A tool for analyzing Federal Election Commission (FEC) campaign-finance filings. The FEC is the U.S. agency that publishes records about political committees, contributions, and spending.

Use it to fetch and examine filings by ID, review contributions and disbursements, and filter or stream large filings.

It helps inspect filing data without manually handling large reports, including checking the filing size before downloading it.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00041	$0.02398
Opus 5	$0.00020	$0.01199
Sonnet 5	$0.00008	$0.00480
Haiku 4.5	$0.00004	$0.00240

Security

Grade A, and why

fecfile 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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/fetch_filing.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.

FEC Filing Analysis

This skill enables analysis of Federal Election Commission campaign finance filings.

Requirements

uv must be installed
Python 3.9+

Dependencies are automatically installed when running the script with uv run.

First-Time Check

The first time this skill is invoked in a session, verify that uv is installed by running:

uv --version

If this command fails or uv is not found, do not proceed. Instead, inform the user that uv is required but not installed, and direct them to the installation guide: https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/

Quick Start

Always start by checking the filing size:

uv run --script skills/fecfile/scripts/fetch_filing.py <FILING_ID> --summary-only

Based on the summary, decide how to proceed—see Handling Large Filings below for filtering and streaming strategies. Small filings can be fetched directly; large filings require pre-filtering or streaming.

Fetching data:

uv run --script skills/fecfile/scripts/fetch_filing.py <FILING_ID>                   # Full filing (small filings only)
uv run --script skills/fecfile/scripts/fetch_filing.py <FILING_ID> --schedule A      # Only contributions
uv run --script skills/fecfile/scripts/fetch_filing.py <FILING_ID> --schedule B      # Only disbursements
uv run --script skills/fecfile/scripts/fetch_filing.py <FILING_ID> --schedules A,B   # Multiple schedules

The fecfile library is installed automatically by uv.

Field Name Policy

IMPORTANT: Do not guess at field names. Before referencing any field names in responses:

For form-level fields (summary data, cash flow, totals): Read references/FORMS.md
For itemization fields (contributors, payees, expenditures): Read references/SCHEDULES.md

These files contain the authoritative field mappings. If a field name isn't documented there, verify it exists in the actual JSON output before using it.

Files

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
