publish-record skillA

publish-record is agent-read markdown (skill) from npstorey/civic-ai-tools: Publish the current Claude Code analysis to the civicaitools.org record registry as a cryptographically signed, timestamped, Rekor-logged record package. Invoke when the user has just completed a civic-data analysis (typically using the Socrata and/or Data Commons MCP tools) and says something like "publish this as a record", "publish this as evidence", "sign this analysis", "publish to civicaitools.org", or "make this a verifiable package.".

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# publish-record

This skill turns the current Claude Code conversation's civic-data analysis into a signed record package on civicaitools.org (the default target — see "Publishing to a different instance" below). It wraps `POST /api/records`; the endpoint contract lives in `civic-ai-tools-website/docs/api/records-publish.md`.

Renamed from `publish-evidence` by the 2026-08-19 vocabulary settlement (specification Appendix J: "evidence" is retired as the artifact/infrastructure name and retained only for the epistemic Question/Evidence/Claim role). **The old invocation still works** — `.claude/skills/publish-evidence/` remains as a permanent alias that routes here. There is one `publish.py`, in this directory; the alias never carries a copy.

## When to invoke

The user has just finished an analysis in this session using the Socrata MCP server (`mcp__socrata__*` tools) and/or the Data Commons MCP server (`mcp__data-commons__*` tools). They now want to publish the analysis as a verifiable record. Typical phrasings:

- "publish this as a record"
- "publish this as evidence" (the prior-era phrasing; still routes here)
- "publish to civicaitools.org"
- "sign this analysis"
