wsdot-guide

wsdot-guide is a skill for Claude Code from cyanheads/wsdot-mcp-server. It costs 42 tokens per session (604 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for planning Washington State ferry trips using WSDOT data. WSDOT is the Washington State Department of Transportation; its ferry information covers schedules, alerts, terminal space, and vessel evidence.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find a suitable ferry sailing, check whether service is running, assess vehicle eligibility, and review terminal or vessel conditions.
Why use it?
It prevents unreliable recommendations by requiring the correct date and direction, checking service alerts, and matching live capacity to the intended departure and destination.

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

wsdot-guide 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 yesterday.

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 — 34 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Scope

Use WSDOT's ferry tools for published sailings and current operating conditions. They do not quote fares, buy tickets, or make vehicle reservations. Highway conditions, tolls, cameras, and border waits use the other wsdot_* tools; they do not establish ferry service.

Gates

  • Establish the requested travel date and direction before selecting a sailing. Use the terminal lookup and date-specific route pairs described by the tools; do not assume the reverse direction has the same departures.
  • Read each candidate sailing's resolved annotations and the pair-wide sailing notes before recommending it for a car. Do not infer vehicle eligibility from a loading-rule number alone.
  • Check ferry alerts before claiming a scheduled sailing will run. Read the full bulletin body for replacements and restrictions, include fleet-wide alerts, and retain unresolved route IDs as unresolved coverage. A date's route list does not cover every seasonal or interisland alert ID.
  • Match live space to the departure and intended destination IDs. An itinerary label can name multiple stops or the departure terminal; it does not identify the destination by itself.
  • Keep cancellation state and space-reporting flags with the counts. A missing or unreported count does not mean zero, and a positive count is a current observation rather than a boarding guarantee.
  • If WSF rejects a date or reports no routes loaded for it, report that schedule coverage limit. Do not conclude that the crossing never operates.

Workflows

Choose a sailing for a vehicle trip

Find the date's directed terminal pair with wsdot_get_ferry_routes, then read wsdot_get_ferry_schedule. Resolve the candidate sailings' annotation indexes against the returned annotations, including the pair-wide notes. Combine that eligibility evidence with wsdot_get_ferry_alerts; the schedule has no per-sailing cancellation flag and alerts apply to routes rather than identifying every affected departure.

Assess the next departure

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.
