What it does

Case Retrieval is an agent skill from THUYRan/Legal-Skills-Chinese. 当用户需要查找与当前法律问题相关的类似案例、相关判决、裁判规则时触发此技能。典型触发场景包括:用户明确要求查找类似案例或判例;需要通过既往裁判支撑法律论点;进行案件预判需要参考同类判决;撰写法律文书需要引用权威案例;分析某一法律问题的司法实践趋势;对比不同法院、不同时期对同一问题的裁判立场。关键词包括但不限于:类似案例、相关判决、判例检索、裁判规则、同类案件、指导性案例、典型案例、司法观点、裁判要旨等。

It sits in Legal & Compliance.

When your agent uses it

  • Legal & Compliance work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/case-retrieval”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. 搜索引擎检索:谷歌、百度等设置关键词"XX裁判观点、XX裁判要旨、XX大数据报告、XX汇总、XX案例、XX干货"
  2. 微信文章搜索:几乎所有的专业法律问题,都会有人通过微信公众号进行分析、汇总
  3. 数据库初步检索:北大法宝、威科先行、法信等平台的"类案检索"功能

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c31ef1f. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Case Retrieval loads about 6.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 861 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~55
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~6.7k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 861 words (~6,683 tokens).
