Justice — Slash Commands

Purpose

Slash commands are keyboard-first shortcuts in the Louis chat input. When a user types /, the interface surfaces an autocomplete dropdown. This skill defines every supported command, its parameters, its routing target, and its behavior on invocation.

Trigger

A slash command is triggered when the user:

1. Types / at the start of a chat message (or after a space, for inline commands)
2. The autocomplete dropdown appears, filtered as the user continues typing
3. User selects a command (keyboard or click) or types the full command and presses Enter

Command catalog

Drafting

Command	Parameters	Behavior
/draft [type]	Type: nda, employment-contract, lease, spa, moa, loi, demand-letter, etc.	Invokes the appropriate drafting skill; prompts for required inputs; routes output to doc workspace
/clause [name]	Name: confidentiality, governing-law, limitation-of-liability, dispute-resolution, etc.	Pulls the named clause from the firm's clause library + the Louis standard library; inserts inline or into active document

Review

Command	Parameters	Behavior
/review [type]	Type: general, risk-only, clause-by-clause, redline	Invokes the contract review skill on the most recently uploaded or pasted document; routes output to result page or inline

Research

Command	Parameters	Behavior
/research [topic]	Topic: free text (e.g., "termination for cause UAE", "PDPL obligations KSA")	Invokes the legal research skill; prompts for jurisdiction if not specified; routes output to memo viewer
/citation [case or statute]	Reference: free text	Looks up and formats the citation in the active citation style; inserts into active document or returns inline

Translation

Command	Parameters	Behavior
/translate [lang]	Lang: ar, fr, en, or auto	Translates the selected text or last assistant message to the target language; routes to bilingual viewer if > 200 words

Navigation / context

Command	Parameters	Behavior
/matter [id or name]	Matter ID or partial name	Switches the active matter context; all subsequent saves and sends attach to this matter
/jurisdiction [code]	Code: LB, UAE, DIFC, KSA, EG, FR, UK, US, etc.	Sets the active jurisdiction filter for all subsequent skills in this session

Utility

Command	Parameters	Behavior
/skills	None	Lists all available skills (filterable by category or jurisdiction); links to each skill's description
/help	Optional: [topic]	Opens the help panel; if a topic is provided, jumps to the relevant help article
/export	Optional: [format] (pdf, docx, md)	Exports the current conversation or active document to the specified format

Autocomplete behavior

• Dropdown appears immediately on / keystroke
• Commands are filtered in real-time as the user types (e.g., /dr shows /draft)
• Each item in the dropdown shows: command name, parameter hint, one-line description
• Keyboard navigation: arrow keys to move, Enter to select, Escape to dismiss
• Frequently used commands surface at the top based on user history
• Commands unavailable in the current context (e.g., /matter when no matters exist) are shown grayed out with a tooltip explaining why

Parameter handling

• Parameters after the command name are parsed in order: /draft nda → type=nda
• For commands with required parameters not provided (e.g., /review with no document uploaded), surface a prompt: "What document would you like me to review? You can paste it now."
• Multiple parameters separated by space: /draft employment-contract uae ar → type=employment-contract, jurisdiction=UAE, language=ar
• Quoted parameters for multi-word values: /research "termination for cause" uae

Error handling

Error condition	User-facing message
Unknown command (e.g., /foo)	"I don't recognize /foo. Try /skills to see all available commands."
Command used out of context (e.g., /review with no document)	"[Brief explanation of what's needed] — [prompt to provide it]"
Command unavailable on current plan	"This command requires the [Plan] tier. [Upgrade link]"
