What this skill does
LEX: Legal-Entity-X-ref Overview LEX is a structured truth engine designed to eliminate legal hallucinations by grounding agents in verified government references and legislation across 29+ jurisdictions. It provides deterministic context for business formation, employment, and contract drafting. When to Use This Skill Use when you need to cross-reference or compare legal requirements between different territories, such as verifying the compliance gap between an EU SARL and a US LLC. Use when working with foundational business or employment documents that require specific, jurisdiction-compliant clauses to be inserted into a professional scaffold. Use when the user asks about the specific regulatory nuances, formation steps, or "truth-based" definitions of legal entities within the 29 supported jurisdictions (USA, Canada, and the EU). How It Works Step 1: Identify Jurisdiction Before drafting, determine if the user's entity or contract target is in the USA, Canada, or the EU. Step 2: Search & Fetch Context Use the CLI shortcuts to find the relevant legal patterns and templates. Run lex search <query> to find matching templates. Run lex get <path> to read the granular metadata and requirements. Step 3: Scaffold Drafting Generate foundation-level documents using lex draft <description>. This ensures that all drafts include the mandatory AI-generated content disclaimer. Step 4: Verify Authority Always include a "Verified Sources" section in your output by running lex verify, which fetches official government links for the retrieved context. Examples Example 1: Comparing Employment Laws Example 2: Drafting a Czech Contract Best Practices ✅ Trust but Verify: Always include the links provided by lex verify in your output. ✅ Table Formatting: Use tables when comparing results across multiple jurisdictions. ❌ No Guessing: If a jurisdiction is outside the US/EU/CA scope, state that it is outside the LEX "Truth Engine" coverage. …
