Use when a task needs official country-level statistics - "GDP / population / life expectancy / inflation / unemployment for country X over time", "compare indicator Y across countries", or EU-official figures ("Eurostat says…"). World Bank Indicators is the default (no key, every country, 1,400+ series back decades); Eurostat covers EU-official statistics. Do NOT use for a country's static facts like capital or currency - use geo-places instead; do NOT use for live FX rates or crypto - use…
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
# Government & Open Data Pull official statistics from the World Bank and Eurostat keyless. The mistakes this prevents: quoting a GDP figure from training memory when the real series is one call away, and the two structural traps - World Bank's off-by-default JSON and its indicator-code lookup step - that make first attempts fail. ## Ranked APIs 1. **World Bank Indicators** (api.worldbank.org/v2) - DEFAULT. ~1,400 indicators × every country × back to 1960. No key. The catch: you query by opaque indicator code (`NY.GDP.MKTP.CD`), so the lookup step below is mandatory for unfamiliar metrics. 2. **Eurostat** (ec.europa.eu/eurostat/api) - EU-official statistics when the user wants the EU source of record or EU-only granularity. No key, JSON-stat format (denser to parse - shape below). ## Procedure …

How to install
mdr add skillmedev/skills/government-open-data@sha256:4df951cec4773f93The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.bea4ea5, 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.
