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.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium
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 →
- medium Excessive Agency · line 139 Skill allows unbounded resource consumption (API calls, storage, compute). Without rate limits or quotas, a compromised or misbehaving agent can cause denial-of-service or cost overruns.Fix: Set explicit rate limits, timeouts, and resource quotas for API calls, file operations, and compute. Implement circuit breakers for runaway loops.
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 | $0.03851 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00020 | $0.01925 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00770 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00385 |
Grade A, and why
brazil-records-requests 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 12d 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 — 326 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Brazilian public records requests (LAI)
Brazil's Access to Information Law, Lei 12.527/2011, universally called the LAI, is one of the stronger transparency statutes in Latin America and one of the most under-used by reporters. Most denials are not legal defeats. They are drafting failures that a differently worded request would have avoided.
This skill covers the full cycle: choosing the body, drafting, filing, tracking, and the four-level appeal chain.
When to use
- Drafting a request to any Brazilian government body
- Deciding which body and which portal actually holds the records
- Diagnosing a denial and deciding whether to appeal or refile
- Writing an appeal at any of the four levels
- Planning the timeline of an investigation that depends on records
- Training reporters on LAI practice
Do not use for
- US records requests, use
foia-requests - Court case data, which in Brazil is mostly public through other channels (DataJud, e-SAJ, PJe) and rarely needs a records request
- Data already published under transparência ativa (see "Check first" below)
Language
Respond in the language the reporter writes in. Draft anything addressed to a Brazilian public body — the request itself, appeals, follow-ups — in Portuguese, whatever language the conversation is in.
Portuguese is not a validity requirement: LAI art. 10 and Decree 7.724/2012 art. 12 require the requester's identification and a description of the information, and neither mandates a language or authorizes denial for using another one. It is a practical one. The clerk reading the request works in Portuguese, and a request that is not understood gets bounced as generic under Decree 7.724, art. 13, I — which costs the full 20 days and a refile. Where the receiving body publishes its own filing rules, check them; subnational practice varies.
Check first: is a request even necessary?
Art. 8 of the LAI obliges agencies to publish core categories of information on their own initiative. Filing for something already public wastes 20 days and signals inexperience to the agency.

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.

brazil-records-requests is a skill published in the GitHub repository jamditis/claude-skills-journalism (391 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 41 tokens to every session and 3,851 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
