Counsel's Desk

What it does

• Stops recognised publishing commands (Git push and merge, GitHub CLI merge, Vercel production deployment and Court filings), even where your own push: or deploy: permission lines allow them.
• Tells every agent, when its session starts: "Never paste, upload or send client or privileged material to any outside tool, website or service your user has not named."
• Tells every agent, when its session starts: "Cite every legal authority you rely on with a pinpoint reference, and say which jurisdiction you have assumed."
• Tells every agent, when its session starts: "Mark anything you draft as a draft for a lawyer's review, not legal advice, and flag any point where the law is unsettled."

Peregrini chose this publisher. It has not checked each rule. A book cannot vary the Mandate, and no instruction in it permits anything the Mandate reserves to your own permission lines. Its blocks are added to yours: where two books block different things, both apply. Where its instructions conflict with your own, the agent says so and asks.
