The problem

Chinese legal practice needs more than generic legal Q&A. A useful answer must clear four bars that a general-purpose agent routinely misses:

  • Statute currency — a cited article may have been amended, repealed, or replaced; "the model remembers it" is not verification.
  • Citation truthfulness — fabricated case numbers and invented provisions are a real failure mode; anything sent out must survive an audit gate.
  • Jurisdiction differences — Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and Singapore run different regimes; an answer anchored in the wrong jurisdiction is worse than no answer.
  • Non-lawyer risk — unauthorized practice of law (UPL) is a real liability; a non-lawyer user must be gated before receiving anything that looks like legal advice.

This Plugin packages a Mainland China-first legal workflow — contract review, litigation prep, data compliance, corporate, labor, and IP — built on shared guardrails (G1–G12), live statute-status checks, and a citation audit gate.

Expected result: the first prompt routes through the contract router into nda-review and returns a three-bucket memo (🟢 / 🟡 / 🔴 findings) with a reviewer note stating the assumed position (receiving party) and any red-line hits; unverified citations appear as [CITE:__] placeholders and the output cannot pass the citation-audit gate until each one is verified against a live source. If you have not registered as a lawyer in the practice profile, a non-lawyer confirmation gate fires before any advice-shaped output. The second prompt runs statute-verify, which checks the article against the National Laws and Regulations Database (flk) and reports its current status with a source label — never from memory alone.

What it does

  • Core guardrails & verification (9 skills) — shared guardrails G1–G12 and the practice profile live in docs/guardrails.md; cold-start-interview and customize maintain that profile; legal-research, statute-verify, and case-verify verify statutes and cases against live sources; citation-audit is the pre-send citation gate; matter-workspace, due-diligence, and tabular-review cover matter management, diligence, and multi-document grid review.
  • Contract review (10 skills) — the contract-review router plus typed reviewers: NDA, lease, loan, sales, service, and technology contracts, a risk-clause database, renewal tracking, and contract summaries.
  • Litigation (4 skills) — matter intake, complaint outlines, evidence lists, and demand letters for Mainland civil procedure.
  • Data compliance (5 skills) — the compliance-review router plus PIPL assessment, privacy policy review, data export assessment, and incident response.
  • Corporate (5 skills) — the corporate-review router plus charter and shareholder agreement review, board resolutions, and capital contribution.
  • Labor (5 skills) — the labor-review router plus labor contract and employee handbook review, termination assessment, and arbitration prep.
  • IP (5 skills) — the ip-review router plus trademark search prep, patent disclosure review, software copyright, and IP assignment review.
  • Jurisdiction five-step — every task explicitly anchors its jurisdiction before analysis; docs/LEGAL_FRAMES/ holds baseline files for Mainland China (cn-mainland.md) plus framework-level baselines for HK, MO, TW, SG.
  • Source attribution vocabulary — docs/references/attribution-vocabulary.md defines the fixed label set; a label claiming a live tool lookup may only be used when the tool actually returned data in the current session.
  • Not legal advice — outputs are drafting aids for review by a licensed lawyer. Nothing this Plugin produces constitutes a legal opinion, and the UPL gate requires non-lawyer users to confirm before advice-shaped output.

Requirements

  • Python 3.11+ on PATH (runs the bundled flk MCP server for the National Laws and Regulations Database). No API key or account is needed for the default configuration.

  • Optional: PKULAW (北大法宝), a paid commercial source, is disabled by default. To enable it, create a service at mcp.pkulaw.com, set PKULAW_SERVICE_ID and PKULAW_TOKEN, then either run python scripts/enable_pkulaw.py (verifies the gateway handshake before writing anything) or add this entry to mcp.json manually:

    "pkulaw": {
  "type": "streamable-http",
  "url": "https://apim-gw.pkulaw.com/<SERVICE_ID>/mcp",
  "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${PKULAW_TOKEN}" }
}

  • Windows, macOS, and Linux are all supported.

Data and network

  • flk.npc.gov.cn — the National Laws and Regulations Database, queried by the bundled flk MCP server for statute lookup and validity status.
  • apim-gw.pkulaw.com — the PKULAW gateway, contacted only after you explicitly enable the connector with your own credentials.
  • This Plugin does not scrape the China Judgments Online website (裁判文书网); case verification relies on the configured connectors and user-supplied materials, and reports a source gap when it cannot verify.
  • No telemetry. The repository ships zero credentials; the PKULAW token is only ever referenced as the ${PKULAW_TOKEN} environment variable.
  • Working artifacts (matter logs, memos, drafts) are written to local directories such as matters/ and reports/ in your workspace.

Notes

  • This is the MiniMax Code port of the mcodeforlegal plugin set: the seven original sub-plugins are flattened into a single Plugin package, and the five scene routers were renamed (contract-review, compliance-review, corporate-review, labor-review, ip-review) to keep skill names unique.
  • Claude Code-specific components (agents, hooks) are not part of this package and are not loaded by MiniMax Code.
  • The HK/MO/TW/SG files under docs/LEGAL_FRAMES/ are framework-level baselines only; verify against current local law before relying on them.
