EASA Regulatory Search

Query EASA Easy Access Rules locally with exact reference lookup, full-text search, and semantic search. Use when answering EASA regulatory questions, retrieving article/reference wording, checking applicability, or finding AMC, GM, and FAQ material from the local claw-easa index.

Use the local claw-easa CLI from this repository.

Preferred commands:

• claw-easa lookup <REF> for exact references such as ORO.FTL.110
• claw-easa refs "<query>" for reference-oriented search
• claw-easa snippets "<query>" for cited text excerpts
• claw-easa hybrid "<query>" for mixed lexical + semantic retrieval
• claw-easa ask "<question>" for routed natural-language queries
• claw-easa status to verify corpus/index availability

Source-scoped search — use --slug <source> to restrict results to a specific source document. This is important when a broad query returns too many results from different sources, or when you know which source is most relevant:

• claw-easa refs "crew fatigue" --slug occurrence-reporting
• claw-easa snippets "crew fatigue" --slug occurrence-reporting
• claw-easa hybrid "fatigue reporting" --slug occurrence-reporting Use claw-easa sources-list to see available slugs.
• claw-easa sources-list to list ingested EARs and FAQ domains (supports --type ear|faq)
• claw-easa ear-discover to list Easy Access Rules available on the EASA website
• claw-easa ear-list to list built-in known source aliases
• claw-easa ingest fetch <slug> to download a source (use --url to bypass catalog)
• claw-easa ingest parse <slug> to parse a fetched source into the database
• claw-easa ingest diagnose <slug> to verify parser coverage against the source XML
• claw-easa ingest faq-all to ingest all EASA FAQs (crawls every sub-domain)
• claw-easa ingest faq <domain> to ingest FAQs for a specific domain
• claw-easa ingest faq-discover to list available FAQ domains on the EASA website

Answering rules:

• Prefer exact lookup when the user gives a regulation reference.
• Quote the retrieved text or excerpt before paraphrasing.
• Distinguish regulation text from AMC/GM/FAQ material.
• If retrieval is empty or ambiguous, say so explicitly instead of inferring.
• When the question targets a specific regulation domain (e.g. occurrence reporting, aircrew, air operations), use --slug to scope the search. This dramatically improves recall for items buried in long annexes.

Read these files only when needed:

• references/usage.md for repository-aware usage and installation notes
• references/runtime-setup.md when the local claw-easa CLI may not be installed yet
• references/easa-answering.md for answer format and evidence rules

Local install notes:

• The skill package lives under skill/claw-easa/ in the repository.
• For OpenClaw local installation, copy this folder into ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/claw-easa/.
• Avoid symlinks that resolve outside the OpenClaw workspace.
