reg-feed-watcher

reg-feed-watcher is a skill for Claude Code from anthropics/claude-for-legal. It costs 65 tokens per session (3,515 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A regulatory-news checker that reads configured government and other legal-information feeds. It filters new items by materiality, meaning how much they may matter to the organisation, instead of showing every update.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check what regulators have published since the previous check, classify updates by importance, and identify gaps in feed coverage.
Why use it?
Regulatory feeds can produce too much low-value information to review manually. This separates potentially important developments from routine noise.

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

reg-feed-watcher 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 23d 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.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 228 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/reg-feed-watcher

  1. Load ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/regulatory-legal/CLAUDE.md → watchlist, materiality threshold, feed config.
  2. Use the workflow below.
  3. Pull each feed. Filter by materiality.
  4. Output: what's new, categorized by materiality tier.

Purpose

Pull the feeds. Filter by materiality. Output what's left. The filter is the value — unfiltered feeds are noise.

Load context

~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/regulatory-legal/CLAUDE.md → watchlist, materiality threshold, feed configuration, digest output path (if set).

references/source-catalog.md (in this skill's directory) → curated catalog of RSS/JSON/HTML sources across US federal, US state, EU/UK, international, and secondary/aggregator categories. Use when configuring new sources or when the user's watchlist has coverage gaps (see Step 0).

Workflow

Step 0: Coverage check (before pulling)

Before running the pull, compare the watchlist + feed configuration in CLAUDE.md against references/source-catalog.md:

  • Which categories (US federal / US state / EU-UK / international) does the user care about per their watchlist?
  • Which of those categories have zero or very few sources configured?

If there's an obvious gap — e.g., user watches "EU regulators" in the watchlist but has only edpb.europa.eu configured in feeds, missing ICO, CNIL, DPC Ireland — surface it once at the top of the digest:

Coverage gap noticed: Your watchlist includes [category], but only [N] feeds are configured. The source catalog lists [X] options in this category (e.g., [top 2-3 names]). Want me to suggest additions? Run /regulatory-legal:cold-start-interview --redo to update, or edit ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/regulatory-legal/CLAUDE.md directly.

Don't nag the same gap repeatedly — if the user has explicitly said "skip state AGs for now," respect that. Note state in CLAUDE.md so it sticks.

Step 1: Pull

Pull from all configured feed tiers. Every installation has Tier 1. Tiers 2 and 3 are additive — use them if configured, skip if not.

What ships with it

1 file 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.
