Trace textual changes to provisions of Australian Commonwealth Acts and registered instruments between two dates or compilations using Federal Register versions, compilation endnotes, amendment histories, amending legislation and commencement material. Use when asked what changed in a provision, which amendment made a change, when it commenced, whether it was incorporated, or whether endpoint text stayed the same despite intervening amendments. Do not use for Bills, State or Territory law…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Trace Commonwealth Legislative Change
Use the Federal Register of Legislation to produce an evidence-linked change
trace. Keep textual change, commencement, incorporation and legal operation as
separate questions.
Read [references/change-tracing-method.md](references/change-tracing-method.md)
before performing a trace. It defines the source hierarchy, comparison
semantics, attribution test and special cases.
## Workflow
1. Fix the scope.
- Accept Commonwealth Acts and registered legislative or notifiable
instruments.
- Record an earlier and later date or two uniquely identified compilations.
The later date may default to today's `Australia/Sydney` date when stated;
never invent the earlier date.
- Require an exact provision for a provision-level textual conclusion and
limit one trace to 10 expressly identified provisions. Without one,
provide only a compilation-event inventory.
- Return `OUTSIDE SCOPE` for Bills, State or Territory law, case treatment,
deadlines, interpretation, transitional operation, application to facts
or substantive legal advice.
2. Resolve the title and complete interval.

How to install
mdr add thomasmoreai/legal-skills-open/trace-commonwealth-legislative-change-l0cka@sha256:fdaa41ac08f2a0fcThe line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
