crs-tracker
by ProfAmiot
Download newly published Congressional Research Service (CRS) reports from Congress.gov by publication date. Use this skill whenever the user wants to pull, monitor, download, sync, archive, or fetch CRS reports — including requests like "what CRS reports came out yesterday", "download today's new CRS reports", "check for new CRS publications", "get CRS reports from [date]", or anything about ad-hoc CRS report collection. Also trigger this if the user mentions Congressional Research Service publications by name. This skill runs a Python script that queries the Congress.gov API for reports updated in a target date window, compares each report's current PDF URL against a local SQLite database, and downloads any reports that are new or have a newer PDF version. Requires network access to api.congress.gov (works in Claude Code, local machines, cron jobs, and GitHub Actions — does NOT work inside Claude.ai's web sandbox, which blocks that domain).
