Get My Ip

Get the machine's current public IP address by calling curl ifconfig.me. Use when the user asks for their IP address, public IP, external IP, or explicitly wants to use ifconfig.me.

Use this skill when the user wants the current machine's IP address as seen from the public internet.

This skill uses:

bash

curl -fsSL ifconfig.me

Outcome

Return the current public IP address from ifconfig.me.

Keep the answer concise. By default, return only the IP unless the user asks for more detail.

Workflow

1. Clarify the meaning only when needed

ifconfig.me returns the public outbound IP, not the local LAN IP.

If the user says "local IP" but also asks to use ifconfig.me, follow the request and, when useful, note that the result is the public IP.

2. Run the command

Use:

bash

curl -fsSL ifconfig.me

Do not replace it with another service unless the user asks for a fallback.

3. Return the result

If successful:

• return the IP directly

If it fails:

• say the public IP could not be retrieved
• include the brief reason when available, such as missing curl, network failure, or service unavailability

Scope Boundaries

This skill is only for retrieving the public IP via ifconfig.me.

It is not for:

• finding the local LAN IP
• diagnosing network routing issues
• checking multiple interfaces
• performing geolocation lookups
