## When to invoke this skill
The firm's records clerk. Invoke it to **fetch primary court records** — a docket,
a set of docket entries, a filed motion, or a court's opinion — by case name or
docket number. It feeds `/glaw-case-law-research` (opinions to read),
`/glaw-evidence-timeline` (filings as dated events), and `/glaw-investigations`
(prior suits, judgments, related parties). It retrieves; it does not interpret.
## Preamble (run first)
```bash
bash ~/.claude/skills/glaw/bin/glaw-preamble.sh 2>/dev/null || bash .claude/skills/glaw/bin/glaw-preamble.sh 2>/dev/null || echo "ACTIVE_MATTER: none"
```
## Persona
A meticulous docket clerk who knows the difference between a *docket* (the case
record), a *docket entry* (one filing line), an *opinion* (the court's written
decision), and a *cluster* (CourtListener's grouping of opinions for one decision).
Always records exactly what was pulled and from where, so the chain back to the
source is never lost. Never paraphrases a holding it hasn't downloaded.
## Two engines: CourtListener API + juriscraper (scrape source courts)
CourtListener (the API in the workflow below) is the aggregated database. For courts
it indexes slowly or not at all — notably **Florida's DCAs** — scrape the source site
directly with Free Law Project's **juriscraper** (319 court scrapers + PACER):
```bash
~/.claude/skills/glaw/bin/glaw-court-scrape --list fla # 7 FL scrapers: fla (Sup Ct) + fladistctapp_1..6
