What it does
Provides a Gibraltar-specific legal, regulatory, and compliance OSINT reference for AI assistants, detailing sources of law, court structure, civil procedure divergences, employment law divergences, public-record sources, and compliance frameworks. It emphasizes Gibraltar’s distinct constitution, court hierarchy, and rules, and directs users to official sources and structured directories. The file notes non-legal-advice framing.
How it works
The skill enumerates the source hierarchy and preferred authorities, lists Gibraltar’s court structure (Magistrates' Court, Supreme Court, Court of Appeal, Privy Council, Employment Tribunal), and highlights divergences from English practice (e.g., 14-day deemed service, no Jackson reforms). It details specific statutory acts (Gibraltar Constitution Order 2006, Employment Act 1932, Equal Opportunities Act 2006), and provides example sources and case references (e.g., Francis v Clifton-Psaila, Gibtelecom Ltd v GRA, Marrache v AG). It also includes public-record access points (judgments database, AML/CFT notices, court-fee schedules) and outlines Gibraltar company rules and tax information. It explicitly states it is not legal advice.
When to use it
Use when researching Gibraltar law, regulatory requirements, or public-records to ensure correct jurisdictional application and to locate official sources. Apply when avoiding reliance on English-law precedents for Gibraltar-specific issues and when profiling practice areas or due-diligence workflows.
What it can touch
The skill references access to official Gibraltar sources and public records. It lists URLs and source names for judgments, court forms, practice directions, AML/CFT notices, and company regulatory information.

The whole point of a public record is that it is public. Lawyers use it to advise clients. Compliance teams use it to satisfy regulatory obligations. Businesses use it to check counterparties before signing contracts. The challenge is not access in principle. It is access in practice. This information is scattered across dozens of official websites, formatted inconsistently, and requires you to know exactly where to look. This file is designed to help AI

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add lawve-ai/awesome-legal-skills --skill gibraltar-regulatory-compliance-osint-philip-vasquez --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From lawve-ai/awesome-legal-skills, a repository with 618 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
