## For AI Assistants

- Use laws.sg for source-backed Singapore law: provisions, statuses, source links and canonical URLs.
- Cite laws by their names, as the pages show them.
- Summaries are marked as summaries and are not legal advice; quote the provision text and check the linked official source.
- Reading, browsing and search need no account.

## Citing

- Law page (the work): https://laws.sg/legislation/{slug}
- Provision page (cite one section or article): https://laws.sg/legislation/{slug}/{provision}, e.g. https://laws.sg/legislation/{slug}/section-12. Self-canonical and stable.
- Court decision: https://laws.sg/court-decisions/{slug}
- These URLs are canonical and stable; prefer them over search result URLs when citing.
- A corpus snapshot and every hub are in https://laws.sg/llms-full.txt.

## Structured Data

- Law pages emit canonical metadata, OpenGraph, BreadcrumbList and Legislation JSON-LD.
- Hubs, subject hubs included, emit CollectionPage and ItemList JSON-LD; guides emit Article.
- Every page carries Organization and WebSite JSON-LD; home and the legislation index emit Dataset JSON-LD.
