A skill for setting up and using Galpi, a retrieval service for Korean statutes, local ordinances, administrative rules, legal interpretations, precedents, and historical provisions. It also supports citations from HWPX documents, a Korean word-processing format.

Use it to install or diagnose Galpi, search Korean legal sources, retrieve provisions as of a chosen date, examine precedents, and produce HWPX-based citations.

It provides a defined process for configuring access, finding the correct legal material, and checking results against the source. It keeps the tool focused on retrieving evidence rather than making legal decisions.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00098	$0.01026
Opus 5.5	$0.00039	$0.00410
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00020	$0.00205

Security

Grade A, and why

galpi-law 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 2mo ago.

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.

Galpi Law

Use Galpi as a source-retrieval tool, not as a chatbot or final legal decision maker.

First-run decision

Locate the Galpi repository. If the user supplied only a GitHub URL, clone it to a persistent folder and run npm run setup from that folder.
Run node scripts/galpi.mjs doctor --json before assuming setup is complete.
If OC is missing, ask whether the user already has a Law Open API OC.
If they do not, run npm run guide and direct them through onboarding/README.md. Do not invent an OC or claim approval succeeded.
If they do, run npm run setup. Let the installer validate the four required list/detail targets and the optional precedent target, then register available local clients.
When a required file is absent, use the matching sample in examples/mcp and explain where it belongs.

Read references/clients.md when connecting a client. Read references/api-contract.md when diagnosing identifiers or API responses.

Retrieval workflow

Call korean_law_search with one target and a focused query. Continue automatically only for resolution.status exact, alias, or similar; stop and present candidates for ambiguous.
Use only the returned id for detail tools. Never substitute 자치법규ID for the ordinance serial number or 안건번호 for an interpretation ID.
Prefer korean_law_get_provision for a cited article, branch article, paragraph, item, or subitem. Do not scan a truncated full body to decide that a provision is absent.
Use korean_law_search_precedent for a case number. Treat official-DB not_found with partial coverage as unconfirmed, not nonexistent.
Use korean_law_get_at_date when contract date, disposition date, amendment date, transitional provisions, or retroactivity matter.
Use korean_law_extract_citations for text or HWPX. Verify each extracted citation separately; contentMatch=not_assessed is not a legal-match finding.
Use korean_law_compare_provision_versions for a generated two-date comparison and label it separately from an official new-old table. Use korean_law_get_transitional_provisions before deciding temporal applicability.
Use korean_law_check_access when authorization or endpoint coverage is uncertain.
Report title, exact provision, source URL, source ID, effective date, retrieval time, verification status, provenance, and coverage. Tell the user to confirm the official original before a final decision.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
