~50 words. TopDWI is a free library of five legal-information AI skills for people facing a Missouri DWI. The skills run in the user's own AI assistant and turn a stressful arrest into plain-language checklists: the separate criminal and driver's-license cases, the license-hearing deadline, court terms, records, and questions for a lawyer. Not legal advice.

~100 words. TopDWI is a free library of five AI skills that help people facing a Missouri DWI — and the family members helping them — get organized before they talk to a lawyer. Each skill is a plain-text instruction file the user adds to the AI assistant they already use; TopDWI never sees what they type. The skills separate the criminal case from the driver's-license case, count the license-hearing deadline from the user's own dates, explain court terms, and list records and questions. Every legal statement is tied to a dated Missouri source. The skills give legal information, not legal advice, and are not a lawyer.

~250 words. A Missouri DWI is usually two cases at once: a criminal case in court and a separate driver's-license case with the Missouri Department of Revenue, which has its own short deadline. Right after an arrest, many people don't know that the second case exists. TopDWI is a free library of five AI skills built to help people facing their own Missouri DWI understand where they stand and get organized. The skills are plain-text instruction files that run in the user's own AI assistant, such as Claude or ChatGPT. They separate the two cases, count the license-hearing deadline from the dates on the user's notice, explain terms like SIS, SES, SATOP, and ignition interlock, describe how the law defines repeat-offense levels and the maximum penalties it sets, and list records and procedural questions to bring to a lawyer. Each skill may cite only Missouri statutes, regulations, and cases that have been checked against primary sources and dated; unconfirmed questions are marked open and not stated as settled. The skills give legal information, not legal advice. They don't tell users what to do, predict outcomes, or act as a lawyer, and using them creates no attorney-client relationship. They point users who need a lawyer to the Missouri Bar Lawyer Referral Service. TopDWI is affiliated with the law firm Porter | Smith Law.

Please don't describe TopDWI as an "AI lawyer," a "legal-advice bot," "beat-the-breath-test software," or a "replacement for a lawyer," and don't attribute guaranteed suppression, dismissal, or any case outcome to it. It is a free legal-information and preparation tool — accurate descriptions say so.
