# UseJunior
Execution components for legal workflows that run inside ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and other MCP-compatible agents.

## What is UseJunior
UseJunior builds the execution layer for legal workflows.
It is not a contract review destination and it does not ask lawyers to switch AI systems; the components plug into whatever agent a team already uses.
Lawyers define the workflow. AI executes it.

## How to navigate this site as an agent

Append `.md` to any page URL to fetch the markdown twin. For example, `/products/safe-docx` becomes `/products/safe-docx.md`. The same content is also available via `Accept: text/markdown` content negotiation on the HTML URL.

- Transparent. Tests publish pass/fail publicly. SafeDocx: 992 automated tests. Open Agreements: 481 automated tests.
