Weather

Get current weather and forecasts via wttr.in or Open-Meteo. Use when: user asks about weather, temperature, or forecasts for any location. NOT for: historic...

Security Scan

The skill is an instruction-only weather lookup that uses curl to fetch data from wttr.in; its requirements and instructions are proportionate to that purpose with only a small documentation inconsistency.

Purpose & Capability

The name/description match the behavior: fetching current weather and forecasts. The description mentions Open‑Meteo as an alternative, but the runtime instructions and examples exclusively use wttr.in. This is a minor documentation inconsistency but not a functional concern.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md provides explicit curl commands that call wttr.in for current conditions, forecasts, JSON, and images. The instructions do not ask the agent to read local files, environment variables, or unrelated system state, nor do they direct data to unexpected endpoints. They do perform outbound HTTP requests to wttr.in, which is expected for a weather skill.

Install Mechanism

There is no install spec and no code files — the skill is instruction-only and only requires curl to be present. This is low-risk and proportionate for the stated functionality.

Credentials

The skill declares no required environment variables, credentials, or config paths. That matches the SKILL.md which only uses public wttr.in endpoints and notes no API key is needed.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and the skill does not request any elevated or persistent privileges. It does not modify other skills or system-wide settings.

Assessment

This skill is simple and coherent: it runs curl against wttr.in to get weather data. Before installing, be aware that using the skill causes outbound requests to wttr.in (so queries and the queried location will be sent to that external service), and that wttr.in enforces rate limits. If you care about privacy of precise locations, avoid sending highly sensitive location strings. Note the small doc inconsistency: the description mentions Open‑Meteo but the instructions only use wttr.in — if you need Open‑Meteo specifically, ask the skill author for instructions or implementation that uses that service.

Weather Skill

Get current weather conditions and forecasts.

When to Use

✅ USE this skill when:

• "What's the weather?"
• "Will it rain today/tomorrow?"
• "Temperature in [city]"
• "Weather forecast for the week"
• Travel planning weather checks

When NOT to Use

❌ DON'T use this skill when:

• Historical weather data → use weather archives/APIs
• Climate analysis or trends → use specialized data sources
• Hyper-local microclimate data → use local sensors
• Severe weather alerts → check official NWS sources
• Aviation/marine weather → use specialized services (METAR, etc.)

Location

Always include a city, region, or airport code in weather queries.

Commands

Current Weather

# One-line summary
curl "wttr.in/London?format=3"

# Detailed current conditions
curl "wttr.in/London?0"

# Specific city
curl "wttr.in/New+York?format=3"

Forecasts

# 3-day forecast
curl "wttr.in/London"

# Week forecast
curl "wttr.in/London?format=v2"

# Specific day (0=today, 1=tomorrow, 2=day after)
curl "wttr.in/London?1"

Format Options

# One-liner
curl "wttr.in/London?format=%l:+%c+%t+%w"

# JSON output
curl "wttr.in/London?format=j1"

# PNG image
curl "wttr.in/London.png"

Format Codes

• %c — Weather condition emoji
• %t — Temperature
• %f — "Feels like"
• %w — Wind
• %h — Humidity
• %p — Precipitation
• %l — Location

Quick Responses

"What's the weather?"

curl -s "wttr.in/London?format=%l:+%c+%t+(feels+like+%f),+%w+wind,+%h+humidity"

"Will it rain?"

curl -s "wttr.in/London?format=%l:+%c+%p"

"Weekend forecast"

curl "wttr.in/London?format=v2"

Notes

• No API key needed (uses wttr.in)
• Rate limited; don't spam requests
• Works for most global cities
• Supports airport codes: curl wttr.in/ORD
