What it does
Legal Skills Open is a large open library of Anthropic-format Skills covering 39 jurisdictions and 200+ practice areas. The ru folder covers Russian law and splits into separate Claude Code plugins, each with its own plugin.json. The ru-arbitration plugin ships two Skills: poshlina-calc for calculating the state fee for arbitration court, and case-law-analysis for reviewing court practice. The ru-contracts plugin ships one Skill, ru-legal-contract-review. A shared CLAUDE.md at the ru folder level sets context for the Russian legal system: the hierarchy of legal sources from the Constitution to Supreme Court rulings, discipline around tracking current law editions, and general citation rules, loaded before each plugin's own CLAUDE.md.
Who it is for. For lawyers and business owners handling Russian arbitration court cases or reviewing contracts who already use other Skills from this library.
Good fit when
- You need to quickly calculate the state fee for an arbitration court claim
- You need a review of court practice on a specific issue
- You already use this library's other Skills and want to add Russian law
Not a fit when
- You need a full supply, services or NDA contract review: ru-contracts ships only one general contract-review Skill
- You need Skills for Russian criminal, employment or family law: the ru section does not cover them yet
Example request
Calculate the state fee for an arbitration court claim of 2,400,000 rublesLimitations
The Russian section is small relative to the whole library: two plugins, three Skills, version 0.1.0. The ru-contracts plugin.json lists its language as English even though the description text is in Russian, which looks like a metadata inconsistency. The whole repository is huge (over 9000 files); install only the ru folder you need, not the entire library.
How to disable. Remove the ru/arbitration and ru/contracts folders from your agent's installed plugins or skills.
FAQ
Do I need to clone the whole repository?
No, the repository is huge; it is enough to download the ru/arbitration or ru/contracts folder, for example with git sparse-checkout.
Are there Skills for other areas of Russian law?
As checked, ru currently lists only arbitration procedure and a general contract review plugin; the rest of the library mostly covers other jurisdictions.

README in short
The library-wide README describes 3,500+ Skills across 39 jurisdictions and 200+ practice plugins in the Anthropic SKILL.md format, compatible with Claude Code, Cowork, Cursor and other MCP clients, under Apache 2.0. The ru folder's own README names it the Russian Federation jurisdiction, lists the current ru-arbitration plugin with fee calculations and practice analysis, and points to a shared CLAUDE.md with the hierarchy of legal sources and citation rules.
