What it does
A library of 38 skills for agents that read `SKILL.md`: 36 atomic and 2 composite. An atomic skill does one operation such as statute lookup, extraction of legal elements, deduction, argument strength assessment or a norm-validity check. The composite skills `judgment-document-generation` and `legal-judgment-prediction` introduce no new methods and call the atomic ones in a fixed chain: case elements, concepts, disputed issues, statutes, cases, deduction, formatting. Each `SKILL.md` holds trigger conditions, capability limits, steps and output format. The retrieval skills describe only the method. Real statutes and court cases need an MCP legal-database service connected to them, with Pkulaw verified. Without a database, `[待检索]` marks unverified references.
Who it is for. Lawyers and legal analysts working with PRC law who need agent-made analysis drafts for later review.
Good fit when
- Disputed issues and legally relevant elements need to be pulled out of a case description.
- Similar cases and statutes are searched for an argument and the agent must flag everything not verified in the database.
- A draft court document is prepared and the chain from facts to formatting is walked step by step.
- The strength of both sides' arguments has to be assessed and an evidence chain built.
Not a fit when
- You need legal advice or an opinion handed to a client without a lawyer's review.
- The case belongs to another legal system such as Hong Kong, Taiwan or common-law countries.
- Real statutes and cases are required but no legal database is connected through MCP.
Example request
Pull the disputed issues and legal elements out of this case description, then prepare each side's argumentation and mark every statute reference not verified in a database.Limitations
The material targets mainland-China statutory law. For other jurisdictions the authors ask you to rework the legal premises yourself. Skill texts are in Chinese, an English version sits in the `English/` directory, and there is no Russian. Output counts as a draft: the final decision belongs to a licensed lawyer. The CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 license forbids commercial use and derivative works. Searching real cases and statutes works only after an MCP legal-database service is connected, and Pkulaw needs your own token.
How to disable. Delete the copied skill folders from the agent's skills directory. If you connected an MCP legal-database service, remove its entry from the client settings.
FAQ
How do I add the skills to Claude Code?
Copy the needed directories from `skills/` into the agent's skills directory. The README has no install command; a skill is picked up from its `SKILL.md` description.
Where do real cases and statutes come from?
The retrieval skills describe the method and are not tied to a database. The verified way is connecting the Pkulaw MCP service with a token from its console.
Can the output go straight to a client?
No. The authors call the output a draft for review by a practising lawyer, not a substitute for advice.
How many skills are there and how are they organized?
There are 38: 36 atomic skills, each doing one operation, and 2 composite skills that call the atomic ones in a fixed chain. They are grouped into 7 categories.
Which law do the skills target?
The statutory law of mainland China. For other jurisdictions the legal premises have to be adjusted by the user.

The README explains the split into atomic and composite skills, lists them in seven categories and shows how to connect a legal-database MCP. A separate warning states that the output does not replace a lawyer.
