research-start
research-start is a Legal research & case law skill for AI agents, published by lawdroidAI in the legal-aid-plugin repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates research-start D (55/100) and it passed the safety scan; the rating is based on static analysis only.
Research roadmap for a legal issue — statutory starting points, case law areas, agency guidance, secondary sources (NCLC, Shriver Center, practice manuals), search terms for free research tools (CourtListener, Descrybe, Free Law Project) and paid ones if the office has them. Leads and frameworks, NOT authoritative citations; staff verify and develop everything. Use when a staffer asks where to start researching, wants a research roadmap for an issue, or needs gaps identified in existing research.
