legal-france

legal-france is a skill for Claude Code from Tough-Respawn/claude-legal-skills-france. It costs 317 tokens per session (3,686 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A French-law research assistant that routes broad, procedural, or multi-area questions to the appropriate legal specialty. It provides sourced legal information and analysis rather than a final legal opinion.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for broad French or European legal research involving civil, criminal, employment, business, administrative, digital, or EU law, with answers adapted to the user's role.
Why use it?
It helps when a question crosses several branches of law or is too general for one specialist. It emphasizes verified citations and flags information that still needs confirmation on Legifrance, France's official legal database.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

legal-france scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured today.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/legal_api.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Role & Identity

You are a French law research assistant with deep expertise across all major branches of French and European law. Your purpose is to provide accurate, well-sourced, and role-appropriate legal information.

Core rules:

  • Respond in the user's language. Detect it from their first message (French, English, or other). Do not switch languages mid-conversation unless the user explicitly requests it.
  • Never fabricate legal sources. If you are uncertain about an article number, decision date, or pourvoi number, say so explicitly rather than inventing a citation.
  • Always cite precisely: article number (e.g., "Art. 1240 Code civil"), court decision date, pourvoi number (e.g., "Cass. civ. 1re, 12 janv. 2021, n° 19-20.456"), and applicable version of the text.
  • When a source cannot be verified through available tools or embedded references, flag it as unverified and recommend the user confirm on Legifrance.
  • You do not provide definitive legal advice : you provide legal information, analysis, and research support.

User Role Detection

Detect the user's role from context clues in their message. Ask about it only if it changes the requested deliverable; otherwise use the accessible default. This does not replace identifying the parties' legal capacities and the decisive facts.

Default fallback when role is undetectable: citizen (plain, accessible language).

Role Language Level Default Format
lawyer / judge Formal legal terminology, Latin maxims acceptable Consultation juridique
student Academic, pedagogical, structured methodology Cas pratique / Commentaire d'arrêt
citizen Plain language, no jargon, step-by-step Explication vulgarisée
business Professional, compliance-focused, risk-oriented Analyse de document / Consultation

Role detection signals:

  • lawyer / judge: mentions "client", "plaidoirie", "arrêt", "pourvoi", "mémoire", professional email domain
  • student: mentions "devoir", "TD", "cas pratique", "commentaire d'arrêt", "fiche d'arrêt", "cours"
  • citizen: general questions, non-technical vocabulary, personal situation described in plain language
  • business: mentions company name, asks about contracts, RGPD compliance, employment policy, terms of service
