  Written by API Evangelist on 2026-09-05. ATF publishes no skills, no AGENTS.md
  and no agent documentation — searched atf.gov, regulations.atf.gov and the
  atfweb GitHub organization. Every operationId referenced below exists in
  openapi/bureau-of-alcohol-tobacco-firearms-and-explosives-atf--eregulations-openapi.yml
  or, for the ArcGIS flows, in the service descriptors saved under geoservices/.

  Two packaged agent skills covering the two things ATF's public surface can
  actually do: read versioned Title 27 CFR text with the Federal Register notice
  that produced it, and query the two public geospatial layers.

    Branch on Content-Type, not on the HTTP status. Both platforms return 200 for
    conditions that are logically errors — eRegulations serves an HTML shell for an
    unknown resource, ArcGIS embeds {"error":{...}} in a 200 body.
  - Read-only surface. No skill here can change anything at ATF.
  - No credential is required, and none should ever be sent.
