A 21-year-old who just finished sherut chova has access to a Pikadon, a separate discharge grant, three years of tax credit points, and (for Iron Swords combat veterans) full university tuition. The official information is scattered across the MoD hachvana site, kolzchut, the Income Tax Ordinance, and the Knesset full-tuition law from December 2023. Most discharged soldiers either miss benefits entirely (especially the retroactive nekudot zikui), try to use Pikadon for non-permitted purposes (rental is the most common mistake, only purchase qualifies), or fail to claim within the 5-year statutory window. This skill walks the user through eligibility, current indexed Pikadon rates per service tier, the 6 permitted pre-5y withdrawal purposes, the Tofes 101 claim flow for credit points, and the Iron Swords expansions.

Author: skills-ilVerify a public claim against official Israeli data and get a sourced verdict. Use it when you hear a politician quote a number on the radio, get a viral WhatsApp message about prices or the budget, or read a headline you are not sure about. The skill breaks the claim into its checkable parts, sends each to the right official source (the Central Bureau of Statistics, Bank of Israel, the state budget, the Knesset, data.gov.il), pulls the real figure, and labels the claim true, inaccurate, misleading, false, or insufficient-data with a pointer to the source. It never invents a number, so a cannot-verify answer is honest rather than a confident guess. Do NOT use it for opinions, predictions about the future, private personal facts, or for writing articles from scratch.
