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.".
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
# 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" …

How to install
mdr add npstorey/civic-ai-tools/publish-record@sha256:ce11294ce564fceaThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260822.447cf69, 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.
