Doctrinal Research

A practice-area skill: it carries legal knowledge — a doctrine, a regime, a review standard — and applies it to your material.

What this skill does

Academic research across French, European, and international legal scholarship databases. Use this skill when the user requests searches for doctrinal articles, dissertations, academic books, or university legal publications — including comparative law. Primary sources: ISIDORE (CNRS social sciences aggregator including Cairn.info, Persée, OpenEdition), HAL (French open archive), OpenAlex (global open database of 250M+ works), Semantic Scholar, CrossRef, Persée (direct OAI), and CORE. Covers both francophone AND international legal scholarship with a built-in bilingual workflow for comparative law. Also triggers for: annotated bibliography, state of the art, legal literature review, author search, citation verification, bibliometric analysis.

Where it runs, and how to install it

Agent Skills are a format, not a product feature: a folder with a SKILL.md and whatever files it needs. Nothing inside one is model-specific.

Claude
Drop the skill folder into ~/.claude/skills/, or upload it in Settings → Capabilities. Claude loads it when the description matches what you asked for.
Claude Code
Same folder, per-project instead: .claude/skills/ inside the repository, so the skill travels with the work rather than with the machine.
Any agent that reads SKILL.md
A skill is a folder with a SKILL.md and whatever files it needs. Nothing in the format is model-specific, so a runtime that reads the file reads the skill.
