Locus

@velinussage/locus-agent-skill

Install thirteen Locus agent skills: the general MCP/REST/A2A capability guide, the media-to-market photo/video regional triangulation workflow, the opt-in surrounding-area purchase workflow, the property-tax protest workflow, the land-entitlement and LiDAR drainage workflow, home-watch, water-incident, seller-readiness, escrow-shock, payment-hardship, insurance-nonrenewal, inherited-home, and aging-owner workflows.

Locus returns awareness and verification steps, not a verdict. Do not use it to score, rank, screen, value, predict, or label a person, property, block, or neighborhood as safe or unsafe.

Install with this package

npx @velinussage/locus-agent-skill add

By default this writes locus-agent-tools/, locus-media-to-market/, locus-surrounding-area-analysis/, locus-property-tax-protest/, locus-land-entitlement/, locus-home-watch/, locus-water-incident/, locus-seller-readiness/, locus-escrow-shock/, locus-payment-hardship/, locus-insurance-nonrenewal/, locus-inherited-home/ and locus-aging-owner/ to $CODEX_HOME/skills or ~/.codex/skills. The general public skill routes relevant requests to the specialist workflows; it does not turn ordinary Locus discovery into a paid flow.

Options:

npx @velinussage/locus-agent-skill add --target ./skills

npx @velinussage/locus-agent-skill add --target ./skills --force npx @velinussage/locus-agent-skill --print

What the skills teach agents

• Read the live free catalog for current tools and national lanes; rollout configuration can change the visible total.
• locus_place_facts is the best first call when supported.
• When you have only 1–5 photos or a short video clip and no street address yet, start with locus_media_upload_init and locus_media_locate (free EXIF/text check) or locus-media-locate ($0.05) / locus-video-locate ($0.10) / locus-media-to-market ($0.15) / locus-video-to-market ($0.25) to triangulate the region and follow its pre-populated nextTools (livingThere, buyingThere, whatChangedNearby).
• locus_lane_availability shows national, local, varies, not-covered, and degraded lanes before payment.
• Free tools stay read-only and cited.
• The payment-hardship workflow routes mortgage trouble to HUD counseling agencies first, then official state foreclosure pointers and servicer fact cards; the tax branch checks payment status, calendars and relief-program pointers without an eligibility decision.
• locus_rental_registration_check declares its scope per jurisdiction. Long-term registration is wired in Minneapolis, Montgomery County, New York City, and Seattle; Denver is short-term-license only; Kansas City is building-enforcement only. It returns no legal-rental or compliance verdict.
• The property-tax protest workflow keeps deadline, filing-guide, evidence, browser handoff, and published-outcome facts separate from the owner's own filing and value position.
• The home-watch workflow sets up deadline and change events for an address or a signed-in pool, reads an empty poll as "nothing new seen", and offers each paid next step only with the owner's approval.
• The water-incident workflow keeps what failed, who maintains each pipe segment, and the resulting damage or bill separate, and gives insurer questions without a coverage verdict.
• Paid endpoints use live x402 and MPP discovery: x402 may offer USDC on Base and Solana (accepts[]), and MPP offers USDC.e (0x20C000000000000000000000b9537d11c60E8b50) on Tempo mainnet (eip155:4217, chainId: 4217) via WWW-Authenticate: Payment, all requiring explicit user authorization. Agents choose one complete offer (for example -p x402 --payment-network base or -p mpp --payment-network tempo).
• The surrounding-area workflow requires two separate approvals: $0.10 for the reusable JSON packet, then $0.15 for an eligible HTML/PDF report within 24 hours. Packet and report retrieval are proof-gated for 90 days.

Paid endpoint surface

The live paid index is authoritative: https://api.locus.report/.well-known/ai-tool/index.json. Selected endpoints are:

Unsupported, discovery-only, commercial, or insufficient-data cases return free diagnostics instead of charging where applicable.
