# ZoningVerdict Agent Skill

ZoningVerdict is an agent-facing municipal zoning ordinance data service. Records tell you what's on file; ZoningVerdict tells you what the ordinance actually says, independently verified, with the citation.

Coverage: 62 municipalities in 6 states. Topics: permitted_uses, special_land_uses, setbacks, height, lot_coverage, lot_size, parking, adu, accessory_structures, fences, signs, home_occupation, variance_process.

Terms: https://zoningverdict.com/terms (v0-draft).

Disclaimer: ZoningVerdict summarizes public zoning regulations for information purposes. It is not legal advice, professional architectural or engineering services, or a substitute for confirmation with the municipality. Regulations change; verify before acting.

## Recommended Flow

1. Free discovery: call check_coverage with an address or municipality string. It returns whether ZoningVerdict covers the place, which topics are available, the content pack version, and the last-reviewed date. It does not identify the parcel's zoning district.
2. Resolve only when needed: call resolve_parcel_district or POST /api/v1/parcel/resolve to identify the covered municipality and zoning district for a specific address.
3. Fetch rules and questions: call get_district_rules or GET /api/v1/rules with the returned municipality and district code, then ask_zoning_question or GET /api/v1/questions for reviewed Q&A.
4. Do not guess district codes. The free district listing and every teaching error name the valid next call.
