description: "Deep-dive a specific Hokkaido locality (or a program at a locality) into a structured dossier for the Chapan relocation mission by investigating its official municipal/prefectural website. Use when the user says \"chapan lead\", \"chapan leads\", \"investigate <town>\", /chapan-leads, or names a Hokkaido town/village to research. Writes D:\\Repos\\Chapan\\leads\\Hokkaido\\<City>.md and keeps the leads index current."

## chapan-leads — investigate a locality into a dossier

Tracker root: `D:\Repos\Chapan`. Dates = America/Los_Angeles. A *lead* is a specific Hokkaido locality worth investigating (rural towns/villages especially). This skill digs into the locality's own official site and produces a structured, comparable dossier.

### Step 1 — Identify
Get the locality name (ask if not given). Find its **official municipal site** — patterns: `town.hokkaido.jp`, `city.hokkaido.jp`, `www.town.<name>.hokkaido.jp`, or a page under `pref.hokkaido.lg.jp`. Use search web to confirm the official domain (avoid blogs/aggregators for facts).

### Step 2 — Investigate (browser + web_fetch)
Open the site and its 移住 (migration)/定住 (settlement)/子育て (childcare) sections. Japanese pages: fetch, translate key terms. Extract:
- Population & recent trend; area type (rural/semi-rural/regional city); nearest city, airport, train/bus access; climate/snowfall.
- 移住 support page; 空き家バンク (akiya bank) presence + sample listings; housing purchase/renovation/rent subsidies.
- Childcare & education: subsidies, school availability/size, medical-fee support for kids; hospital/clinic access.
- Employment/startup support; 地域おこし協力隊 openings (and whether foreigners are eligible).
- Foreigner-friendliness signals (multilingual support, existing international residents).
- **Migration desk / contact info** (phone, email, form) and any application deadlines.

### Step 3 — Write `leads/Hokkaido/<City>.md`
Frontmatter:
```
type: chapan-lead
locality: <name>
prefecture: Hokkaido
status: new | investigating | contacted | hot | cold | dead
priority: high | medium | low
population: <number or TBD>
official_site: <url>
created: <YYYY-MM-DD>
updated: <YYYY-MM-DD>
```
Body sections: Overview/access; Housing & akiya; Family (childcare/schools/medical); Work & programs; Contacts & deadlines; **Fit vs profile** (score against schools/jobs/budget/rural-tolerance from `profile.md`); Open questions / next action. Default `status: investigating` after a real dig.

### Step 4 — Keep index + evidence current
- Update the **active-leads table** in `leads/README.md` (locality, status, priority, updated, why).
- Save raw page snapshots/URLs to `research/YYYY-MM-DD-lead-<city>.md`.
- Suggest a concrete next action (contact the migration desk, plan a scouting visit, compare vs another lead) and add it to `status.md` if significant.

### Rules
- Prefer first-party municipal/prefectural sources for facts; cite URLs + retrieved date.
- Don't fabricate figures — use `TBD` if the site doesn't say. Private data — keep in the vault.
