What it does

Policystack Jurisdiction is an agent skill from jamiedavenport/policystack. Explain the consent and policy-text posture (the §4.2 stance) implied by a set of declared PolicyStack jurisdictions. Use when choosing or reviewing the jurisdictions array in policystack.ts.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Legal & Compliance. The repository describes itself as: Open Privacy Infrastructure. The licence is Apache-2.0.

Example prompts

“/policystack-jurisdiction”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fa2f297. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Policystack Jurisdiction loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 652 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~55
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

How to read it

consentModel — opt-in (EEA/UK/CH/BR/CA/ROW): no non-essential data/cookies until affirmative consent; the banner defaults off. opt-out (US and US states): lawful by default after notice; the banner defaults on, gated by Do-Not-Sell / GPC.
policyText — specific (eea, uk, us-ca): hand-authored, jurisdiction-specific prose. equivalent: posture-correct text via the parent jurisdiction — a legitimate, shippable tier that emits the jurisdiction-generic-policy-text warning so the gap is explicit, not silent. Treat that warning as acknowledged, not failed.
inherits — all 50 US state codes inherit text/posture from us. An unknown us-* subdivision resolves to us (opt-out); row is the conservative opt-in catch-all. A code that is neither a table entry nor a us-* tail is rejected as jurisdiction-unknown.
GPC legally binding — true only where the Global Privacy Control signal currently carries legal force. It is always honoured as a signal regardless.

Procedure

For each declared id: state its consent model, its policy-text tier (and the parent it borrows from when equivalent), and whether GPC is binding. Call out every equivalent id as a jurisdiction-generic-policy-text warning the user must accept. The effective posture across a multi-jurisdiction set is the most protective (any opt-in member ⇒ treat as opt-in).
