Skill: specialized legal rule-mapping

[Case 2]

• Initial Environment: A database of state housing statutes (e.g., Alabama Code). The agent must determine if a tenant has specific defenses during an eviction process.
• Real Question: Does the law specify rebuttals available to tenants subject to eviction proceedings in Alabama?
• Real Trajectory: The agent navigates the Alabama Code, specifically moving past generic 'eviction' headers to find substantive defenses. It identifies Section 35-9A-407 and 35-9A-204, which detail remedies for landlord non-compliance as valid counterclaims. It records that acceptance of rent with knowledge of default also acts as a waiver of the landlord's right to terminate.
• Real Answer: Yes
• Why this demonstrates the capability: The query is a functional question about 'rebuttals,' but the statutes use technical terms like 'counterclaim,' 'defense in retaliatory action,' and 'waiver of right.' Success requires the agent to understand the conceptual mapping between the layman's 'rebuttal' and the legal 'counterclaim/defense.'

Pipeline Execution Instructions

To synthesize data for this capability, you must strictly follow a 3-phase pipeline. Do not hallucinate steps. Read the corresponding reference file for each phase sequentially:

1. Phase 1: Environment Exploration Read the exploration guidelines to discover raw knowledge seeds: references/EXPLORATION.md

2. Phase 2: Trajectory Selection Once Phase 1 is complete, read the selection criteria to evaluate the trajectory: references/SELECTION.md

3. Phase 3: Data Synthesis Once a trajectory passes Phase 2, read the synthesis instructions to generate the final data: references/SYNTHESIS.md
