EASA Regulatory Search

Use the local claw-easa CLI from this repository.

Preferred commands:

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

Source-scoped search — use --slug 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 to download a source (use --url to bypass catalog)
• claw-easa ingest parse to parse a fetched source into the database
• claw-easa ingest diagnose 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 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.
