Verify the identity, status, applicable point-in-time version, Register IDs, and currency qualifications of Australian Commonwealth Acts and registered instruments using the Federal Register of Legislation. Use when a user asks whether Commonwealth legislation is current or in force, which compilation applied on a date, whether a citation or supplied provision matches the official text, or for an evidence-linked legislation currency check. Do not use for State or Territory law, Bills, court…
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
# Check Commonwealth Legislation
Use the Federal Register of Legislation as the controlling source. Produce a
provenance record, not a bare assertion that legislation is "current".
Read [references/register-method.md](references/register-method.md) before
performing a check. It defines the official-source rules, edge cases and result
schema.
## Workflow
1. Fix the scope.
- Accept Commonwealth Acts and registered legislative or notifiable
instruments.
- Record the requested date. If none is given, use today's
`Australia/Sydney` date and state it explicitly.
- Return `OUTSIDE SCOPE` for State or Territory law, Bills, deadlines, case
treatment or a request for legal advice. Do not silently substitute a
secondary source.
2. Resolve identity.
- Search `legislation.gov.au` and identify the official title page.
- Match the name, collection, principal/amending character, year/number and
Title ID. Treat multiple plausible titles as ambiguous.
- When command execution is available, use the bundled helper:
```bash
python3 <skill-root>/scripts/frl_lookup.py search "Privacy Act 1988"

How to install
mdr add thomasmoreai/legal-skills-open/check-commonwealth-legislation-l0cka@sha256:ac353b42f7698770The 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.
