Public records requests under Brazil's Access to Information Law (LAI). Use for Fala.BR filings, e-SIC, and CGU/CMRI appeals.
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
# Brazilian public records requests (LAI) Brazil's Access to Information Law, Lei 12.527/2011, universally called the LAI, is one of the stronger transparency statutes in Latin America and one of the most under-used by reporters.

mdr add jamditis/claude-skills-journalism/brazil-records-requests@sha256:44e48e6ed1826fa7The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260818.0ce6282, 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.
