/reg-feed-watcher

1. Load ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/regulatory-legal/CLAUDE.md → watchlist, materiality threshold, feed config.
2. Use the workflow below.
3. Pull each feed. Filter by materiality.
4. Output: what's new, categorized by materiality tier.

Purpose

Pull the feeds. Filter by materiality. Output what's left. The filter is the value — unfiltered feeds are noise.

Load context

~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/regulatory-legal/CLAUDE.md → watchlist, materiality threshold, feed configuration, digest output path (if set).

references/source-catalog.md (in this skill's directory) → curated catalog of RSS/JSON/HTML sources across US federal, US state, EU/UK, international, and secondary/aggregator categories. Use when configuring new sources or when the user's watchlist has coverage gaps (see Step 0).

Workflow

Step 0: Coverage check (before pulling)

Before running the pull, compare the watchlist + feed configuration in CLAUDE.md against references/source-catalog.md:

• Which categories (US federal / US state / EU-UK / international) does the user care about per their watchlist?
• Which of those categories have zero or very few sources configured?

If there's an obvious gap — e.g., user watches "EU regulators" in the watchlist but has only edpb.europa.eu configured in feeds, missing ICO, CNIL, DPC Ireland — surface it once at the top of the digest:

Coverage gap noticed: Your watchlist includes [category], but only [N] feeds are configured. The source catalog lists [X] options in this category (e.g., [top 2-3 names]). Want me to suggest additions? Run /regulatory-legal:cold-start-interview --redo to update, or edit ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/regulatory-legal/CLAUDE.md directly.

Don't nag the same gap repeatedly — if the user has explicitly said "skip state AGs for now," respect that. Note state in CLAUDE.md so it sticks.

Step 1: Pull

Pull from all configured feed tiers. Every installation has Tier 1. Tiers 2 and 3 are additive — use them if configured, skip if not.

Tier 1 — Free feeds (always active)

For each regulator in the watchlist:

• Federal Register API (https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents) — query by agency slug, date range (since last check), document type. Returns structured data: document type, title, abstract, effective date, comment deadline (for NPRMs), and citation. Covers all US federal agencies.
• Direct regulator RSS — fetch and parse any RSS URLs in ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/regulatory-legal/CLAUDE.md feed configuration (SEC, FTC, CFPB, state agencies, EU DPAs, etc.).

Agency slug reference for common watchlist regulators:

For any regulator not in this list: check federalregister.gov/agencies for the correct slug, or fall back to direct RSS.

Tier 2 — Paid feeds (if configured)

• Paid regulatory feed MCP: Query for updates since last check date, filtered to watchlist regulators.
• CourtListener MCP: Same.

De-duplicate across tiers — the same document may appear in multiple sources. Prefer the richest source for the enriched output.
