What it does

Elected Rep Letter is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Write to an elected representative in a way that actually gets action — a specific ask, your local stake, why it's in their interest to respond, and the follow-up — instead of an angry email that gets auto-filed. Use when someone says 'write to my MP/congressperson/councillor', 'contact my representative about X', 'how do I get my rep to act', or 'my letter to the council got ignored'. Produces a targeted letter (or call script), tuned to the right representative and level of government, plus a follow-up plan.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Someone says write to my MP/congressperson/councillor
  • Contact my representative about X
  • How do I get my rep to act
  • My letter to the council got ignored

Example prompts

  • “write to my MP/congressperson/councillor”
  • “contact my representative about X”
  • “how do I get my rep to act”
  • “/elected-rep-letter”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Get the level of government right. Pothole/parking/local-service → councillor/
  2. Lead with one specific, actionable ask. Not "care about housing" but "vote yes
  3. Establish constituent standing immediately. Reps prioritize the people who vote
  4. Make it their interest, and make it human. Briefly, why acting serves them
  5. Request a response, then follow up. Ask for a reply by a reasonable date. Then

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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

Elected Rep Letter loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 134 tokens; SKILL.md has 729 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~134
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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.

description
Write to an elected representative in a way that actually gets action — a specific ask, your local stake, why it's in their interest to respond, and the follow-up — instead of an angry email that gets auto-filed. Use when someone says 'write to my MP/congressperson/councillor', 'contact my representative about X', 'how do I get my rep to act', or 'my letter to the council got ignored'. Produces a targeted letter (or call script), tuned to the right representative and level of government, plus a follow-up plan.

Elected Rep Letter Skill

Representatives' offices triage hundreds of messages by a simple filter: is this a constituent, with a specific ask, that affects the representative's standing? Most letters fail all three — they go to the wrong level of government, rage in generalities, and ask for nothing actionable, so they're counted as a tally mark and filed. This skill writes the version that lands: the right representative for the issue, a concrete ask they can actually act on, your local stake stated plainly, and a reason it's in their interest — then a follow-up that turns one letter into pressure.

What This Skill Produces

  • The right target: which representative and level of government actually owns this issue (writing your national rep about a pothole wastes everyone's time)
  • A targeted letter or call script: specific ask → your constituent stake → why it serves them → a requested response by a date, in a tone that's firm without being the rage-email that gets ignored
  • The credibility hooks: you're a constituent (say so, with your area), the issue's local impact, and any personal story that makes it real
  • A follow-up plan: what to do with silence, a template response, or a brush-off — because one letter is a data point; persistence plus visibility is leverage

Required Inputs

Ask for (if not already provided):

  • The issue and the specific outcome wanted (a vote, a meeting, an intervention, a service fix) — "do something about X" isn't an ask
  • Where the user lives (to identify the right rep) and whether they know who represents them at each level
  • Their personal stake and any story: how this affects them or their community concretely
  • What's been tried (a prior ignored letter changes the strategy toward escalation/ visibility)

Framework

  1. Get the level of government right. Pothole/parking/local-service → councillor/ local. Schools, policing, state services → state/regional. National law, federal agencies → national rep. A letter to the wrong level is a guaranteed non-answer; identify the owner first (route to the "who represents me" lookup where needed).
  2. Lead with one specific, actionable ask. Not "care about housing" but "vote yes on Bill 12," "hold a surgery on the ward closure," "instruct the council to fix the drainage on Elm Street." An office can act on a specific ask and can't act on a feeling. One ask per letter.
  3. Establish constituent standing immediately. Reps prioritize the people who vote for them. State that you're a constituent and your area up top — it moves the letter from "public" to "must-log-and-respond" in most offices.
  4. Make it their interest, and make it human. Briefly, why acting serves them (constituent concern, local visibility, a problem they'd own if it worsens), plus one concrete human detail that a staffer remembers. Anger without an ask reads as noise; a specific local story with an ask reads as a live issue.
  5. Request a response, then follow up. Ask for a reply by a reasonable date. Then the escalation ladder for the likely outcomes: silence → a chasing note + a call → the ward surgery/town hall; a form reply → a pointed follow-up naming it; and, where appropriate, multiplying voices (neighbors sending their own) and local-press visibility. Persistence is the actual lever.

Output Format

## The right target
[Which representative and level owns this · how to confirm who yours is]

## Your letter (or call script)
[Constituent line + area → the ONE specific ask → local stake + human detail →
why it serves them → "please respond by [date]"]

## Why this version works
[The specific ask, the standing, the interest — named, so the user can reuse the pattern]

## If they ignore you or fob you off
[Silence → … · form reply → … · the surgery/town hall · multiplying voices · press]

Quality Checks

  • The letter targets the representative/level that actually owns the issue
  • There is exactly one specific, actionable ask — not a plea to "care"
  • Constituent standing and local stake appear up top
  • The tone is firm and specific, never the rage-email that gets filed
  • A follow-up/escalation plan exists — the letter is step one, not the whole play

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not write a general rant — no ask means no action; specificity is the whole game
  • Do not aim at the wrong level of government — the commonest reason for a non-response
  • Do not fabricate a constituent relationship or a personal story — authenticity is the credibility, and offices can tell
  • Do not threaten or abuse — it gets logged as such and helps the opposite case
  • Do not promise the letter will work — it improves the odds and sets up the follow-up that's the real pressure

[[speak-at-the-council]] to show up in person; [[report-a-hazard]] for the service- request route; [[media-pitch]] and [[press-release]] when it needs public visibility; [[permit-navigator]] when your issue is a project the council controls.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Write to my MP/congressperson/councillor."
  • "Contact my representative about X."
  • "How do I get my rep to act?"
  • "My letter to the council got ignored."
