SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires wkhtmltopdf, tesseract.

What problem does it solve? Legal research requires locating accurate statutes, court rules, and case law for a specific jurisdiction, then verifying that no contradictory authority exists. Doing this manually is slow and error-prone, and producing a professional memo adds formatting overhead. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Jurisdiction-Specific Research: Identifies applicable statutes, court rules, and leading cases based on the jurisdiction and procedural posture you specify. - Authority Verification: Cross-references conclusions against multiple authoritative sources and scans for later contradictory or limiting authority. - Professional Memo Generation: Produces legal research memos as HTML converted to PDF via wkhtmltopdf, with optional OCR support for scanned documents. - Use Case: Ask for a research memo on a statute of limitations question in California civil procedure, and receive a cited, verified PDF memo covering controlling statutes and leading cases. ## Quick Start Research the leading case law and statutes on breach of contract damages in New York and generate a legal research memo as a PDF.
