What is Korean Law & Case Search Skill?
This skill enables developers and legal professionals to programmatically access the comprehensive database of the Korea Legislation Research Institute (MOLEG). By leveraging the law.go.kr and data.go.kr APIs, it streamlines the process of finding specific statutes, article details, and court rulings. It is an essential component for any Openclaw Skills collection focused on legal automation or research.
The skill bridges the gap between complex legal databases and actionable insights by providing structured responses that prioritize practical steps backed by legal authority. It handles API authentication, fallback logic, and data parsing across JSON and XML formats to ensure consistent output and reliable data retrieval for the user.

- Verifying current law effectiveness dates and related administrative rules in real-time.
How Korean Law & Case Search Skill Works
- The skill analyzes the user query to extract legal keywords and match them against the internal playbook strategy.

- It searches for court decisions via case_search.sh to provide judicial context and precedents.
- For general inquiries, life_law.sh retrieves simplified, citizen-friendly legal information.
- The skill compiles all data into a structured Markdown response that leads with actionable steps followed by legal evidence.
