Cline automates voter information lookups

Cline calls `get_voter_information` to pull polling site and ballot details into your files. It formats the output for your frontend components without you writing a single line of API boilerplate. You give the command, and it retrieves the structured data. It populates your test mocks or live fields instantly.

Address-based representative lookup for Cline

Use `get_representatives_by_address` to populate your CRM or civic dashboard with verified official contact info. Cline handles the request, parses the JSON, and writes it to your project files. It removes the need for manual data entry. You define the address, and the agent populates your local state.

Verify API health with Cline

Cline runs `check_api_status` before starting any heavy logic to ensure the government data is reachable. This prevents failed builds caused by upstream downtime. It acts as a gatekeeper for your code. If the connection fails, the agent reports the issue before it touches your codebase.
