Legal prompts for how you actually work.
Get CounselKit — $49Most lawyers use AI every day now. The results are usually mediocre. Not because the tools are bad — ChatGPT and Claude are remarkably capable. The problem is that they start every conversation knowing nothing about you, your work, or the standards your profession demands. So they guess. They cite cases that don't exist — over 1,100 court cases worldwide now involve fabricated AI citations, and 128 U.S. lawyers have been sanctioned. They draft provisions that sound right but miss what matters.
As one attorney put it: "Every time I demo one of these legal-specific tools, they suck." Another described "countless hours trying to improve the legal research capabilities of ChatGPT through clever prompting" — and failing.
The difference between a useless AI response and one that actually saves you time is almost always the prompt. Not a better subscription. Not a fancier tool. Just a better question, asked with the right structure.
CounselKit is 24 prompts built specifically for legal workflows. Each one tells the AI who it is, what to do, how to format the result, and where to flag uncertainty instead of guessing. Copy one into ChatGPT or Claude, fill in the brackets, and get output that's actually useful.
Five prompts that teach the AI how to work with you. Set its role, load context, specify output format, iterate on results, and constrain scope. Use these before every major task — they make everything else work better.
Compare documents side by side. Summarize key provisions. Identify what's missing. Tier issues by risk. Translate dense clauses into plain English. Explain redlines. Seven prompts for the work that fills most of your day.
Summarize sources without hallucination. Map competing arguments. Identify gaps in your analysis. Compare jurisdictions. Check citations. Synthesize meeting prep from scattered materials. Six prompts for thinking clearly with AI assistance.
Generate structured first drafts. Build a clause library. Audit defined terms for consistency. Codify your writing style so the AI matches it. Run a QA protocol before anything goes out the door. Revise to client-ready. Six prompts for producing work product, not rough drafts.
Plus
A prompt builder to create your own prompts using the CounselKit framework, plus drop-in AI profile setup files for ChatGPT Custom Instructions and Claude Project Instructions. Set them once — every conversation after that starts with your professional context already loaded.
These are two of 24 prompts in the pack. Every prompt includes the full template, a description of when to use it, and a pro tip from real legal workflows.
Categorize identified issues by severity — High, Medium, Low — with clear reasoning so you know where to focus your effort.
Pro tip: Risk tiering is discipline. It forces you to be specific about downside risk instead of vague worry. Use this rigorously.
Given a redlined document, explain what changed, why it matters, and what's worth pushing back on.
Pro tip: Most redlines are negotiable. Knowing which hills to die on is more important than fighting every change.
58 pages, organized by workflow. Save it, print it, keep it open on a second monitor. It's yours.
ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini — whatever you use. Each prompt is self-contained and tool-agnostic.
Every prompt has clear [PLACEHOLDER] fields. Paste your document, describe your situation, get structured output you can actually use.
Every prompt in CounselKit was written for the way lawyers actually work — document review, issue spotting, risk analysis, client communication. These aren't generic "write me an email" prompts with the word "legal" bolted on.
Stanford researchers found general-purpose AI hallucinates 58–82% of the time on legal research queries. Even RAG-enhanced tools like Lexis+ AI still produce errors 17% of the time. CounselKit prompts instruct the AI to flag uncertainty, refuse to fabricate citations, and distinguish between what the law clearly says and what requires verification.
The prompts are organized into four modules that mirror actual legal workflows: set up the AI, review documents, research and analyze, then draft. Module 1's foundation prompts work as a base layer for everything that follows. This structure means you learn a system, not just a list of tricks.
Harvey AI costs ~$1,200/seat/month. CoCounsel runs $225–$500/month. CounselKit is $49 once. It works with the ChatGPT or Claude subscription you already have.
This is for attorneys, in-house counsel, paralegals, and legal ops professionals who use AI tools in their daily work and want dramatically better results. You don't need to be technical. You don't need to understand "prompt engineering." You need prompts that respect how legal work actually functions — the precision it demands, the uncertainty it requires you to flag, and the professional standards it has to meet.
If you've ever pasted a contract into ChatGPT and gotten back something that sounded confident but was mostly wrong, CounselKit is for you.
