This skill should be used when the user asks to "query Cook County data", "find Cook County datasets", "get property assessments", "download parcel data", "search datacatalog.cookcountyil.gov", "get medical examiner data", "find court cases", "query State's Attorney data", or mentions Cook County government data (assessor, treasurer, courts, payroll, medical examiner, etc.).

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

# Cook County Data Portal Skill

Query and download datasets from the Cook County Open Data Portal using the Socrata Open Data API (SODA) and SoQL.

## Prerequisites

Before querying, check if the user has an app token:

1. Look for `COOK_COUNTY_DATA_PORTAL_TOKEN` in the user's `.env` file
2. If not found, check for `CHICAGO_DATA_PORTAL_TOKEN` (both portals use Socrata, so tokens are interchangeable)
3. If found, use it in requests via header: `X-App-Token: <token>`
4. If neither token exists, instruct the user to:
   - Sign up at https://datacatalog.cookcountyil.gov/signup (or https://data.cityofchicago.org/signup)
   - Create an app token in Developer Settings
   - Add to `.env`: `COOK_COUNTY_DATA_PORTAL_TOKEN=your_token_here`

Queries work without a token but are rate-limited.

## Quick Start

The Cook County Data Portal is at `datacatalog.cookcountyil.gov`. Each dataset has a unique 4x4 ID (e.g., `uzyt-m557` for assessed values). Use the catalog API to discover datasets, then query via SODA.

## Workflow

### Step 1: Clarify the Data Need

Ask the user:
- **Topic**: What data? (property assessments, court cases, payroll, medical examiner, etc.)
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add misterclean/ai-plugins/cook-county-data-portal@sha256:acb3a47662ca43d8

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, 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.
