legal-thesis-outline

This repository contains a set of AI prompts designed to help law master's students check and improve the structure of their thesis outlines. It was created as course material for an advanced law master's program at National Chung Cheng University in Taiwan, and the content is primarily in Traditional Chinese.

The tool works by giving an AI assistant (such as Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini) detailed instructions for reviewing a legal thesis outline against a standard academic structure: introduction, theoretical background, domestic law analysis, comparative law from other countries, critical review, and conclusion. Once loaded with the prompt, the AI then guides a student through revisions one step at a time rather than dumping all feedback at once. The checks cover things like whether chapter titles are focused enough, whether each chapter section actually addresses what its title says, whether the comparative law chapter is properly connected to the recommendations chapter, and whether the order of topics follows logical academic flow.

There are two ways to use it. The first is as a Claude project skill, where you paste the prompt once into a Claude project and it activates automatically whenever thesis-related keywords appear in that project's conversations. The second is a plain prompt file that works with any AI chat tool, pasted fresh at the start of each conversation.

The README includes a sample problem outline about personal data protection and AI, with three intentional structural flaws, so users can test that the tool is working correctly before using it on their own work.

This is not a software application. There is no code to run. It is a collection of two Markdown files containing carefully written instructions for AI tools, shared under the MIT license.
