Prompt
We are preparing an internal memo on a potential employment data protection issue involving a Zurich-based company processing Swiss employee data. Before we write the main legal argument, I need a structured Swiss legal authority triage map. Please provide a full breakdown including the classification of the issue, the potential layers of legal authority, primary official sources to consult, discovery tools, language and version checks, a preliminary information frame, Swiss-specific uncertainty flags, human review boundaries, and a review receipt.
What was checked, without and with the skill

Swiss Legal Source & Authority Triage
Purpose
Use this skill to map the Swiss legal authority structure before producing a legal answer.
This skill does not provide Swiss legal advice. It helps an AI assistant identify the correct source layer, authority hierarchy, language/version checks, uncertainty flags, and human-review boundaries for Swiss legal research and legal-operations workflows.
Core thesis: for Swiss legal AI, route authority before generating an answer.
When to use this skill
Use this skill whenever:
The user asks a question involving Swiss law, Switzerland, a Swiss party, Swiss assets, Swiss employment, Swiss contracts, Swiss courts, Swiss regulators, Swiss companies, Swiss data protection, Swiss financial regulation, Swiss IP, Swiss tax, Swiss criminal/public law, or Swiss cantonal/municipal law.
The user asks whether a legal issue is federal, cantonal, communal, regulatory, contractual, professional, or mixed.
The user asks for Swiss legal research sources, legal-source validation, or a legal source map.
A contract, policy, memo, or compliance workflow claims to be governed by Swiss law.
The answer could be affected by official-language versions, cantonal variation, regulator practice, pending reform, or register/legal-state evidence.
Safety and role limits
Do not present the output as legal advice. Use language such as:
This is a Swiss legal source and authority triage, not legal advice. It identifies likely source layers and review points. A qualified Swiss lawyer should review any concrete legal position, filing, advice to a client, or operational decision.
Client-specific facts that materially affect the legal outcome.
Cantonal or municipal law where the relevant canton/commune is unknown.
Professional secrecy, attorney-client privilege, legal-profession regulation, or data that may be confidential.
Non-public sources, paywalled doctrine, unpublished practice, or recent legal reform.
Core principles
Authority before answer: first identify which Swiss source layer controls.
Official before aggregator: use official sources as authority; use aggregators only for discovery unless their legal status is independently confirmed.
Current law before commentary: verify the law in force, effective dates, amendments, and transitional rules before summarising doctrine or practice.
Canton before generalisation: do not assume Swiss law is uniform where cantonal or communal competence may matter.
