Adding Special Instructions to a Draft

While drafting a document in Lexlegis, you can add special instructions to further refine how the draft is generated. This step allows you to communicate preferences that may not be fully captured through templates, clauses, or Master AI Guidelines alone.

Special instructions help ensure the draft closely matches your exact requirements.

1. What This Step Does

This step allows you to:

• Specify tone and writing style
• Define the intended audience
• Set urgency or priority
• Add formatting or length preferences
• Request inclusion of specific legal references

Lexlegis uses these instructions to fine-tune the draft before generation.

2. Types of Instructions You Can Add

You may include guidance such as:

• Tone (formal, neutral, assertive, plain-language)
• Audience (internal team, client, regulator, counterparty)
• Urgency (time-sensitive, preliminary, final-ready)
• Word or page limits
• Jurisdictional or statutory references
• Formatting preferences (headings, bullet points, summaries)

These instructions act as contextual guidance rather than structural constraints.

3. How Lexlegis Uses Special Instructions

Special instructions:

• Complement earlier selections such as templates and clauses
• Influence phrasing, emphasis, and presentation
• Help align the draft with practical use cases

They do not replace:

• Selected templates
• Mandatory clauses
• Master AI Guidelines

Instead, they refine how those inputs are applied.

4. Best Practices

• Be clear and concise when writing instructions
• Avoid conflicting guidance (for example, multiple tones)
• Use this step for preferences, not core document structure
• Combine with Master AI Guidelines for maximum consistency

5. When This Step Is Optional

If you do not add any special instructions:

• Lexlegis generates the draft using earlier inputs
• General legal drafting best practices are applied

This step is optional but recommended when precision or customisation is important.

6. What Happens Next

After adding special instructions, Lexlegis generates the draft using all selected inputs.
