First recorded scan — no prior version to compare against.
The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
Read the materials a user provides about a property and its intended use, and surface the zoning, permitted-use, recorded-restriction, and use-clause concerns those materials raise. The result is a structured issue-spotting list in which every concern traces to a specific provided source, paired with a list of questions to route to local counsel or a zoning consultant.
This skill produces draft work product for attorney review only. It is not legal advice. It identifies questions worth asking; it does not answer whether a use is permitted.
"tell me what to ask local counsel about" for a property.

CC&Rs, lease use clause, permits, and certificates the user has. If a material is referenced but not provided, note it as missing.
If the intended use, the jurisdiction, the property type, or the materials to review are not provided, stop and request them. Do not issue-spot from a description alone, and do not proceed without knowing the jurisdiction.

Also out of scope (this skill does not): state whether a use is legally permitted; determine a property's zoning classification or its compliance status; interpret a zoning code, ordinance, or restriction; decide whether a variance, special-use permit, or certificate of occupancy will issue; calculate or confirm any date or deadline; or supply jurisdiction-specific zoning or land-use law. Those are functions for local counsel or a zoning consultant. This skill never tells the user that a use is or is not allowed. Where the materials do not answer a question, the skill says so and routes the question to a human.
