Is the Nyc Acris skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from AlpacaLabsLLC/skills-for-architects. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the Nyc Acris SkillProof Score?

8.8/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 8/10, docs & honesty 4/5.

How do I install Nyc Acris?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use Nyc Acris with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Verdict: Tested · Works
Score: 8.8/10
Tested: Jul 31, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · 2151ea9

Fetched SKILL.md/README and ran the full skill against live Socrata. Legals (8h5j-fqxa) by borough=1&block=77&lot=1 returned 20 document_ids; the Master (bnx9-e6tj) and Parties (636b-3b5g) IN(...) joins returned 200 with real data, producing a populated deed+mortgage report (e.g. 1986 $1M mortgage, MANHATTAN SAVINGS BANK -> 85 John St Partnership). Verified the skill's field warnings: doc_date/doc_amount/combined-bbl all HTTP 400, while document_amt/recorded_datetime/separate boro-block-lot all 200 — so the baseline naive attempt fails where the skill recipe works. Two real gaps observed: Step 3d's code-translation table (7isb-wh4c) exposes doc__type/doc__type_description but returns them empty for every row, so live code translation is non-functional (skill mitigates via inline common-code list); and document_date is null for older reel records, leaving the Date column blank unless you fall back to recorded_datetime, which the body doesn't instruct.

What Nyc Acris does

Queries NYC ACRIS property-transaction records — deeds, mortgages, liens, assignments and ownership history — by address, BBL, or BIN, using a document_id join across the ACRIS Legals, Master, and Parties datasets on NYC Open Data (no API key). Triggers when the user asks who owns a NYC property, its sale/mortgage/lien history, or recorded deeds; not for permits or violations.

How to install Nyc Acris

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/AlpacaLabsLLC/skills-for-architects.git /tmp/nyc-acris-src
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -R /tmp/nyc-acris-src/skills/nyc-acris ~/.claude/skills/nyc-acris
# Full function needs sibling shared files this SKILL references (../nyc-property-report/*.md):
cp -R /tmp/nyc-acris-src/skills/nyc-property-report ~/.claude/skills/nyc-property-report
# And the disclaimer text referenced by the final step (rules/professional-disclaimer.md):
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/rules && cp /tmp/nyc-acris-src/rules/professional-disclaimer.md ~/.claude/skills/rules/ 2>/dev/null || true
# Plugin alternative (also wires the post-write-disclaimer-check hook):
#   claude plugin marketplace add AlpacaLabsLLC/skills-for-architects
#   claude plugin install as@skills-for-architects
# No API key. Uses public NYC Open Data Socrata endpoints. Usage: /as:nyc-acris 120 Broadway, Manhattan

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.
