What it solves

This project provides a comprehensive set of experimental AI skills, plugins, and workflows specifically tailored for the German legal profession. It addresses the gap between general-purpose LLMs and the rigorous methodological requirements of German law, such as specific claim bases (Anspruchsgrundlagen), examination structures (Prüfungsaufbau), and formal citation standards for statutes and case law.

How it works

Built as an extension of Anthropic's "claude-for-legal" skills, the project offers a library of prompts and configurations organized into several formats:

• Plugins: Installable packages for specific legal areas (e.g., labor law, insolvency law, data protection).
• Skills: Narrowly defined workflows for specific tasks within a plugin.
• Workshop Prompts: Detailed, standalone Markdown files for complex, multi-step legal processes.
• Quickstart Prompts: Compact versions for rapid entry into a case.
• Test Files: Anonymized document collections used to test workflows without using real client data.

Who it’s for

Legal professionals in Germany, including lawyers, in-house counsel, legal consultants, and judges. It also serves as a training tool for law students, referendaries, and tutors to practice legal methodology and drafting.

Highlights

• Massive Scale: Includes 235 plugins and over 22,000 skills covering a vast array of legal fields from BGB to AI Act compliance.
• Methodological Rigor: Focuses on the standard German legal method, including the Gutachtenstil (expert opinion style) and official court layouts.
• Specialized Tooling: Features dedicated "workshops" for legislative drafting (Legistik), judgment writing (Urteilsbauer), and academic legal writing (Hausarbeitenmacher).
• Formal Standards: Enforces specific output formats for legal documents, such as Times New Roman 11pt and decimal numbering for pleadings and memos.
