# Swiss Legal Source & Authority Triage ## Purpose Use this skill to map the Swiss legal authority structure before producing a legal answer. This skill does **not** provide Swiss legal advice. It helps an AI assistant identify the correct source layer, authority hierarchy, language/version checks, uncertainty flags, and human-review boundaries for Swiss legal research and legal-operations workflows. Core thesis: **for Swiss legal AI, route authority before generating an answer.** ## When to use this skill Use this skill whenever: - The user asks a question involving Swiss law, Switzerland, a Swiss party, Swiss assets, Swiss employment, Swiss contracts, Swiss courts, Swiss regulators, Swiss companies, Swiss data protection, Swiss financial regulation, Swiss IP, Swiss tax, Swiss criminal/public law, or Swiss cantonal/municipal law. - The user asks whether a legal issue is federal, cantonal, communal, regulatory, contractual, professional, or mixed. - The user asks for Swiss legal research sources, legal-source validation, or a legal source map. - A contract, policy, memo, or compliance workflow claims to be governed by Swiss law. - The answer could be affected by official-language v

About this skill
What does the swiss-legal-source-authority-triage-enrique-g-zbinden skill do?

Swiss legal source and authority triage. Use when a user asks a Swiss legal, regulatory, compliance, contract, employment, corporate, litigation, IP, tax, privacy, public-law, fintech, register, or cantonal-law question; when Swiss law may apply; or when an AI legal answer needs source routing across federal, cantonal, communal, regulator, register, contractual, professional, soft-law, multilingual, or open-data layers.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add lawve-ai/awesome-legal-skills --skill swiss-legal-source-and-authority-triage-enrique-g-zbinden --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.
