legislative-tracker

legislative-tracker is a skill for Claude Code from psd401/psd-claude-plugins. It costs 54 tokens per session (2,495 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of legislative-tracker, MIT.

A tool for tracking Washington State laws that affect kindergarten through 12th-grade education. It checks bills assigned to education-related committees through the legislature’s SOAP API, including bills whose wording may not mention schools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Checking education legislation, preparing legislative updates, and adding a Washington State K–12 section to a morning briefing.
Why use it?
Keyword searches can miss bills that affect schools indirectly. Committee-based searches aim to find all bills handled by the relevant education committees.

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

legislative-tracker 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 2mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 5 executable files (scripts/get_bill_info.js, scripts/get_bills.js, scripts/get_committee_bills.js, …), 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.

Legislative Tracker Skill

Track Washington State K-12 education legislation from leg.wa.gov using committee-based discovery. This approach queries committees directly via SOAP API to get ALL bills - not just keyword matches.

Why Committee-Based Discovery

Problem with keyword searching: Bills with unexpected wording or indirect impacts get missed. A bill about "unfunded mandates" might never mention "school" but still affect districts.

Solution: Query education committees directly. If a bill is in the House Education Committee or Senate Early Learning & K-12 Education Committee, it's education-related by definition.


Discovery Strategy

Tier 1: Direct Education Bills (Comprehensive)

Query these committees to get ALL education bills:

Committee Chamber Query
Education House All bills - no filtering
Early Learning & K-12 Education Senate All bills - no filtering

Tier 2: Indirect Impact Bills (Candidates)

Query these committees and filter via WebFetch:

Committee Chamber
Appropriations House
Capital Budget House
Labor & Workplace Standards House
Ways & Means Senate
Labor & Commerce Senate
State Government, Tribal Affairs & Elections Senate

Workflow: The SOAP API returns only bill IDs. Geoffrey must:

  1. Get all bill IDs from Tier 2 committees (~700 bills)
  2. WebFetch each bill's summary page to get the title/description
  3. Filter for education keywords in the description
  4. Add matching bills to the tracked list

Filter keywords: school, student, teacher, education, k-12, district, ospi, classroom, principal, paraeducator, learning, instruction, curriculum, diploma, graduation, superintendent, levy, bond, capital, school construction

Tier 3: WebSearch Fallback

If SOAP API fails, use WebSearch:

site:leg.wa.gov "referred to Education" 2025-26
site:leg.wa.gov "Early Learning & K-12" 2025-26
site:leg.wa.gov K-12 school district bill 2025

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.
