**34 specialized skills** covering every major area of Austrian law — from contracts to court, from tenancy disputes to tax audits, from asylum proceedings to personal insolvency.

Tested against **14 real and simulated OGH (Supreme Court) cases** with a **93.6% accuracy score**.

> **Keine Rechtsberatung / Not legal advice.** This tool provides preliminary legal analysis. It does not replace consultation with a licensed Austrian attorney (Rechtsanwalt). See [Disclaimer](#disclaimer).

---

## Why This Exists

Legal help in Austria is expensive. A first consultation costs EUR 150-300. A contract review costs EUR 500-2,000. Most people sign contracts they don't understand, miss limitation periods, and enter disputes without knowing their rights.

**Austrian Legal Claude changes that.** It gives everyone access to structured Austrian legal analysis — instantly, for free, in German or English.

### Windows Install

```powershell
git clone https://github.com/MoMarcode1/austrian-legal-claude.git
cd austrian-legal-claude

# Copy to Claude Code skills directory
$skillDir = "$env:USERPROFILE\.claude\skills"
Copy-Item -Recurse "legal" "$skillDir\austrian-legal" -Force
Get-ChildItem "skills" -Directory | ForEach-Object {

```

### Verify Installation

After installation, open Claude Code and type:

```
/recht review
```

If Claude asks you for a document to review, the installation was successful.

### RIS Integration (Recommended)

For live Austrian statute and case law lookup, install the [RIS MCP Server](https://github.com/philrox/ris-mcp-ts):

```bash
# In your Claude Code MCP configuration
npm install -g ris-mcp-ts
```

This gives the skill access to 12 RIS tools covering Bundesnormen, Landesnormen, OGH/VfGH/VwGH Judikatur, and BGBl.

## How It Works

### The Flagship: `/recht review`

5 AI agents analyze your contract in parallel:

| Agent | Role | Weight |
|-------|------|--------|
| Klauselanalyst | Maps every clause to Austrian law | 20% |
| Risikobewerter | Scores risk against Austrian standards | 25% |
| Compliance-Pruefer | Checks KSchG, DSGVO, MRG, UGB | 20% |
| Pflichten-Mapper | Maps obligations, deadlines, triggers | 15% |
| Empfehlungsmotor | Generates fixes with legal citations | 20% |

Returns a **Vertragssicherheits-Score (0-100)** with:
- Risk dashboard
- Clause-by-clause analysis with specific citations
- Formulierungsvorschlaege (copy-paste replacement text)
- Missing clause detection
- Prioritized negotiation strategy

### RIS Integration

Every skill verifies statute citations via the [RIS MCP Server](https://github.com/philrox/ris-mcp-ts) when connected. All outputs include a **Quellenstatus** block showing verification status:

```
## Quellenstatus
| Kategorie | Status | Details |
|-----------|--------|---------|
| RIS MCP   | Verfuegbar | Connected |
| Gesetze   | RIS_VERIFIED | 12 Normen geprueft |
| Judikatur | RIS_VERIFIED | 3 Entscheidungen |
```

### Evidence Handling

When you provide documents, the skills automatically:
- Classify evidence by ZPO hierarchy (Urkunden > Zeugen > Sachverstaendige > Augenschein > Parteienvernehmung)
- Assess Beweiskraft (probative value)
- Identify missing evidence
- Determine Beweislast (burden of proof)
- Recommend what evidence to gather

### Bilingual

- Input in German or English — output matches your language
- Legal terms always include German original: "warranty (Gewaehrleistung)"
- Statutes always in official form: "922 ABGB", not "Section 922 Civil Code"

---

## Testing

The project includes a test framework with 14 cases (9 real OGH decisions + 5 simulated scenarios).

### Run Tests

```bash
# Validate all test cases load correctly
python tests/run_tests.py tests/ogh/

# Score a skill output against gold standard
python tests/run_tests.py tests/ogh/mietrecht/mietzins-richtwert-01/ \
  --skill-output tests/ogh/mietrecht/mietzins-richtwert-01/skill-output.md \
  --format markdown
```

### Test Results

| Dimension | Score |
|-----------|-------|
| Issue Spotting | 98.5% |
| Statute Citation | 88.7% |
| Outcome Alignment | 93.6% |
| **Overall** | **93.6%** |

Real OGH cases score **97.7%** on average.

### Add Your Own Test Cases

Create a directory under `tests/ogh///` with:
- `case.json` — metadata, gold-standard issues/statutes/holding
- `facts.md` — German Sachverhalt (facts only, no holding)
- `gold.md` — expected analysis

See existing test cases for the format.
