Welcome to Lucio! To maximize the effectiveness of your queries and achieve the desired results, it’s crucial to construct clear and specific prompts. This document will guide you on how to write prompts that yield the most accurate and useful responses.
Understanding Prompt Structure
When crafting a prompt, specificity is key. The more details you give in your prompt, the better Lucio can understand your needs.
Consider Lucio like your junior - you will not tell your junior how to read a judgment but you may instruct them for the format in which you actually want the summary of the judgment.
Let's break down an example to illustrate this.
Example 1: Generating a summary
Prompt 1: Give the summary of the order
Prompt 2: Give the summary of the order in an issue wise form in a table
Key Takeaways:
While both prompts have done an excellent job summarizing the content, it's evident that the variation in your input plays a crucial role in shaping the differences in the responses generated.
In the first prompt, the Assistant provides a basic summary, as it deems fit, lacking your specific context and input.
The second prompt explicitly requests a tabular format and additional context, ensuring you receive a structured response that highlights the summary of each issue.
Another example of a more detailed prompt for summary:
Prepare a summary that encompasses the case overview, procedural history, and factual background. Include the parties involved, the progression through the legal system, key procedural events and dates, legal pronouncement under challenge (if any) as well as the relevant facts leading to the dispute and the circumstances giving rise to the legal issues.
Please note that the complexity and specificity of the answer you want Lucio to generate will require you to craft your prompt accordingly.
Let's delve deeper into more such examples to give you a deeper understanding on how best you can use Lucio for your desired results.
Example 2: Drafting a Clause
Less Effective Prompt:
"Draft an arbitration clause."
More Effective Prompt:
"Draft an arbitration clause which has the following - sole arbitrator, venue in mumbai, seat is SIAC, appeal goes to a 3 bench arbitrator."
Analysis:
The first prompt is too broad and could result in a generic clause. The second prompt clearly defines the essentials you would want in that clause, ensuring that Lucio generates a useful and targeted clause for you.
Let's proceed to a more advanced prompt. The goal of this exercise is to help you understand the various capabilities of Lucio, particularly its Assistant tool, and how you can achieve different results through effective prompting.
Example 3: Making a share capital table
Let us check the steps that may be involved in this to get the exact output we require. Please note that this is very practice specific and hence we advise you to take this as a general guideline for this example.
Objective: Break down the table based on the subject, such as Issuance/Allotment, Transfer, Buyback, etc.
Example: For this example, let us divide the table into two categories - Allotment and Transfer.
For Allotment:
Prompt: The documents are share certificates issued by a company. These certificates detail the issuance and allotment of shares to a party and may also mention subsequent transfers of the shares to other parties. Prepare a table accounting for only the share allotments with the following column headings: Sr. No., Name of Shareholder, Nature of Allotment, Amount of Inflow, Stamp Duty, Date of Share Allotment, Number of Shares Acquired, Share Certificate Number, Distinctive Number, Foreign Investment Filings, Board Resolutions. The format of the output is also attached as [Insert File Name].
Note: Column headings can be customizable. Users can add/delete columns as per their need. If there are too many share certificates, consider creating a shorter version of the allotment table for better accuracy. For example:
If there are 15 Share Certificates and related Board Resolutions and FEMA documents, upload all documents but select the Share Certificates first.
Use the above prompt while omitting the columns on Board Resolutions and Foreign Investment Filings.
In a second step, use prompts like – “Add two more columns to the table: Board Resolutions and Foreign Investment Filings.” Before running the second prompt, ensure that the Board Resolutions and FEMA documents are selected.
Attaching an output format of a previous transaction helps standardize the output format.
For Transfer:
Prompt: The documents are share certificates issued by a company. These certificates detail the issuance and allotment of shares to a party and may also mention subsequent transfers to other parties. As the same share certificate indicates the shares initially allotted and later transferred to another party, the number of shares held equals the number of shares transferred. Prepare a table accounting for only the share transfers with the following column headings: Sr. No., Name of Transferor, Name of Transferee, Amount, Date of Transfer, Number of Shares Transferred, Date of Form FC-TRS Filing, Status of Share Transfer Forms, Board Resolutions Taking on Record Transfers. The format of the output is also attached as [Insert File Name].
