A research workflow for explaining and tracing United States federal acquisition rules, including the Federal Acquisition Regulation and related agency supplements.

In plain words
What is it for?

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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

acquisition-policy-workflow scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/build_acquisition_policy_brief.py, scripts/validate_acquisition_policy_brief.py, scripts/validate_policy_research_record.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Acquisition Policy Workflow

Purpose

Explain and trace published federal acquisition policy with an explicit as-of date, source hierarchy, and documented-status boundary. Support concise sourced chat answers and, when a written product is requested, a route-specific .docx for government, industry, or neutral audiences.

The complete workflow uses the eCFR, Federal Register, Regulations.gov, and Acquisition.gov MCP servers. Use only the capabilities required by the selected mode. Do not substitute direct HTTP, shell requests, or a general web provider for a missing required MCP.

Startup data-access readiness

On every new invocation, first call the regulations-gov server's get_access_status operation. This is a local, presence-only status call; it must not contact Regulations.gov or reveal a credential value.

For limited_fallback, show this block before the routed mode or menu:

Data access readiness
- Regulations.gov: REGULATIONS_GOV_API_KEY is not configured. Docket and public-comment research will use the shared DEMO_KEY fallback, limited to approximately 10 requests per hour.
- Setup: https://1102tools.com/setup#credentials

If get_access_status is absent, show this block instead:

Data access readiness
- Regulations.gov: Readiness could not be checked because get_access_status is missing. The Regulations.gov MCP package or shared 1102tools host profile is outdated or incomplete. Update the installation, restart the client, and try again.
- Setup: https://1102tools.com/setup#credentials

For configured_unverified, do not claim that the key is valid and do not add a warning. Never display, request, or transmit the credential value.

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
