Individual skill
foia-request
Draft a public-records request (FOIA / FOI / state open-records) that's specific enough to get records and hard to deny. Use when asked to write a FOIA request, records request, or freedom-of-information request to a government body. Produces a properly-scoped request: the records sought, date range and format, fee-waiver and expedited-processing asks where applicable, and citations to the governing statute.

# FOIA / Public-Records Request Skill
Public-records requests fail when they're too vague ("all documents about X") — agencies reject or stall them.
A good request is *specific*: named record types, a date range, the right custodian, and the statutory hooks
for fees and timing. This skill drafts a request that's easy to fulfil and hard to deny.
> Educational drafting aid. Public-records laws vary by jurisdiction (US federal FOIA, US state open-records
> laws, UK/EU FOI, etc.) — confirm the governing statute, agency, and deadlines for the specific case.
## Required Inputs
Ask for these only if they aren't already provided:
- **The records you want** — as specifically as possible (type, subject, people/programs, keywords).
