What problem does it solve?
You need the exact wording of Spanish statutes and how they changed over time, but BOE browsing and PDFs do not fit an agent workflow or reproducible diffs.
Who is it for?
Indie builders and agents doing Spain-market research, compliance copy checks, or feature scoping that must reference real BOE text with traceable change history.
Skip if: Teams that need certified legal opinions, non-Spanish jurisdictions, or a hosted API instead of cloning and maintaining a Git working tree.
When should I use this skill?
search Spanish law, find Spanish legislation, query BOE law, look up Spanish legal code, check Spanish regulation, find article in Spanish law, compare versions of Spanish law, or track changes to Spanish legislation
What do I get? / Deliverables
You get searchable local law files with Git-backed version history so the agent can cite articles, compare reforms, and reconstruct text at a past commit.
- Cited excerpts from BOE-named Markdown law files
- Git diffs and reform timelines for a specified statute
