weather_skill

Overview

This skill verifies current weather and time-sensitive local conditions by retrieving verifiable sources and publishing only confirmed facts. It requires a clear location and always returns source links and the local page update/publish time; it never fabricates data.

How this skill works

When given a location, the skill searches authoritative weather sources and cross-checks results before forming a conclusion. Every weather statement includes location, time range, cited source name and link, and the source's local publish/update time (or an explicit note if the source did not provide one).

When to use it

• User asks for current weather, temperature, precipitation, wind, or forecast for a specific place.
• User requests alerts such as typhoon, severe storm, or air quality warnings.
• User needs verifiable weather info with source links and update timestamps.
• You must confirm time-sensitive conditions before making decisions (travel, events, outdoor work).
• User asks for forecasts over specific time ranges (next 24 hours, 7-day outlook).

Best practices

• Always confirm the precise location (city/district or nearby landmark) before checking sources.
• Prefer authoritative national or local meteorological agencies; use other platforms only for supplementary context.
• Include the source name, direct link, and the source’s listed local publish/update time; explicitly state if the source did not provide a time.
• Do not guess or fill missing numeric details; if unavailable, state that the data is not provided by the sources.
• Report concise conclusions first, followed by essential details (temperature range, precipitation chance, wind) when available.

• User: '7-day forecast for Paris' — Skill aggregates authoritative forecast pages, cites sources, time ranges, and update times.
• User: 'Air quality index for my neighborhood' — Skill fetches local gov/monitoring station data, includes link and measurement time.
