## 🔍 What lauyer does
lauyer helps you search Portuguese legal sources from one place:
- DGSI court decisions
- Diário da República legislation
- Full text results
- Fast search across many sources
- Markdown output for easy reading
- JSON output for tools and scripts
- Parallel search for quicker results
It is built for people who want fast access to legal text without moving between sites.
## ✅ Main uses
Use lauyer when you need to:
- look up court rulings by topic, case name, or legal term
- find laws and legal rules published in Portugal
- compare several results side by side
- copy text into notes, reports, or other tools
- feed results into an AI agent or other workflow
## 🖥️ System requirements
lauyer is made for Windows users and works best on:
- Windows 10 or Windows 11
- A stable internet connection
- Enough free disk space for the app and its cache
- A modern 64-bit computer
For best results, use a recent Windows build and keep your system updated.
## 🛠️ How to use
After you open lauyer, use simple search terms such as:
- contrato trabalho
- acidente via pública
- prescrição dívida
- arrendamento urbano
- responsabilidade civil
- código civil artigo 483
- decreto lei imposto selo
You can run broad searches first, then narrow the results with more exact terms.
## 📄 Output options
lauyer can return results in formats that fit different needs:
- Plain text for quick reading
- Markdown for notes and documents
- JSON for automation and AI tools
Use Markdown when you want clean text you can paste into a document. Use JSON when another tool needs structured data.
## ⚙️ Search behavior
The app searches in parallel, which means it can check multiple sources at the same time. This helps you get results faster.
It also retrieves full text when available, so you can read more than a short preview. This is useful when you need the exact wording of a decision or law.
## 🧭 Tips for better searches
- Use short, direct terms first
- Try Portuguese legal words, since the sources are in Portuguese
- Add the name of a law, court, or topic if the first search returns too many results
- Search one idea at a time
- Use quotes for exact phrases if the app supports them
- Try broader terms if you get no results
Examples:
- pagamento indevido
- nulidade contrato
- recurso tribunal da relação
- responsabilidade extracontratual
- direito de preferência
## 🤖 AI agent use
lauyer can work as a skill for AI tools like Claude Code, Claude.ai, Codex, and other LLM agents.
That means an agent can use it to:
- search legal sources
- collect case law
- fetch full text
- return results in a structured form
- support legal research workflows
This makes it useful when you want an AI tool to look up Portuguese legal material instead of guessing from memory.
## 📂 Typical workflow
1. Open lauyer.
2. Type a legal topic or law name.
3. Run the search.
4. Review the list of results.
5. Open a result with full text.
6. Copy the output in Markdown or JSON.
7. Paste it into your notes, report, or AI workflow.
## 🔧 If the app does not open
Try these steps:
- Download the latest release again
- Check that the file finished downloading
- Extract the zip file before opening it
- Right-click the app and choose Run as administrator
- Make sure Windows Defender did not block the file
