What it does

Systematic Interpretation is an agent skill from THUYRan/Legal-Skills-Chinese. Systematic interpretation (体系解释) addresses disputes over meaning or scope of application that remain after textual interpretation, by reference to the provision’s position in the legal system (which statute, book, chapter, or section), the meaning of related norms, or what the law as a system properly requires, so as to adopt the interpretation most consistent with systemic coherence and thereby clarify the provision’s meaning and scope from a systemic perspective. Trigger conditions (invoke if any one is met):

Its SKILL.md is about 3.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Legal & Compliance.

When your agent uses it

  • Conditions (invoke if any one is met):

Example prompts

  • “/systematic-interpretation”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Under textual interpretation, the legal norm yields two or more possible meanings and none can be chosen.
  2. Textual interpretation has fixed the core scope of application, but the borderline remains fuzzy and needs clarification.
  3. Under textual interpretation, a legal fact is covered by the wording of two or more norms or clusters of norms, and it is unclear which…

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.

    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

Systematic Interpretation loads about 3.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 136 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,932 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~136
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.4k

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.
