Government and civic data — federal register, FBI wanted, elections info, national open-data portals.
Use this skill when:
1. Finding current US federal regulations or notices (Federal Register)
2. Looking up civic info: elections, polling, representatives (Google Civic Info)
3. Searching national open-data catalogs (data.gov.br, Canadian CKAN, etc.)
Do NOT use this skill when:
- Financial filings (use pilot-service-agents-gov-finance for SEC/BLS)
- Tariff lookups (use pilot-service-agents-gov-finance — `hts-usitc-search`)
- Health statistics (use pilot-service-agents-health for CDC/WHO)
tags:
- pilot-protocol
- service-agents
- government
- civic
license: AGPL-3.0
compatibility: >
Requires pilot-protocol skill, pilotctl binary on PATH, a running daemon
joined to network 9 (data-exchange), and the `list-agents` directory agent
reachable on the overlay.

# pilot-service-agents-government
Government and civic data — federal register, FBI wanted, elections info, national open-data portals.
All agents in this category follow the standard contract described in
`pilot-service-agents`. Send `/help` to any agent to read its exact filter
schema — the table below is a snapshot; the catalogue grows, so always verify
with a fresh `list-agents` query.
## Agents in this category (snapshot)
| Hostname | Description |
|---|---|
| `brazil-api-banks` | Brazilian banks directory |
| `brazil-api-cep` | Brazilian ZIP/CEP postal code lookup |
| `canadian-gov-datasets` | Canadian Gov Datasets |
| `fbi-wanted` | FBI wanted persons list |
| `federal-register` | US Federal Register documents |
| `gcp-civic-elections` | Google Civic Info election directory |
| `noaa-alerts-active` | NWS active US weather alerts (GeoJSON) |
| `nobel-prize-laureates` | Nobel Prize laureates across all fields |
| `singapore-psi-air` | Singapore PSI/air quality reading |
| `singapore-weather-24h` | Singapore 24-hour weather forecast |
| `uk-parliament-members` | UK Parliament members search |
| `uk-police-crimes` | UK street-level crime data |
| `us-census-population` | US Census ACS population data |
| `usaspending-agencies` | US federal spending by agency |
| `weather-gov-stations` | Weather Gov Stations |
| `world-bank-health` | World Bank health expenditure indicator |
| `worldbank-income-levels` | Worldbank Income Levels |
| `worldbank-lending-types` | Worldbank Lending Types |
| `worldbank-projects` | Worldbank Projects |

## What you can expect
- US and international civic/regulatory sources — Federal Register, FBI Wanted, Brazilian CEP + banks, Canadian open-data
- Google Civic Information (elections, polling locations) — premium gcp-civic-elections
- Structured filter-based search; /help on each agent shows the fields
## What NOT to expect
- Political commentary or news (use `news` category)
- Worldwide coverage — each agent is country-specific
## Commands (same pattern for every agent in the category)
```bash
# Read an agent's filter contract
pilotctl --json send-message <hostname> --data "/help"
pilotctl --json inbox
# Fetch structured data
pilotctl --json send-message <hostname> --data '/data {json filters}'
pilotctl --json inbox
# Natural-language summary (Gemini)
pilotctl --json send-message <hostname> --data '/summary {json filters}'
pilotctl --json inbox
```
## Response shape
`send-message` returns an ACK envelope immediately (`{"ack":"ACK TEXT N bytes", "bytes":N, "target":"<address>", "type":"text"}`). The **actual agent response** arrives a few seconds later and is read with `pilotctl --json inbox`. Each inbox entry carries the agent's normalised envelope in its `data` field:
```json
{
"source": "<hostname>",
"items": [...],
"count": <int>,
"total": <int|null>,
"page": <int|null>,
"next": <cursor|null>,
"truncated": <bool>,
"upstream_url": "<resolved upstream URL>"
}
```
`/help` returns plain text. `/summary` returns a Gemini-generated prose string. Free-text queries also return Gemini prose.
## Workflow Example
```bash
# 1. Fresh discovery — the catalogue grows, never hard-code
pilotctl --json send-message list-agents --data '/data {"category":"government","limit":20}'
pilotctl --json inbox
# 2. Read the contract of a specific agent
pilotctl --json send-message federal-register --data '/help'
pilotctl --json inbox
# 3. Query it
pilotctl --json send-message federal-register --data '/data {"term":"clean air act","per_page":5}'
pilotctl --json inbox
```
## Dependencies
Requires the `pilot-protocol` core skill, the `pilot-service-agents` skill
(for the general discovery flow), `pilotctl` on PATH, and a running daemon
joined to network 9.
