Available Tools

  • pesquisar_precedentes_judiciais: Research legal precedents that meet the specified criteria.

Development

Tooling

The project uses:

  • Ruff for linting and formatting.
  • BasedPyright for type checking.
  • Pytest for testing.

Language

Resources, tools and prompts related stuff must be written in Portuguese, because this project aims to be used by non-dev folks, such as lawyers and law students.

Technical legal vocabulary is highly dependent on a country's legal tradition and translating it is no trivial task.

Development related stuff should stick to English as conventional, such as source code.
