Use Descrybe Legal Engine well and safely

Sets the working rules for Descrybe research: confirm jurisdiction and scope, pick the right search tool, keep results focused and report what could not be verified. It is read-only and does not change anything in your account.

Use it when

You are starting legal research on a new question in your assistant.
You have a citation, quote or case name and want the right lookup tool.
Your search returns too much or nothing and you need a better approach.

Tools it uses

find_case_from_reference
get_case_details
get_case_summary
verify_quote
search_case_text
search_cases_by_concept
analyze_legal_question
search_laws_and_rules
check_case_status
find_cases_that_cite
get_case_passages
extract_case_references
get_case_pdf

Example

Find Massachusetts cases on retaliation after an internal disability discrimination complaint, and tell me which ones you could not verify.

Scope: Massachusetts, employment retaliation, termination two weeks after an HR complaint. I pulled the six strongest cases from a concept search, read their summaries and passages, and checked treatment on each. Five are still good law; one was limited on a point about timing and I have flagged it. I could not retrieve the statute text in this session, so the G.L. c. 151B citation is unverified.

Research a legal question into a sourced memo

Turns a legal question into a research memo with governing law, the strongest cases, treatment checks and quoted passages, so every point traces to an authority you can check.

Use it when

A new client question needs the governing law and key cases in one state or federal jurisdiction
You need a memo on whether a claim is supported, with contrary authority included
A brief needs research on a specific issue before drafting

Tools it uses

search_laws_and_rules
analyze_legal_question
search_cases_by_concept
search_case_text
get_case_summary
get_case_details
get_case_pdf
get_case_passages
check_case_status
find_cases_that_cite

Example

Research whether an internal disability complaint followed by termination two weeks later supports a retaliation claim under Massachusetts law. Give me a memo with sources.

Governing provision: G.L. c. 151B, § 4(4), read as covering opposition to discrimination. Controlling authority: Mole v. University of Massachusetts, 442 Mass. 582 (2004), which allows causation to be inferred from close timing. Treatment checked: good law. Contrary point: a legitimate stated reason still requires evidence of pretext, per Verdrager v. Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky & Popeo, P.C., 474 Mass. 382 (2016). Two authorities were checked; one further point is listed as not established.

Check citations and quotes in a draft with Descrybe

Audits the case citations and quotations in a brief, memo or assistant answer. It confirms each case exists, checks whether it is still good law, tests whether it supports the proposition cited, and verifies quoted wording. It asks before changing anything.

Use it when

A partner wants every cite in a brief checked before filing
An assistant answer includes case quotes that need confirming
A draft memo cites a case you suspect has been overruled

Tools it uses

find_case_from_reference
extract_case_references
get_case_details
check_case_status
find_cases_that_cite
search_laws_and_rules
get_case_summary
get_case_passages
verify_quote

Example

Cite-check this draft memo. Tell me which cases are still good law and whether the quotes match.

I checked 12 authorities. 10 verified, 1 with problems, 1 not found. The problem is a 2009 decision cited for a rule the court limited in 2014, and one quote is off by a word. The uncited case could not be found under that reporter cite, so I'd confirm it in a primary source before it goes out.

Descrybe Legal Engine skills FAQ

What is a Descrybe Legal Engine agent skill?

A SKILL.md file: a short playbook an AI agent loads when your request matches it. Each Descrybe Legal Engine skill describes one job, which Descrybe Legal Engine tools to use in which order, what to check first and when to stop and ask you.

Do the Descrybe Legal Engine skills change anything on their own?

3 of the 3 only read. The others tell the agent to show you the change and wait for a yes before it creates, edits or deletes anything in Descrybe Legal Engine.

Which tools can use these skills?

Any agent that reads the open Agent Skills format: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code with Copilot and RevampKey. In RevampKey they are attached when you connect Descrybe Legal Engine; elsewhere you copy the folders into your project or skills directory.

Do I need the Descrybe Legal Engine MCP server too?

Yes. The skills tell the agent how to do the work; the Descrybe Legal Engine MCP server gives it the tools to do it. The Descrybe Legal Engine MCP setup guide covers every client.
