Legislative Tracker Skill

立法追踪Skill

Track Washington State K-12 education legislation from leg.wa.gov using committee-based discovery. This approach queries committees directly via SOAP API to get ALL bills - not just keyword matches.
通过基于委员会的检索方式，从leg.wa.gov追踪华盛顿州K-12教育立法。该方法通过SOAP API直接查询委员会，获取所有相关法案——而非仅匹配关键词的法案。

Why Committee-Based Discovery

为何选择基于委员会的检索方式

Problem with keyword searching: Bills with unexpected wording or indirect impacts get missed. A bill about "unfunded mandates" might never mention "school" but still affect districts.
Solution: Query education committees directly. If a bill is in the House Education Committee or Senate Early Learning & K-12 Education Committee, it's education-related by definition.
**关键词搜索的问题：**措辞特殊或有间接影响的法案会被遗漏。例如一项关于“无资金支持的强制要求”的法案可能从未提及“学校”，但仍会对学区产生影响。
**解决方案：**直接查询教育委员会。若某法案属于众议院教育委员会或参议院早期学习与K-12教育委员会，则该法案必然与教育相关。

Discovery Strategy

检索策略

Tier 1: Direct Education Bills (Comprehensive)

第一层：直接教育类法案（全覆盖）

Query these committees to get ALL education bills:
CommitteeChamberQuery
EducationHouseAll bills - no filtering
Early Learning & K-12 EducationSenateAll bills - no filtering
查询以下委员会，获取所有教育相关法案：
委员会议院查询规则
Education众议院所有法案——无过滤
Early Learning & K-12 Education参议院所有法案——无过滤

Tier 2: Indirect Impact Bills (Candidates)

第二层：间接影响类法案（候选）

Query these committees and filter via WebFetch:
CommitteeChamber
AppropriationsHouse
Capital BudgetHouse
Labor & Workplace StandardsHouse
Ways & MeansSenate
Labor & CommerceSenate
State Government, Tribal Affairs & ElectionsSenate
Workflow: The SOAP API returns only bill IDs. Geoffrey must:
  1. Get all bill IDs from Tier 2 committees (~700 bills)
  2. WebFetch each bill's summary page to get the title/description
  3. Filter for education keywords in the description
  4. Add matching bills to the tracked list
Filter keywords: school, student, teacher, education, k-12, district, ospi, classroom, principal, paraeducator, learning, instruction, curriculum, diploma, graduation, superintendent, levy, bond, capital, school construction
查询以下委员会，并通过WebFetch进行过滤：
委员会议院
Appropriations众议院
Capital Budget众议院
Labor & Workplace Standards众议院
Ways & Means参议院
Labor & Commerce参议院
State Government, Tribal Affairs & Elections参议院
**工作流程：**SOAP API仅返回法案ID。Geoffrey需执行以下步骤：
  1. 获取第二层委员会的所有法案ID（约700项）
  2. 通过WebFetch获取每项法案的摘要页面，提取标题和描述
  3. 在描述中筛选教育类关键词
  4. 将匹配的法案添加至追踪列表
**筛选关键词：**school, student, teacher, education, k-12, district, ospi, classroom, principal, paraeducator, learning, instruction, curriculum, diploma, graduation, superintendent, levy, bond, capital, school construction

Tier 3: WebSearch Fallback

第三层：WebSearch备选方案

If SOAP API fails, use WebSearch:
site:leg.wa.gov "referred to Education" 2025-26
site:leg.wa.gov "Early Learning & K-12" 2025-26
site:leg.wa.gov K-12 school district bill 2025
若SOAP API失效，使用WebSearch：
site:leg.wa.gov "referred to Education" 2025-26
site:leg.wa.gov "Early Learning & K-12" 2025-26
site:leg.wa.gov K-12 school district bill 2025

Workflow Phases

工作流程阶段

Phase 1: Committee Discovery (SOAP)

阶段1：委员会检索（SOAP）

Run the orchestrator script:
bash
bun skills/legislative-tracker/scripts/get_bills.js
Returns two lists:
  • confirmed_bills: From Tier 1 education committees (definitely education-related)
  • tier2_candidates: From Tier 2 finance committees (need filtering)
运行编排脚本：
bash
bun skills/legislative-tracker/scripts/get_bills.js
返回两个列表：
  • confirmed_bills：来自第一层教育委员会的法案（确定与教育相关）
  • tier2_candidates：来自第二层财政委员会的法案（需过滤）

Phase 2: WebFetch Confirmed Bills

阶段2：WebFetch确认类法案

For each bill in 
confirmed_bills
:
URL: https://app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?BillNumber={NUM}&Year=2025
Extract full details for analysis.
针对
confirmed_bills
中的每项法案：
URL: https://app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?BillNumber={NUM}&Year=2025
提取完整详情用于分析。

Phase 3: Filter Tier 2 Candidates

阶段3：过滤第二层候选法案

For each bill in 
tier2_candidates
:
  1. WebFetch the bill summary page
  2. Check if title/description contains education keywords
  3. If relevant, add to tracked bills list
Education keywords: school, student, teacher, education, k-12, district, ospi, classroom, principal, paraeducator, learning, instruction, curriculum, diploma, graduation, superintendent, levy, bond, capital
针对
tier2_candidates
中的每项法案：
  1. WebFetch法案摘要页面
  2. 检查标题/描述是否包含教育类关键词
  3. 若相关，添加至追踪法案列表
**教育类关键词：**school, student, teacher, education, k-12, district, ospi, classroom, principal, paraeducator, learning, instruction, curriculum, diploma, graduation, superintendent, levy, bond, capital

Phase 4: Analysis

阶段4：分析

Apply analysis framework to all tracked bills:
  • Assign priority level (HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW)
  • Categorize impact type (FISCAL/OPERATIONAL/WORKFORCE/GOVERNANCE)
  • Assess fiscal implications
  • Flag district legislator sponsorship
对所有追踪法案应用分析框架：
  • 分配优先级（高/中/低）
  • 分类影响类型（财政/运营/人力/治理）
  • 评估财政影响
  • 标记由本区议员发起的法案

Phase 4: Output
