In plain English

This project is a collection of AI-powered legal assistant tools built on top of Claude, adapted specifically for Chinese law and legal practice. It is a localized version of an original Anthropic project that covered American law. Instead of American statutes and courts, this version addresses Chinese law across areas like commercial contracts, labor disputes, civil litigation procedure, privacy and data protection, intellectual property, corporate governance, legal education, and case law research. The project ships as twelve plugins for Claude Code, one per practice area, plus connectors to outside case law and productivity tools. Legal professionals install one or more plugins, for example a commercial law plugin or a litigation plugin, then run a short setup interview so the AI understands their specific practice area and prior work. After that setup, they use named commands to run real tasks: reviewing vendor contracts, drafting board or shareholder resolutions, checking employment termination risk, tracking regulatory compliance deadlines, or building a due diligence issue list from data room files. The AI pulls from a tiered set of legal sources, from official statute text down to informal guidance, and marks every claim with a citation tag so a lawyer can trace where it came from. Anything uncertain is flagged for human review rather than presented as settled. The README is explicit that every output is a draft for attorney review, not legal advice, and that the supervising lawyer remains responsible for anything sent externally. The project does not represent Anthropic's position on any legal matter. You would use this if you are a Chinese lawyer, in-house counsel, or law firm that wants AI drafting help grounded in actual Chinese statutes rather than generic or US-centric guidance. It runs through Claude Code and is written in Python. The full README is longer than what was shown.
