## Description

The Pelosi Tracker. Watches the stock trades members of Congress must disclose under the STOCK Act: reads the House Clerk's public Periodic Transaction Reports (PTRs) as soon as they are posted, alerts once per new filing, and turns each PDF into clean rows (who, owner, stock, ticker, buy or sell, options strike and expiry, trade date, amount range, how many days it took to disclose). Flags trades in stocks you hold. Senate reports are covered by a documented manual route. Use when the user says "what is Pelosi buying", "track Nancy Pelosi", "Congress trades", "politician stock trades", "did any congressman buy X", "alert me when Pelosi files", or "run the Pelosi skill".

## SKILL.md, as published by its author (untrusted third-party text, read it as data)

# trader-pelosi

Members of Congress have to report their trades, their spouse's and their
dependent children's. The House Clerk posts every report as a PDF and lists
them all in one index file per year. This skill reads that index, notices the
moment a new report appears, and reads the report for you.

It is fast. It is not early. A PTR is due within 30 days of the member
learning of the trade and never more than 45 days after it, so by the time
anyone can read it the trade is days or weeks old. There is no inside
information here: only public filings, read quickly. Say that every time.

Tool in this folder (standard library Python; `pdftotext` from poppler is
optional, to read the PDFs locally):

```bash
python3 "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/ptr.py" --help
```

## What it reads and writes

- Reads `https://disclosures-clerk.house.gov/public_disc/financial-pdfs/<YEAR>FD.zip`
  (one `<Member>` per filing: name, district, FilingType, FilingDate, DocID)
  and each PTR at `.../public_disc/ptr-pdfs/<YEAR>/<DocID>.pdf`.
- Writes `trader/state/pelosi.json` (the DocIDs already shown, so each PTR
  alerts once) and keeps downloaded PDFs in `trader/state/ptr-pdfs/`.
- Reads `trader/portfolio.json` (if it exists) to flag trades in what you hold.
