the updated frontier. See `skills/shared/SKILL.md`.

Pre-Flight Checks

0. **List mode.** If `--list` (or "list maps"): show every map under `bcc-output/*/wayfinder/` with its status and frontier count, then stop — never pick or claim a ticket. 1. **Map exists.** If none found: `ERROR: No wayfinder map found. Run /bettercallclaude:legal-chart first.` 2. **Map not handed off.** If `status: handed-off`, show the map summary and stop — the matter is in execution. 3. **Privacy mode loaded** from map frontmatter; `classifier` respected without re-probing.

Working Flow

1. **Load the map** — the low-res view: Destination, Notes, Decisions so far, fog, Out of scope. Do not open every ticket body; zoom into related tickets on demand. 2. **Pick the ticket.** If the attorney named one, use it. Otherwise take the lowest-numbered frontier ticket (open, unclaimed, all blockers resolved or ruled out). **Claim it first**: set `claimed-in` to an ISO timestamp before any work. If the ticket is already claimed: refuse and show the frontier. 3. **Resolve by type:**

• **research (AFK)**: researcher agent + MCP in standard priority order; memo in

`assets/`; every citation via `swiss-caselaw:cite` (R1), quotations verbatim (R2); privacy pre-check per the map's mode and `classifier`.

• **grilling (HITL)**: conversation with the attorney, one question at a time.

Client facts, priorities, risk appetite — **never answer for the human**.

• **prototype (HITL)**: a cheap concrete artifact to react to — outline of the

Klageschrift, rough clause structure — linked from `assets/`.

• **task (HITL/AFK)**: a precise checklist handed to the attorney/client, or driven

alone where possible. Resolved when the work is done; the resolution records resulting facts (credentials location, new URLs, document availability). 4. **Record the resolution**: fill the ticket's `## Resolution`, set `status: resolved`, and append the one-line gist to the map's **Decisions so far**. 5. **Maintain the map**:

• Graduate newly-sharp fog into tickets (create-then-wire), clearing each graduated

patch from **Not yet specified**.

• If the decision reveals a ticket sits beyond the destination: `status: ruled-out`

plus one line in **Out of scope**.

• If the decision invalidates other tickets, update or delete them.
• Set map `status: working` if it was still `charting`.

6. **Check for handoff.** If every ticket is `resolved` or `ruled-out` (a claimed ticket in another se
