Government: Permit Application Review with Claude Code: Result JSON Schema

A production playbook for permit application review in government operations using Claude Code: result json schema, run-scoped inputs, logs, typed results, and artifacts.

Audience: Public sector and regulated industry operations teams

The problem

Public sector and regulated industry operations teams need permit application review to run repeatedly against application forms, evidence, maps, certificates, and agency guidance. In government operations, the pain is not one good answer; it is repeatability, auditability, exception handling, and evidence that survives handoff.

Implementation path

Define the outer result contract once, let the permit application review skill own body.data, and reject terminal output that does not match the expected schema.

Tradeoffs and failure modes

Schema enforcement adds upfront design work, but removes prompt parsing from the product surface. For permit application review, the practical test is whether a second run can be debugged, retried, and consumed by a product without reading the raw agent transcript.
