How content is made

Content is produced in the Legal To Code legal workflow for Claude Code (version 1.131.0). Cited provisions are verified against a local library of their verbatim wording. Where the wording is not in the library, it is verified in the Czech Collection of Laws. For case-law research the workflow is connected to the Salvia MCP server. Automated checks of citations and internal consistency are part of the workflow. Even those checks do not rule out an error. Verify decisive information against the original sources.
