## Why This Plugin?

India's legal system is vast and intricate — 1,500+ statutes, 40M+ pending cases, and a legal practice that spans everything from the Indian Contract Act 1872 to the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023.

This plugin gives you:

- **32 specialist agents** that understand specific domains of Indian law, from contract formation to criminal defense to patent eligibility
- **235 reference protocols** encoding statutory provisions, landmark case law, procedural rules, and calculation formulas
- **32 slash commands** for common legal tasks — draft an RTI application, calculate gratuity, check limitation periods, prepare for trial
- **A master orchestrator** that routes any legal query to the right specialist automatically

Whether you're an advocate preparing case strategy, a law student studying for exams, an in-house counsel reviewing compliance, or a citizen navigating the legal system — this plugin makes Indian law accessible and actionable.

```

**Multi-agent architecture**: Each legal domain has a dedicated specialist agent trained on domain-specific protocols. The master orchestrator handles routing, and agents can collaborate on cross-domain queries (e.g., a property dispute that involves contract law and civil procedure).

**Protocol-backed knowledge**: Every agent draws from curated reference protocols that encode statutory provisions, judicial interpretations, procedural rules, and worked examples — not generic training data.
