The Atlas
Law OSS — its documentation, bound to its code
Journeys
First hour with Law OSS
Orientation: what Law OSS is, the bring-your-own-key model that shapes every feature, and where the six agents and the monorepo actually live.
5 stops →An agent request, end to end
Follow one 'ask an agent' request from the Express entry point, through route registration and system-prompt selection, to the provider call.
4 stops →Getting Started
The front door. Law OSS is a free, open-source alternative to Harvey and Legora: you bring your own Claude or Gemini API key, pay the provider directly, and get six specialist legal agents plus contract review and verified research. The README is the whole pitch, the tech stack, and the self-host instructions in one page — start here.
- Law OSS Read first, and read all of it — it is the only prose doc, and every monorepo path it names is a live code chip into the source.
Developer Tools
The documentation tooling itself. Right now that is this Atlas: a live FastAPI navigator that binds the README to the monorepo it describes and checks the binding continuously. The build log records what each Atlas build was authored against.
- Atlas doc-build log Read when you want to know what commit this Atlas was authored against, or before running an `--update` to see what the last build covered.
