Basic Permit Search

from zonewise_skills_library import ZoneWiseSkillsLibrary

library = ZoneWiseSkillsLibrary()

# Search Brevard County permits
result = operator.play_skill(
    library.brevard_county.permit_search_by_address(),
    variables={"street_address": "123 Main St"}
)

# Get permit details
detail = operator.play_skill(
    library.brevard_county.permit_detail_lookup(),
    variables={"cap_id1": "BLD", "cap_id2": "2025", "cap_id3": "00001"}
)

Zoning Verification

# Verify zoning via GIS
zoning = operator.play_skill(
    library.brevard_county.zoning_verification(),
    variables={"parcel_id": "12-34-56-78-90"}
)

# Output: {zoning_code: "RU-1", future_land_use: "Residential", ...}

Site Plan Status

# Check Melbourne site plan review
status = operator.play_skill(
    library.melbourne.site_plan_status(),
    variables={"application_number": "SP-2025-001"}
)

Multi-Jurisdiction Search

# Search all jurisdictions in parallel
results = operator.play_skill(

Portal Types

Citizen Access (Accela)

Most common portal type in Florida. Skills target standard Accela selectors.

# Standard Accela selectors
selectors = {
    "search_input": "#ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_generalSearchForm_txtGSAddress",
    "search_button": "#ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_btnNewSearch",
    "results_grid": ".ACA_Grid_OverFlow"
}

Tyler ERP / EnerGov

Used by Melbourne, some larger cities.

Custom Portals

Smaller cities often have custom or WordPress-based portals. Requires individual skill development.

Municode

Zoning ordinance lookup. Uses web_search + web_fetch approach for JS-rendered content.
