An agents.md standard file (Linux Foundation / Agentic AI Foundation) - canonical instructions for AI agents working with this repository. Read natively by Cursor, Codex (OpenAI), Jules (Google), Devin / Windsurf, Aider, Amp, Factory, GitHub Copilot.
Praxis is an open line of practical guides for law firms, published by MateMatic. Knowledge about safe use of AI in a law firm should be a common good - this repo is its home.
Two formats:
- Maps - live, searchable inventories of tools and resources (e.g. a map of Polish LegalTech AI).
- Handbooks - procedural step-by-step guides with checklists and downloadable artifacts.
First handbook: PX/03 - Zero-cloud stack for law firms (przewodniki/px03-stack-zero-cloud/).
The repo is run by MateMatic Solutions. Praxis has three editorial principles (README.md):
- Active, not static - these are working tools, not frozen PDFs.
- Subjective, not objective - with explicit MateMatic commentary and perspective. No pretense of an "objective ranking".
- Live, not frozen - versioned, developed with reader feedback.

README.md - handbook content
artefakty/ - downloadable files (checklists, templates)

Web version of each handbook: https://matematicsolutions.com/akademia/pxNN-slug.html.
The repo is plain Markdown. No compilation.
"Test" = a manual walkthrough of the handbook against 2 law firm archetypes (solo practitioner + 10-person team) - if any step is not executable, the handbook is bad.
The web version is generated by the www-matematic repo (private, deploys to matematicsolutions.com).
- Polish language, MateMatic tone - precise, calm, no sales marketing. See the
bw_stylefeedback in operational MEMORY. - Marko-pl double round before every commit (charges -> fixes -> "ok") - ALWAYS before publishing.
- Humanizer-pl for the final polish (anti-AI-slop).
- No em-dash - use a plain hyphen
-. Never—or–. - No Polish characters in commit messages - organization convention.
- Cite sources - legal act (with CELEX for EU), tool (with a link to the repo/site), study (with a DOI or URL).
- Executable checklists - every step has a "yes/no" answer, no "think about it".
- DO NOT feign objectivity - Praxis is subjective by definition. Write "MateMatic recommends X because Y" instead of "the best tool is X".
- DO NOT insert a sales pitch for Patron / lpm-pl / matematic-readiness in the handbooks. If a MateMatic product is a natural example - link it, but as neutrally as the competition.
- DO NOT copy external content 1:1 without attribution - CC BY-SA requires attribution.
- DO NOT commit real law firm / client names in examples.
- README.md - landing + handbook table
- CONTRIBUTING.md - collaboration rules and handbook format
- przewodniki/pxNN-*/README.md - content of specific handbooks
