/plugin install germany-legal@claude-communityWhat germany-legal does
The plugin gives Claude a working reference for German law aimed at small and mid-sized businesses. Twelve practice areas are covered, from contract and employment law to data protection, company law, tax, property, competition, consumer matters and civil procedure. Citations point at a named statute and a paragraph — BGB, KSchG, DSGVO, GmbHG, UStG — down to the Absatz and Nummer.
Seven slash commands handle the routine work. /review-vertrag checks a contract, /check-agb tests standard terms against §§305–310 BGB, /check-kuendigung works through notice periods and dismissal protection under KSchG, /check-dsgvo runs a DSGVO and BDSG check, /calculate-fees derives court and attorney fees from the Streitwert, /calculate-tax covers GewSt, GrESt, ESt and KSt, and /check-fristen tracks deadlines and limitation periods. Other calculators sit inside the skills: minimum wage, Kurzarbeitergeld, social selection, the transparency register, insolvency filing deadlines.
One thing to keep in mind: the plugin produces legal information, not advice in the sense of § 2 Abs. 1 RDG, and every skill carries that disclaimer. Where the 16 Bundesländer diverge, a federalism warning flags it, so answers for a specific state need a second look. MCP servers for Slack, Box, MS365, DATEV and DocuSign are configured in .mcp.json if you want them — that step is optional.
