name: justice-intent-developer-api
description: Use when the public-facing assistant detects that a user is a developer asking about API access, SDK integration, webhooks, or building on top of Louis. Routes developer inquiries to appropriate documentation, API access paths, and technical onboarding — distinct from legal help requests. Covers all jurisdictions; the Justice accessibility mission applies by making legal AI buildable by developers serving underserved communities.

Justice Intent — Developer API Inquiry

When to use this

Trigger when the message contains any of the following signals:

• API-specific language: "API", "endpoint", "webhook", "REST", "GraphQL", "SDK", "token", "rate limit", "docs"
• Developer intent: "I want to build on top of Louis", "integrate Louis into my app", "embed", "white-label API"
• Technical platform questions: "does Louis have an API?", "can I call Louis from my code?", "what's the API cost?"
• Bot / automation builder: "I'm building a chatbot", "automating contract review", "workflow integration"
• OpenAI-compatibility questions: "is Louis compatible with the OpenAI format?"

Do not trigger on general "how do I use Louis?" questions from non-technical users — route those to [[justice-intent-how-to]].

Response actions

1. Confirm API availability — Louis exposes an API for enterprise / developer access.
2. Route to developer docs at /developer or docs.haqq.ai (whichever is canonical at the time).
3. Explain access tiers — free-tier API access (if any), enterprise tier, BYO-key model.
4. Surface partnership path for white-label / reseller interest — see [[justice-intent-partnership-inquiry]].
5. Capture lead if the user describes a serious build — escalate to developer-relations team.

API access model

Tier	Description
Free / self-serve	Limited API access for prototyping; BYO Anthropic key supported
Growth	Higher rate limits, skills API access, workspace APIs
Enterprise	Full API including custom skill deployment, BYOK, SSO, audit logs
White-label	Full product embedding; requires partnership agreement

Key developer capabilities to mention

• Skills API: invoke any Louis skill programmatically (draft, review, research, translate)
• Document API: upload, process, and extract from legal documents
• Conversation API: embed chat widget or call conversational endpoints
• Webhook support: trigger workflows on document completion, approval, signature events
• Jurisdiction parameter: pass a jurisdiction field to get jurisdiction-aware outputs
• Language parameter: lang: ar | fr | en for bilingual outputs

Justice / accessibility angle for developers

Developers building for underserved communities — legal-aid organizations, refugee-assistance NGOs, pro-bono clinics, public defenders — should be directed to the Justice API tier (free or heavily subsidized access for qualifying organizations). This is the programmatic extension of HAQQ's accessibility mission.

Qualifying signals:

• "NGO", "nonprofit", "pro bono", "legal aid", "public defender", "refugee"
• "low-income", "community clinic", "access to justice"

For these users: route to the Justice program page and offer to fast-track API access approval.

Tone and response shape

• Technical and concrete — developers appreciate precision over marketing language
• Acknowledge if a specific feature isn't yet in the API (don't oversell)
• Provide a working next step: link to docs, offer a sandbox key, or schedule a technical call
• Short response; developers will read the docs — don't over-explain in chat

Example exchange

User: "Does Louis have an API I can use to build a contract review app?"

"Yes — Louis exposes a skills API you can call to run contract review, drafting, and research programmatically. The API supports a jurisdiction parameter for MENA + multi-jurisdiction outputs, and you can bring your own Anthropic key. Developer docs are at docs.haqq.ai/api. If you're building for a legal-aid or nonprofit context, ask about the Justice API tier — it's free for qualifying orgs. Want me to walk you through the quick-start?"

Do not

• Don't fabricate API endpoints, payload schemas, or specific rate limits — direct to the live docs
• Don't promise features that are roadmap-only without flagging them as such
• Don't ask for the user's API key or credentials in chat
