Name: Locus
Author: velinussage

Install two Locus agent skills: the general MCP/REST/A2A capability guide and the opt-in surrounding-area purchase 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

npx @velinussage/locus-agent-skill add

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

Options:

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

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

Preview first:

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:

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

Useful variants:

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

What the skills teach agents

23+ national free tools work for geocodable US addresses, with 51 free tools total in the live catalog.
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.
Paid endpoints use live x402 discovery and require explicit user authorization.
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.

Paid endpoint surface

The live paid index is authoritative: https://api.locus.report/.well-known/ai-tool/index.json. Current endpoints are:

Endpoint	Current price	Notes
`POST /api/locus-place-report`	`$0.05`	Compiled cited property-context artifact.
`POST /api/locus-place-report-batch`	`$0.25`	Async 10-50 address portfolio job, one settlement.
`POST /api/locus-local-trend-brief`	`$0.05`	Permit, 311, and code-case local-change brief where source coverage is strong enough.
`POST /api/locus-local-policy-brief`	`$0.07`	Property-relevant bills, agendas, ordinances, tax, fee, bond, housing, and permit-change context.
`POST /api/locus-before-you-sign`	`$0.07`	Pre-decision bundle over parcel, trend, and policy components.
`POST /api/locus-environmental-context`	`$0.05`	Address-level EPA TRI/RCRA/SDWIS/radon context ranked by distance where possible.
`POST /api/locus-property-tax`	`$0.05`	Residential property-tax artifact with assessed value, annual tax, history, effective rate, and provenance.
`POST /api/locus-surrounding-area-analysis`	`$0.10`	Stored, bounded JSON evidence packet. Charge-suppressed unless the subject, surrounding-parcel foundation, and another component complete.

Unsupported, discovery-only, commercial, or insufficient-data cases return free diagnostics instead of charging where applicable.
