KM professionals become workflow designers, prompt librarians and AI adoption stewards

The Claude for Legal agent model makes a talent shift visible: someone has to select, adapt, tune, govern and improve workflow agents, practice profiles, connectors and review gates. The work resembles classic KM but with new artifacts: agent instructions, prompts, playbook deviations, source-attribution rules and continuous monitoring routines. The future KM professional is less a repository manager and more a workflow architect who turns tacit know-how into governed, repeatable AI action.
