This repo is a plugin for a tool called OpenClaw, an AI-agent platform similar in idea to coding assistants but aimed at general work. The plugin's purpose is to let your agent answer regulatory and legal questions using real text from official government sources, rather than making up citations. The README pitches this as a fix for legal hallucinations: when you ask about a specific GDPR article or a customs classification, the agent looks it up in a backing service called Cleo Legal and returns the actual document. The plugin adds six slash commands inside OpenClaw. /cleo-search returns the real text of a regulation, /cleo-classify guesses an HS customs code for a product description with a confidence rating, /cleo-compliance returns a combined decision pack for cross-border shipments including tariffs, dual-use checks, and EAEU obligations, /cleo-doc fetches the full text of a document by its UUID, /cleo-changes lists regulations that moved in the last N days, and /cleo-setup walks through first-run signup. Five extra skills (regulatory research, GDPR data protection, customs classification, dual-use export control, and sanctions screening) auto-trigger when the agent detects a matching question. The data side claims 66 official sources covering more than 100 countries, including EUR-Lex, Legifrance, the UK and US registers, BOE, Normattiva, the Eurasian Economic Commission, GOST, and WIPO Lex as a fallback. There is a free tier of 3 lookups, then paid plans through Cleo Labs, with composite calls counting as 5 units each. Under the hood the plugin is described as a declarative bundle: it ships manifests, six command markdown files, five skill markdown files, and an MCP config that points OpenClaw at a hosted MCP server with 19 tools. The actual backend lives in a separate Cleo Labs repository. The plugin source itself is MIT-0 licensed, has zero stars, and requires OpenClaw 2026.3.24-beta.2 or newer and Node 22 or higher.
