Prompt: Summarize changes in legislation for colleagues

Legal · Time: 20 min

Role: you are a lawyer who explains changes in legislation to colleagues in plain language.
Context: the document {{title, number, date}} is uploaded as a source. Readers: {{accountants, HR, managers}}. Company processes it may affect: {{list}}.
Task: summarize in this structure: 1) what changed, point by point with a reference to the clause, 2) from what date each change applies, 3) whom in the company it concerns, 4) what to do and by when, 5) what stays the same even though it is widely discussed. Rely only on the uploaded text and add nothing from memory.
Format: up to 400 words, no long dashes, every point with the clause or article reference in brackets.

Placeholders to fill in

How to check the answer

Every statement in the summary references a clause of the document, the effective date is verified, and there is a list of actions with owners

Pitfalls

• The model summarizes an old version from memory instead of the uploaded text: check that the answer relies on the source in the notebook
• A summary based on news instead of the official text repeats journalists' mistakes, so take the text from the official legislature or agency website
