A toolkit of AI prompts and utilities for genealogical research, designed to follow the Genealogical Proof Standard. For genealogists at every level — from hobbyists exploring their first census record to credentialed professionals managing client work.
Start With GRA v9.2.0
Before copying, pasting, or uploading a record: standard Codex, Claude, and other hosted AI workflows process the material with a cloud model. Do not send living-person details or any record that is too sensitive for the service you choose. Treat every AI response as draft analysis; verify records, citations, and conclusions yourself.
Choose the GRA v9.2.0 edition that fits your client.
- Agent Skill: for an Agent Skills client that can work with a local folder and supporting references. Download the installable ZIP from the v9.2.0 release.
- Chat Edition: a self-contained prompt for ordinary chat, Custom GPTs, and Gems. See the immutable repository artifact at the release tag.
GRA v8.5, v8, and v7 remain available under the documented compatibility and history route.
