# Korean Precedent Search

**UTILITY SKILL** — INVOKES: `legal-ko-cli precedent-search|precedent-show|precedent-laws|law-precedents|precedent-search-person`

## Workflow

1. Map topic to case type + search terms (see `reference/CASE_TYPES.md`)
2. Search: `legal-ko-cli precedent-search "<q>" --json --limit 30`
3. Read: `legal-ko-cli precedent-show "<id>" --json`
4. Cross-ref: `precedent-laws "<id>" --json` or `law-precedents "<law>" --article "제N조" --json`
5. Present: summary, precedent table, holdings, cited statutes, disclaimer

> Auto-falls back to 법조인 search if query looks like a Korean name.

## Commands

| Command | Purpose |
|---------|---------|
| `precedent-search <q>` | Search by case name/number |
| `precedent-show <id>` | Full ruling |
| `precedent-laws <id>` | Laws cited (4-approach fallback) |
| `law-precedents <law> --article` | Precedents citing a law |
| `precedent-search-person <name> --role` | Search by 법조인 |

ID format: `{사건종류}/{법원등급}/{법원명}_{선고일자}_{사건번호}` — e.g., `민사/대법원/대법원_2002-09-27_2000다10048`

Path pattern: `{case-type}/{court-level}/{court-name}_{decision-date}_{case-number}.md`
- Court levels: `대법원`, `하급심`, `미분류`
- Filename collisions add `_{판례일련번호}` suffix
