De Law

German federal law, EU law and German federal court decisions for Hermes Agent: read one section or article (§ 203 StGB, Art. 6 DSGVO, Art. 50 AI Act) in the source wording with version status (Stand), gazette reference and a ready source line, search the index of federal laws, list a law's sections, and find and read published decisions of BVerfG, BGH, BVerwG, BFH, BAG, BSG and BPatG. Legal texts, not legal advice.

Good to know before installing

Sends HTTPS GET requests only to www.gesetze-im-internet.de (law folder names, the daily index, weekly abbreviation lists), www.rechtsprechung-im-internet.de (the daily index, document ids of decisions you read) and publications.europa.eu (CELEX numbers, text language, one SPARQL query per act listing its consolidated versions); section numbers and search words are not sent, because whole laws are downloaded and searched locally. Public sources, no key. Writes public legal texts and indexes (JSON with ETag, Last-Modified and fetch time; no questions, no session data) under HERMES_HOME/plugin-data/de-law/cache, capped by the cache_max_mb setting (default 200 MB). Reads only its own plugin settings. At most one request per second per host, 25 s timeout, 40 MB response cap. rechtsprechung-im-internet.de sends a tdm-reservation header; the plugin fetches its index and single decisions on request only, and case_law: false turns that source off. No hooks, no cron jobs, no background processes. Tools stay on every platform, including gateways (a guest can call them; hermes tools disables one). While the plugin is enabled, its skill adds one line to the skills index of every session.

From the plugin's catalog listing.

How to install

  1. Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.
    hermes plugins install de-law
  2. Said no? Turn it on later:
    hermes plugins enable de-law
  3. Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.

Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see Full setup & settings. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide (opens in a new tab).
