## Description
Official US-address public records: zoning, flood, parcel, permits, taxes. Free look, x402 paid.

## Claude Desktop Quick Installation
Install path detected from listing signals. Uses `npx` (confidence: high):

## Documentation & README

# @velinussage/locus-agent-skill

[![skills.sh](https://skills.sh/b/velinussage/locus-agent-skill)](https://skills.sh/velinussage/locus-agent-skill)

Install three Locus agent skills: the general MCP/REST/A2A capability guide, the opt-in surrounding-area purchase workflow, and the property-tax protest workflow.

Locus returns awareness and verification steps, not a verdict. Do not use it to score, rank, screen, value, predict, or label a person, property, block, or neighborhood as safe or unsafe.

## Install with this package

```bash
npx @velinussage/locus-agent-skill add
```

By default this writes `locus-agent-tools/`, `locus-surrounding-area-analysis/`, and `locus-property-tax-protest/` to `$CODEX_HOME/skills` or `~/.codex/skills`. The general public skill routes relevant requests to the specialist workflows; it does not turn ordinary Locus discovery into a paid flow.

Options:

```bash
npx @velinussage/locus-agent-skill add --target ./skills
npx @velinussage/locus-agent-skill add --target ./skills --force
npx @velinussage/locus-agent-skill --print
```

## Install with GitHub CLI

```bash
gh skill install velinussage/locus-agent-skill locus-agent-tools
```

Preview first:

```bash
gh skill preview velinussage/locus-agent-skill locus-agent-tools
```

## Install with skills.sh

The same skill is also available from the public GitHub repo through the open `skills` CLI:

```bash
npx skills add velinussage/locus-agent-skill --skill locus-agent-tools
```

Useful variants:

```bash
npx skills add velinussage/locus-agent-skill --skill locus-agent-tools -g
npx skills add velinussage/locus-agent-skill --skill locus-agent-tools -a claude-code -a codex
npx skills use velinussage/locus-agent-skill --skill locus-agent-tools
```

## Connect to Locus MCP

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "locus": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.locus.report/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

## What the skills teach agents

- The full free catalog exposes 104 tools, including 58 national free lanes. Read the live catalog because rollout configuration can change the visible total.
- `locus_place_facts` is the best first call when supported.
- `locus_lane_availability` shows national, local, varies, not-covered, and degraded lanes before payment.
- Free tools stay read-only and cited.
- `locus_rental_registration_check` declares its scope per jurisdiction. Long-term registration is wired in Minneapolis, Montgomery County, New York City, and Seattle; Denver is short-term-license only; Kansas City is building-enforcement only. It returns no legal-rental or compliance verdict.
- The property-tax protest workflow keeps deadline, filing-guide, evidence, browser handoff, and published-outcome facts separate from the owner's own filing and value position.
- Paid endpoints use live x402 discovery, may offer USDC on Base and Solana, and require explicit user authorization. Agents choose one complete `accepts[]` entry.
- The surrounding-area workflow requires two separate approvals: $0.10 for the reusable JSON packet, then $0.15 for an eligible HTML/PDF report within 24 hours. Packet and report retrieval are proof-gated for 90 days.
