tax-law-researchSearches current Chinese tax laws, rates and policy changes with Tavily web search, prioritizing government sources and flagging outdated or conflicting results.
The skill searches the web for current tax regulations, rates and policy changes using Tavily, sourced from government and authoritative legal databases. It first identifies the tax type (corporate income tax, VAT, personal income tax, stamp duty and so on), the jurisdiction and how time-sensitive the question is, asking clarifying questions when the request is vague.
It builds targeted Chinese-language search queries, such as pairing a tax type with the current year and a policy source like the State Taxation Administration, and runs them through the search_web tool or a fallback script in scripts/search_tax_law.py. Results from .gov.cn domains are prioritized, publication dates are checked, and multiple sources are cross-referenced before the findings are presented in a structured format with the topic and search date.
Error handling covers a failed search API (retry once, then tell the user), a missing TAVILY_API_KEY (fall back to general tax knowledge) and rate limiting. Gotchas noted include that Chinese tax rules change at the start of each year, local tax bureaus can add their own implementing rules, VAT rates vary by industry, and small-scale taxpayers follow different rates.
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 94b16cd. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
BashReadWritesearch_webFrom allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
TAVILY_API_KEYFrom names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Requires: TAVILY_API_KEY configured in settings Depends on: MCP cloud_tool `search_web` or TavilyService
From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Tax Law Research loads about 997 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 90 tokens; SKILL.md has 326 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Write, search_webAutomated 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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 326 words (~997 tokens).

Searches current Chinese tax laws, rates and policy changes with Tavily web search, prioritizing government sources and flagging outdated or conflicting results. The skill searches the web for current tax regulations, rates and policy changes using Tavily, sourced from government and authoritative legal databases. It first identifies the tax type (corporate income tax, VAT, personal income tax, stamp duty and so on), the jurisdiction and how time-sensitive the question is, asking clarifying questions when the request is vague.
Tax Law Research fits situations like: looking up current Chinese tax rates or regulations; checking for recent changes to a specific tax policy; researching VAT or income tax compliance requirements.
Run `npx skills add Serein-81/financial_rag --skill tax-law-research -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (rag_backend/skills/legal/tax-law-research in Serein-81/financial_rag) into .claude/skills/tax-law-research in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add Serein-81/financial_rag --skill tax-law-research -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (rag_backend/skills/legal/tax-law-research in Serein-81/financial_rag) into .agents/skills/tax-law-research in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add Serein-81/financial_rag --skill tax-law-research -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/tax-law-research, .gemini/skills/tax-law-research, .github/skills/tax-law-research and .opencode/skills/tax-law-research in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Tax Law Research needs Python for the scripts in its folder and credentials named TAVILY_API_KEY. Our summary lists: A TAVILY_API_KEY configured in settings; The search_web MCP tool or TavilyService. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Bash, Read, Write, search_web. Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires: TAVILY_API_KEY configured in settings Depends on: MCP cloud_tool `search_web` or TavilyService .
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (pre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: bash)), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
No licence was found for Tax Law Research or its repository. Without one, default copyright applies: ask the author before reusing or redistributing it.
About 997 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 4k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 325 tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
