# Practice profile: General Methodology — Switzerland

Orchestrator cold-start for plugin `ch-general`. Loaded after `ch/CLAUDE.md`, before
invoking a specific skill.

## Scope

Cross-cutting Swiss legal methodology: source-authority triage, legal-research patterns,
citation discipline. Not tied to one practice area; intended as auxiliary tooling that
practice-specific Swiss skills may rely on.

## Forums & authorities

Refer to the appropriate practice plugin for forum specifics. For source-authority
questions, the hierarchy in `ch/CLAUDE.md` governs.

## Key sources of law

The cross-cutting list in `ch/CLAUDE.md` applies. Skills under this plugin remain neutral
as to subject matter and focus on the meta-level (`how to read and weight Swiss sources`).

## Citation discipline

Follow `ch/CLAUDE.md` exactly. Skills in this plugin often *teach* the citation discipline
— they should model the form, not invent specific references.

## When this plugin does NOT apply

- Any practice-specific Swiss work (contracts, IP, corporate, data protection, etc.) →
  use the corresponding `ch-<practice>` plugin when created.
