Work out which permits a project actually needs and the order to get them — building/renovation, business licensing, events, signage, home businesses — so you don't build first and discover the permit later. Use when someone says 'do I need a permit for this', 'what permits for my renovation/business/event', 'help me apply for a permit', or 'the council flagged my project'. Produces a permit checklist with the likely permits, their sequence and dependencies, and the official offices to confirm each. Not legal/code advice — it orients and routes to the authority.

From the source SKILL.md

Permits are where good projects hit a wall: people renovate, then get a stop-work order; open a business, then find they were operating unlicensed; plan an event, then learn the road-closure permit needed 90 days' notice. The rules are hyper-local (city, county, sometimes your specific zone) and this skill will not pretend to know your jurisdiction's code — its job is to tell you which kinds of permits a project like yours usually needs, the order they go in (some can't start until others are issued), and exactly which office to call to confirm, so you sequence the paperwork before the work.

What this skill does

Permit Navigator is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the operations sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/permit-navigator/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
