Source-grounded legal first-look skill for German law. The repository contains
Markdown prompts, a configurable statute registry and a small fetch tool for
official German law texts. It is designed for local self-use in an LLM
environment such as Claude Code.

## Audience

- LLM users who want a structured first legal orientation workflow for their own questions
- Developers evaluating source-grounded legal AI prompt and agent patterns
- Compliance reviewers checking purpose limits, data flow and disclaimer language
- Researchers comparing statute-grounded legal assessment workflows

## Important Boundaries

- Not legal advice and not a law firm.
- Not intended for hosted legal services or third-party case handling.
- No deadline monitoring, no completeness guarantee and no actuality guarantee.
- Legal correspondence and running deadlines require professional legal advice.
- The repository contains no AI model and no hosted AI service.
