Examples
Real examples for the Claude Code skills of the dip-bundestag plugin, one per skill: a request,
the dip commands the skill ran, and the answer Claude gave.
Every example ran against the live API on 6 October 2026: dip-member-dossier and
dip-procedure-tracker with dip 0.3.0 (re-run after their notes on --cursor changed, with
the same answers), dip-document-digest with 0.2.0.
The data changes, so your results will differ; the ids shown work for trying the requests
yourself. Long lists are shortened.
Each skill starts by obtaining the API key once and reuses it on every later call:
dip obtain-key # reads DIP's help document, verifies the key, prints it on stdout
DIP_API_KEY="<the key>" dip --compact …
obtain-key printed Obtained the key from https://content.dip.bundestag.de/content-api/v1/content/help-api
and verified it against the live API. on stderr. The key itself is left out below.
To try them, install the CLI and the plugin — see SKILLS.md.

dip-document-digest
The Greens sent the government questions about how the Gebäudemodernisierungsgesetz came about. What did they ask, and is there an answer yet?
dip --compact drucksache list --filter f.titel=Gebäudemodernisierungsgesetz --filter f.wahlperiode=21 # 7 hits
dip --compact drucksache-text get 290675 # Antwort 21/7982, with the question text
dip --compact vorgang list --filter f.titel=Gebäude --filter f.wahlperiode=21 \
--filter f.vorgangstyp=Gesetzgebung # to link the law itself
The search found only Kleine Anfragen and answers, no bill: the law is filed as “Gesetz zur Änderung des Gebäudeenergiegesetzes, …”. The newest hit is the government’s answer of 10 Sep, and its text is extracted now. Since an answer repeats every question in small print, the skill digested questions and answers from that one document. It dropped URLs split across lines and the printer’s footer from the OCR text.
Drucksache 21/7982 (WP 21, 2026-09-10) — Antwort der Bundesregierung (BMWE)
on Kleine Anfrage 21/7563 of Dr. Alaa Alhamwi, Dr. Julia Verlinden, Hanna Steinmüller and the
Fraktion BÜNDNIS 90/DIE GRÜNEN: "Gesetzgebungsverfahren zum Gebäudemodernisierungsgesetz"
Premise of the questions: the adopted GModG drops the 65-percent rule (§ 71 GEG), allows fossil
heating beyond 2045, adds a Grüngasquote from 2028 and a "Bio-Treppe" from 2029.
Answered (37 questions):
• Preface: the core of executive responsibility is not open to parliamentary inquiry; contacts
are not logged in full, so the lists may be incomplete.
• Q1–2 meetings: BMin Reiche with BDEW (Dohler, Andreae) on 23 Jul 2025 and with BDEW's
board, management and steering groups on 12 Jan 2026, both "Wärmewende/GModG"; PSt
Rouenhoff with ITGA-NRW/BTGA (20 Aug 2025) and BDI (16 Mar 2026). Q3 letters from the
gas industry: none ("Fehlanzeige").
• Q4–14 drafts and who pushed what: the statements of Länder and associations are on BMWE's
website; the coalition agreement ("Wir werden das Heizungsgesetz abschaffen") applied from
day one; "everyone is free to lobby"; most questions referred to the answer on Q4.
• Q15–24 Bio-Treppe and quota: a supplier's bill confirms the Bio-Treppe, breaches carry fines;
the Grüngas-/Grünheizölquote law is "in preparation" (no timetable); forecasts of supply and
prices vary too widely to use.
• Q25–32 ministries and constitution: BMWE and BMWSB wrote a joint draft; the government
considers the law constitutional.
• Q33–37 climate effect: the Bundestag passed the law on 10 Jul 2026, the Bundesrat raised no
objection; an estimate of its climate effect is "being prepared"; no forecast of new gas
heaters; the late answer to 21/6229 was due to inter-ministry coordination and research.
Procedure: Vorgang 338265 (Kleine Anfrage)
The law: Vorgang 334923, Verkündet in BGBl I 2026, 226 (2026-07-28)

dip-member-dossier
What does the Bundestag record say about Julia Klöckner: party, roles, and which terms?
dip --compact person list --filter f.person=Klöckner --filter f.wahlperiode=21 # 1 hit: id 224
dip --compact person get 224
f.person found her by surname in one request, so no paging was needed. Party and function sit
in the top-level fraktion[]/funktion[] arrays. person_roles[] holds only term numbers and
ministries, with no role title.
Julia Klöckner — Person 224
Current (WP 21): MdB · CDU/CSU (titel "Julia Klöckner, MdB, CDU/CSU")
Terms in the record: WP 15, 16, 17, 19, 20, 21 (not 18) · basisdatum 2002-11-13 · latest 2026-09-10
Earlier roles:
• WP 19 Ressort Bundesministerium für Ernährung und Landwirtschaft (role title not in the record)
• WP 17 Ressort Bundesministerium für Ernährung, Landwirtschaft und Verbraucherschutz
• WP 21 a role entry with her name only, no further detail
(no role entries for WP 15, 16 and 20)
Not in the record: the title of either ministry role, Wahlkreis, Bundesland, committees, and no
Präsidium office (her current function is MdB).
Next steps offered: her WP 21 activities (aktivitaet list --filter f.person_id=224 --filter f.wahlperiode=21, paged with both filters repeated).

Where does the federal budget for 2027 stand in the Bundestag? Has there been a vote?
dip --compact vorgang list --filter f.titel=Haushaltsgesetz --filter f.wahlperiode=21 # 14 hits
dip --compact vorgangsposition list --filter f.vorgang=338317 # 33 steps, one page
Most of the 14 hits were Entschließungsanträge on the 2025 and 2026 budgets. The skill kept
vorgangstyp Gesetzgebung and took the 2027 bill. All 33 steps fit on one page (numFound 33),
so no --cursor call was needed. 26 steps belong to the first reading, mostly one per Einzelplan,
so the skill folded them into one line per sitting day. Neither beschlussfassung is a vote on
the bill: one is the referral, the other the Bundesrat’s opinion. The Vorgang’s abstract says
“Bundeshaushaltsplans 2026” although everything else is 2027, so its figures are quoted with
that caveat.
