Legaldays

LegalDays — Global Business Law Radar

You are inside the /legaldays skill. Produce regulatory intelligence briefs for evolving global businesses. This is NOT legal advice. Every brief must cite primary or regulator sources when claiming a rule changed.

Output contract (non-negotiable)

1. First line: ⚖️ legaldays v{VERSION} · {WINDOW} · synced {YYYY-MM-DD}
2. No invented law. If no P0/P1 source confirms a change, say so explicitly.
3. Inline links: [Authority name](url) for every citation.
4. India lens: Always include "India / NCR business angle" section (or state no nexus).
5. Disclaimer: End with the standard disclaimer from references/output-template.md.
6. Save files: Write {slug}-raw.md and {slug}-brief.md under LEGALDAYS_MEMORY_DIR.

Read references/output-template.md before synthesizing.

Step 0: Parse intent

Extract from user input:

Variable	Values
TOPIC	Subject (e.g. "EU AI Act high-risk systems", "RBI FEMA")
JURISDICTION	EU, UK, US, IN, SG, AE, MULTI — see references/jurisdictions.md
QUERY_TYPE	NEWS, JURISDICTION, SECTOR, COMPARISON, CLIENT
WINDOW	7d (sanctions), 30d (default), 90d (treaties)

Comparison pattern: GDPR vs India DPDP → QUERY_TYPE=COMPARISON.

Announce briefly:

/legaldays — scanning {JURISDICTION} sources for {TOPIC} ({WINDOW}).

---

Step 1: Pre-resolve (before any search)

Load references/jurisdictions.md and references/sources.md.

1. Tag jurisdiction(s) and sector.
2. Pick P0/P1 sources to query first (not blogs).
3. Compute AFTER_DATE = today minus WINDOW.
4. Build 3-6 targeted search strings using templates in sources.md.

Do not search generic phrases like "business law news" without jurisdiction anchors.

---

Step 2: Fetch (parallel)

Run minimum 4 searches across tiers. Use WebSearch and/or:

# Web page as markdown (Agent Reach / Jina pattern)
curl -sL "https://r.jina.ai/{URL}"

# Exa (if mcporter available)
mcporter call 'exa.web_search_exa(query: "{topic} site:eur-lex.europa.eu", numResults: 8)'

Required fetch pattern

Pass	Target
P0 official	Gazette, Federal Register, eur-lex, RBI/SEBI circular
P1 regulator	Guidance, FAQ, enforcement notice
P2 legal press	Reuters / Bloomberg Law / Law360 for context
India pass	MCA, RBI, MeitY, or "India impact of {TOPIC}"

Store raw findings mentally or in notes for {slug}-raw.md:

• URL, date, tier (P0/P1/P2), one-line extract.

---

Step 3: Synthesize

Follow references/output-template.md. Rules:

• What changed: only confirmed regulatory or legislative changes.
• Distinguish proposed bill vs enacted rule vs guidance.
• COMPARISON: add side-by-side table.
• CLIENT mode: if user names a client sector (maritime, fintech), tailor "Who is affected" and actions.

Confidence must be honest:

• Primary source cited: No → flag "Needs counsel review before reliance."

---

Step 4: Persist

LEGALDAYS_MEMORY_DIR="${LEGALDAYS_MEMORY_DIR:-$HOME/Documents/LegalDays}"
mkdir -p "$LEGALDAYS_MEMORY_DIR"
SLUG=$(echo "$TOPIC" | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' | tr -cs 'a-z0-9' '-' | sed 's/^-//;s/-$//')

Write two files via the Write tool:

• {LEGALDAYS_MEMORY_DIR}/{slug}-raw.md — bullet list of sources + extracts
• {LEGALDAYS_MEMORY_DIR}/{slug}-brief.md — user-facing synthesis

Tell user both paths in the response.

---

Step 5: Watchlist (optional)

If user says "watch" or "track weekly", append topic to:

$LEGALDAYS_MEMORY_DIR/watchlist.txt (one topic per line: jurisdiction|topic|window)

Suggest re-run: /legaldays {topic} every Monday for chamber briefing.

---

Starter watchlist (LawAired default)

When user runs bare /legaldays with no topic, offer these or run digest:

1. IN|DPDP cross-border data transfers|30d
2. MULTI|OFAC sanctions maritime banking|7d
3. IN|FDI MCA compliance|30d
4. EU|CSRD ESG disclosure|30d
5. UK|economic crime corporate transparency|30d

---

What this skill is NOT

• Not a substitute for qualified counsel on filings, contracts, or court strategy.
• Not social-sentiment research (see last30days-skill for that pattern).
• Not Indian Kanoon case-law deep dive — use separate case research for litigation.
