Examples

Real examples for the Claude Code skills of the bundeswahl plugin, one per skill: a request, the bundeswahl commands the skill ran, and the answer Claude gave.

Every example ran on 6 October 2026 with bundeswahl 0.3.0, against the open-data files as downloaded live that day (each file once, then served from a local copy). The Bundestagswahl 2025 files are final, so your results should match; the ids and keys shown work for trying the requests yourself. Long lists are shortened.

To try them, install the CLI and the plugin — see SKILLS.md.

bundeswahl-reference

Which Bundestag constituencies are in Saxony? And how do Leipzig II and Görlitz compare structurally?

bundeswahl --compact wahlkreise --land SN | jq -r '.[] | "\(.nr)\t\(.name)"'
bundeswahl --compact wahlkreise | jq -r 'group_by(.landName)[] | "\(.[0].landName): \(length)"'
bundeswahl --compact wahlkreise --land Sachsen | jq -r 'group_by(.landName)[] | "\(.[0].landName): \(length)"'   # also Niedersachsen, Sachsen-Anhalt
bundeswahl --compact structure --wahlkreis 152 > s152.json
jq '.[0] | keys_unsorted' s152.json
bundeswahl --compact structure --wahlkreis Görlitz > sgoe.json
bundeswahl --compact structure --wahlkreis 151 > s151.json   # Leipzig I, to check the footnote

--land matches the Land name as a substring, so --land Sachsen also returned Niedersachsen and Sachsen-Anhalt (54 rows). The abbreviation SN gives only Saxony’s 16. The Leipzig II row carries a Fußnoten value: “Die Stadt Leipzig bildet mehrere Wahlkreise. In den Spalten 1 und 7 bis 48 sind die Werte für Leipzig insgesamt ausgewiesen”. The footnote is an upper bound: area, population and density (columns 2–6) are specific to the constituency, and so are the birth and migration balances (columns 7 and 8), which differ between Leipzig I and II (migration 29,7 vs 22,1); the other columns shown below are the same for both. Values are strings with a decimal comma.

Sachsen, 16 Wahlkreise (150–165): 150 Nordsachsen · 151 Leipzig I · 152 Leipzig II · 153 Leipzig-Land · 154 Meißen · 155 Bautzen I · 156 Görlitz · 157 Sächsische Schweiz-Osterzgebirge · 158 Dresden I · 159 Dresden II – Bautzen II · 160 Mittelsachsen · 161 Chemnitz · 162 Chemnitzer Umland – Erzgebirgskreis II · 163 Erzgebirgskreis I · 164 Zwickau · 165 Vogtlandkreis. (Germany has 299 in total; NRW has the most with 64, Bremen the fewest with 2.)

¹ Value for the city of Leipzig as a whole (per the dataset’s footnote).

Who won the Görlitz constituency in the 2025 Bundestagswahl, and how did the second vote change there compared with 2021?

bundeswahl --compact results --area-type Wahlkreis --area Görlitz --vote 1 | jq -r 'map(select(.gruppenart != "System-Gruppe" and .anzahl != null)) | sort_by(-.anzahl)[:3][] | "\(.gebietsnummer) \(.gebietsname)\t\(.gruppenname)\t\(.anzahl)\t\(.prozent)\t\(.gewaehlt)"'
bundeswahl --compact results --area-type Wahlkreis --area 156 --vote 2 --group-type Partei | jq -r 'map(select(.prozent != null)) | sort_by(-.prozent)[] | "\(.gruppenname)\t\(.prozent)\t\(.vorpProzent)\t\(.diffProzentPkt)"'
bundeswahl --compact results --area-type Wahlkreis --area 156 --group-type System-Gruppe | jq -r '.[] | select(.gruppenname=="Wählende" or .gruppenname=="Wahlberechtigte") | "\(.gruppenname)\t\(.anzahl)\t\(.prozent)\t\(.vorpProzent)"'
bundeswahl --compact results --area-type Land --area 14 --vote 2 --group-type Partei | jq -r 'map(select(.prozent != null)) | sort_by(-.prozent)[:3][] | "\(.gebietsname)\t\(.gruppenname)\t\(.prozent)"'
bundeswahl --compact results --area-type Bund --vote 2 --party AfD | jq -r '.[] | "\(.gruppenname)\t\(.prozent)\t\(.vorpProzent)"'
bundeswahl --compact results --area-type Bund --group-type System-Gruppe | jq -r '.[] | select(.gruppenname=="Wählende") | "\(.prozent)%"'

Following its trap, the skill paired every --area with --area-type: the name Görlitz found Wahlkreis 156, and the later calls used the number. The direct-mandate recipe drops the totals and the parties that fielded no candidate in Görlitz (ÖDP, Volt, dieBasis, …, which come back with anzahl: null) before sorting. For the Land comparison it used --area-type Land --area 14: a name alone (--area Sachsen) also matches Sachsen-Anhalt and Niedersachsen, and a bare --area 14 also matches Wahlkreis 014.

Wahlkreis 156 Görlitz (Sachsen), Bundestagswahl 23.02.2025

Direct mandate (Erststimme): AfD, 75,147 votes (48.9 %), ahead of CDU 37,197 (24.2 %) and BSW 9,832 (6.4 %). The dataset names the winning party (gewaehlt: "AfD"), not the candidate.

Turnout: 155,057 of 196,873 eligible voters, 78.8 % (2021: 75.0 %; nationally 82.5 %). For context, the AfD’s Zweitstimme share was 37.3 % in Sachsen and 20.8 % nationally (2021: 10.4 %).
