Law checker

Skill ellmos-ai/skills/skills/utilities/law-checker

Points to the standalone module law-checker ("Legal Department"): source-grounded AI first-look legal assessments for German law with a statute registry and a statute-embodiment agent. Use this skill when a situation, contract, official notice, or legal question under German law should be checked with exact citations (article/section, paragraph, sentence) -- with a clear boundary: AI-assisted first orientation, not a substitute for a lawyer.From its SKILL.md

law-checker (Legal Department) -- Pointer Skill (Deutsch)

This skill is a thin pointer (wrapper) to the standalone, public module repository ellmos-ai/law-checker (MIT license, public). The actual skill lives there -- this repository only links to it and documents installation, so the module is discoverable through the central skill catalog.

What the module does

law-checker produces source-grounded AI first-look legal assessments for German law:

  • Statute registry (config.json): togglable statutes; every statute claim must be backed by locally fetched official law texts (article or section, paragraph, sentence where needed, short quote, source, retrieval date).
  • Statute-embodiment agent (agents/gesetzbuch.md): a generic agent that answers "from inside the statute" for any registered law -- scales to arbitrary statutes added to the registry.
  • Separate case-law layer: court decisions are cited only after web verification (court, date, docket number, ECLI where available).
  • Risk and escalation workflow: report format with a risk-level scale, deadline discipline, and a lawyer-specialty routing matrix.

Boundaries (important)

  • AI-assisted first orientation only, not a substitute for individual legal advice, and not performed by a licensed lawyer.
  • Not a law firm, not a hosted legal service, not a deadline calendar.
  • If real legal mail is involved (warning letter, official notice, lawsuit, deadline): secure the original document, note the deadline, and consult a qualified lawyer -- do not automate the matter.

Installation (generic, no local paths)

  1. Clone the module: 
    git clone https://github.com/ellmos-ai/law-checker.git <clone-path>
  2. Adopt <clone-path>/SKILL.md into your own skill environment (e.g. ~/.claude/skills/law-checker/ or the equivalent for your agent runtime).
  3. Set the module path in the adopted SKILL.md and its references to <clone-path> -- do NOT commit real local paths or hostnames into a versioned skill environment.
  4. Load the statute registry: python <clone-path>/_tools/gesetze_fetch.py (fetches the configured official statute texts; the texts themselves are deliberately not in the repo, to avoid redistributing stale portal snapshots).
  5. For structure, license, and liability details, see the module repo's README.

Origin of this pointer skill

This wrapper was added on 2026-07-23 as a showcase entry for the ellmos-ai/skills repository. There is no code duplication -- maintenance and versioning stay solely in the ellmos-ai/law-checker module repo.
