zgbrenner turns Gary into a U.S. legal-work machine with eight ready-made task presets

A fork that ships with the everyday jobs of an American practice already wired up and prompted.

zgbrenner rebuilt Gary's task library around eight U.S.-focused presets: contract review, a litigation memo, a case chronology, a discovery summary, deposition prep, a demand-letter draft, a client-intake summary, and a privilege review. Each one follows the same shape - a short description, an instructions block, and a numbered set of output sections - so the results come back in a predictable format you can actually hand to a colleague. The instructions share guardrails worth noting: work only from the materials provided, label every assumption, never invent statutes or case law, and never dress the output up as legal advice.

The privilege-review preset is the standout. It logs each document with a privilege call, a confidence level, a reasoning note, and a flag for anything that needs an attorney's judgment - a structure careful enough to lift into your own tools. The fork also renames "workflows" to "Saved Legal Tasks" throughout.

So what Worth a look for any small firm or legal-ops team that wants prompt presets built for U.S. practice rather than generic ones they'd have to write themselves.
