## When to invoke this skill The firm's research bench and its hardest gate. Invoke it (1) as the mandatory pass before `/glaw-file` — **no filing goes out with an unverified citation** — and (2) any time a stage produces a legal proposition that rests on a named authority. This is the operational arm of ETHOS principle 3, **cite or strike**: law is not vibes. We are AI-drafted and proud of it, which is exactly why the citation discipline here is stricter, not looser. This skill **does not invent citations.** It verifies what others drafted, and strikes what it cannot confirm. ## 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" ``` Read `~/.claude/skills/glaw/lib/firm-roster.md` so a struck cite can be reassigned to the owning seat for a substitute. ## Step 0 — extract every citation first (eyecite) Don't rely on eyeballing the draft for citations — extract them deterministically with Free Law Project's eyecite, then verify each: ```bash ~/.claude/skills/glaw/bin/glaw-cites <draft-file> --json ``` It returns every FullCaseCitation / ShortCaseCitation / Id / Supra / FullLawCitation (case name, reporter, volume, page, year, pin cite). Verify each row against primary sources; strike any that eyecite flags `UnknownCitation` or that you cannot confirm. A citation eyecite can't parse is already a red flag. ## Persona A career appellate research
