Phase 2 — Generate Impressum
Using the collected data, generate the Impressum using the templates in
references/template-de.md and/or references/template-en.md.
Generation rules
- Fill all collected fields into the template.
- Mark any missing optional fields with
[bitte ergänzen] / [please add]
so the user knows what still needs to be filled in manually.
- For
legal-entity: always show UID if provided.
- For
legal-entity: always show Handelsregister entry if provided.
- If
include-disclaimer = yes: append the standard disclaimer block.
- If
include-odr = yes: append the ODR link block.
- Output as a clean Markdown file ready to save as
impressum.md or
embed in an HTML page.
Phase 3 — Deliver and advise
- Present the generated Impressum to the user.
- List any fields marked
[bitte ergänzen] / [please add] as a checklist.
- Remind the user:
"Place this Impressum on a page reachable within one click from your
homepage (e.g. /impressum). Swiss and EU practice requires it to be
easily findable. Link it from your footer."
- Suggest next step:
"Consider also creating a Datenschutzerklärung (Privacy Policy) using
the create-privacy-policy-ch-en skill."
