Changelog
v2.0.0: migrated from the broken Bank of Israel XML feed to the official JSON endpoint for current rates and the SDMX series for historical (tax-date) rates. Corrected the currency count (14, not 30+) and publish schedule, added the transaction-date tax rule and import-VAT customs-rate caveat, and made the helper script fail loud instead of substituting sample rates.

Author: skills-ilCalculate municipal property tax (arnona) for Israeli properties, check discount eligibility, and draft appeal letters to arnona committees. Use when a user needs to estimate arnona payments by municipality, zone, and property usage type, verify eligibility for discounts (olim, soldiers, elderly, disabled, low income, students, single parents), or prepare formal appeals with legal references. Covers all major Israeli municipalities including Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Haifa, and Beer Sheva. Do NOT use for income tax (mas hachnasa), VAT (maam), or national insurance (bituach leumi) calculations, which fall under separate Israeli tax authorities.
Author: skills-ilHelps you cut recurring bank and credit-card fees. Use it when you pay per action instead of being on a cheaper fixed-price fee track, when you want to cancel a barely-used credit card, stop a recurring charge or debit authorization, or negotiate a specific commission down. The skill prepares a ready-to-send Hebrew cancellation letter, a rights-grounded negotiation script, and a short summary of your rights, based on Bank of Israel fee rules and Israeli banking law. Why it matters: many Israelis overpay hundreds of shekels a year because they do not know there is a supervised basic track, a right to cancel at any time, and discounts for seniors, people with disabilities, and small businesses. Not for maximizing cashback or deals, coupon hunting, analyzing bank transactions, or household budgeting.

Handles Incoterms 2020 (FOB, CIF, DDP, EXW, FCA, CPT, CIP, DAP, DPU, CFR, FAS). Use when user asks about exporting from Israel, choosing an Incoterm, EUR.1, approved exporter status, or recovering from a border rejection. Do NOT use for import tax calculation (use israeli-customs-duty-calculator).
