Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00126 | $0.03213 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00063 | $0.01606 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00025 | $0.00643 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00321 |
Grade A, and why
LocalIntelligence 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 2d 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.

Customization
Before executing, check for user customizations at:
~/.claude/LIFEOS/USER/CUSTOMIZATIONS/SKILLS/LocalIntelligence/
If this directory exists, load and apply any PREFERENCES.md, optional source-list overrides, or per-source API keys (e.g., OpenStates, Google News topic ID). These override defaults. If the directory does not exist, proceed with skill defaults — universal sources only.
sources.json in the same directory is the deterministic per-city source list (RSS feeds, local JSON APIs) consumed by Tools/UserSources.ts on every refresh — see Tools/UserSources.help.md for the schema. City-specific URLs belong there, never in this skill.
Voice Notification
When executing a workflow, do BOTH:
-
Send voice notification:
curl -s -X POST http://localhost:31337/notify \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"message": "Running WORKFLOWNAME in LocalIntelligence"}' \ > /dev/null 2>&1 & -
Output text notification:
Running **WorkflowName** in **LocalIntelligence**...
What It Does
LocalIntelligence is a civic intelligence aggregator for any US city. It pulls eight categories of local data — construction permits, crime, new businesses, public officials, legislation, elections, arrests, and local news — into a single daily JSON digest, keyed off the city in the principal's identity file and served to the Pulse LOCAL tab. Crime delegates to the dedicated crime-stats skill.
The Problem
What's actually happening where you live is scattered across a dozen sites that nobody checks — the city's permit portal, the council agenda system, the sheriff's blotter, a local paper, the elections office. No single feed tells you a new ordinance is up for a vote, a building is going up down the street, or an election is coming. Most "local news" tools either cover one city, hardcode endpoints that break, or paywall the good stories. This skill stays generic across every US city, resolves the target city at runtime, and degrades gracefully when a source has no data instead of blanking the whole digest.
What ships with it
26 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.

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.

LocalIntelligence is a skill published in the GitHub repository danielmiessler/LifeOS (18,798 stars, last pushed 18d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 126 tokens to every session and 3,213 once invoked, about $0.0006 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 2026-08-30.
