Why these modes exist
Celsus separates normal case notes from AI actions.
That gives the legal team:
- clearer intent
- narrower scope
- better auditability
- less risk of accidentally sending the wrong material to the model
Research
Use Research when you want help answering a legal question.
Best for:
- targeted legal issues
- questions tied to a jurisdiction
- questions where selected documents or authorities matter
Better prompt:
Research whether this notice is likely to satisfy the statutory timing requirement under English law.
Worse prompt:
What is the law of tort?
Review
Use Review when you want Celsus to analyze selected material.
Best for:
- contract review
- pleading review
- issue spotting in a bundle
- checking a document against selected authorities or case context
Draft
Use Draft when you want Celsus to generate a bounded first draft.
Best for:
- issue summaries
- internal memos
- letters
- structured outlines
- draft clauses or revisions tied to a known scope
What happens when you run Celsus
When you use an AI mode, Celsus should use the visible scope you selected, not the entire workspace automatically.
That may include:
- the current issue thread
- selected case documents
- accepted case memory
- allowed authority sources
Recommended workflow
- Choose the right mode.
- Confirm the visible scope.
- Write a precise instruction.
- Run Celsus.
- Review the answer, sources, and limitations.
- Record the outcome in the case if it matters.
Golden rule
Treat AI output as reviewed working material, not final legal advice or final work product.
