Parse an Australian case citation — medium-neutral, reported or bare case name — identify the issuing court and jurisdiction, and route the request to the matching official-source verification skill. Use first whenever a user asks to verify, check or confirm an Australian case citation, judgment or authority, including checking documents for fabricated or hallucinated citations. Do not use for non-Australian citations, treatment analysis (overruled, followed, distinguished), or substantive…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Route Case Citation
Read [../../references/case-law-verification-method.md](../../references/case-law-verification-method.md)
before routing. It defines the citation grammar, the official-source
hierarchy and the five-outcome result semantics every downstream skill uses.
Routing is deterministic because a medium-neutral citation names its issuing
court. This skill only identifies where verification must happen; it never
declares a citation verified.
## Workflow
1. Extract every citation from the request or supplied document. Accept
medium-neutral citations (`[2023] HCA 12`), reported citations
(`(2020) 94 ALJR 1`) and bare case names (`Smith v Jones`).
- When command execution is available, use the bundled parser:
```bash
python3 <skill-root>/scripts/parse_citation.py "[2023] HCA 12" "(1992) 175 CLR 1"
```
Resolve `<skill-root>` as the directory containing this `SKILL.md`. The
parser is offline and read-only: it reports citation type, court and the
verification route, and proves nothing about whether the decision
exists. Without command execution, apply the same grammar manually.
2. Route each citation.

How to install
mdr add thomasmoreai/legal-skills-open/route-case-citation-l0cka@sha256:fcf875019956d92fThe line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
