When to Use

Invoke this skill when the user asks about:

• Washing machine or dryer availability
• Whether any machines are free
• Laundry room status for a specific building
• When machines will finish (estimated completion time)

How to Use

Output Interpretation

Each machine is grouped by status label:

Status	Meaning
空闲 (Idle)	Machine is available — tell the user to go use it now
使用中 (In Use)	Machine is running; an estimated finish time may be shown as [预计HH:MM结束]
故障 (Fault)	Machine is broken and cannot be used
离线 (Offline)	Machine is unreachable or powered off

Machines are listed in priority order: 空闲 first, then 使用中 (with finish times), then 故障 and 离线.

Available Buildings

Building Name	ID
西21楼	27131
西16楼	27136

Use the building name (e.g. --building 西16楼) or ID (e.g. --building 27136). If the user does not specify a building, default to 西21楼.

Error Handling

• Network timeout or failure: The script exits with a message to stderr. Tell the user the request timed out and to check their network connection.
• Unknown building: The script reports the invalid name and lists valid buildings. Tell the user the building was not found and offer the available options.
• API error: The script reports the API error message. Tell the user the service returned an error and to try again later.
