The starter Workspace Instructions template — the `anylegal.md` seed a new workspace gets, written to be edited by the user. A short, bracketed skeleton covering Identity (organisation, role, jurisdiction), Preferences (language, tone, risk tolerance), the default representing party, six review focus areas (indemnification, liability, termination, governing law, confidentiality, IP), and a Custom Instructions section. It is the "HOW you should behave" context layer the system prompt injects each turn. When you want to see the default Instructions a fresh workspace ships with, or what the setup skill personalises.
