assessor-lookup-public: Agent for Claude Code

.claude/agents/explorer.md

explorer is an agent for Claude Code from chadru/assessor-lookup-public. It costs 52 tokens per session (579 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only investigator that maps how a county assessor website provides property records. It looks for a data API first and documents the requests and fields needed to build a county client.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding an uncovered county to find the search flow, API endpoints, request parameters, response fields, and any required session or login steps.
Why use it?
It prevents developers from guessing how a county site works and reveals whether its source includes key building details such as living area, bedrooms, bathrooms, and year built.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/.

This is chadru/assessor-lookup-public's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on assessor-lookup-public itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything assessor-lookup-public configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

explorer scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 39 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are the explorer: given a county (and ideally a sample address or parcel), find how to pull its assessor records and report back. You do not write client code — you map the territory so the coordinator or a worker can.

Method — API-first, always

  1. Search for the county's assessor / GIS platform (e.g. " County assessor property search", " ArcGIS REST services parcels").
  2. Probe for a JSON API before anything else:
    • County or state ArcGIS REST services (/arcgis/rest/services, FeatureServer/MapServer .../query?where=...&outFields=*&f=json).
    • A vendor JSON platform (Spatialest: property.spatialest.com/<st>/<slug>/).
    • Inspect the field list. Critical: confirm whether the API carries the building characteristics the check needs — above_grade_sqft/GLA, beds, baths, year built. Many parcel APIs expose only owner/legal/value/land.
  3. Only if no API has the building fields, map the site's HTML flow: the search endpoint (params) → the results page (how to get to a record) → the detail page (where GLA/beds/baths/year live). Note session/cookie/login steps. Use curl via Bash or WebFetch to confirm the exact requests.

What to return

A concise report the implementer can act on without redoing your work:

  • Platform name and base URL(s).
  • The exact request(s): method, URL, params/payload, any auth/session step.
  • The response shape and the field names mapping to each standard record key (owner, legal, parcel_number, above_grade_sqft, basement_sqft, beds, baths, year_built, values, taxes).
  • A clear verdict: which building fields are available, and whether this is an API client or a scrape. If building data isn't available anywhere, say so.

Mirror an existing client on the same family: jurisdictions/us/co/adams.py (ArcGIS JSON driver), platforms/spatialest.py (Spatialest JSON), or platforms/eagleweb.py (scrape). Stay read-only — do not edit files.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

explorer is an agent published in the GitHub repository chadru/assessor-lookup-public (6 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 52 tokens to every session and 579 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
