Overview

This skill provides Automated Emergency Geopolitical Intelligence System (AEGIS) capabilities: real-time, location-aware threat monitoring and safety alerts for civilians in conflict zones. It prioritizes official government sources, reputable media, and anti-hoax verification to deliver realistic, actionable guidance. Use it to monitor a location, generate briefings, configure alert delivery, and support emergency preparedness planning.

How this skill works

AEGIS fetches tiered sources for a configured location (government alerts, primary news RSS, infrastructure notices, OSINT, optional APIs), deduplicates items, pattern-matches multilingual threat indicators, and runs an LLM analysis to classify credibility and produce action items. Alerts are assigned to three delivery tiers (instant critical, batched high, digest medium) and follow an anti-hoax protocol that requires corroboration from high-trust sources before alerting. Outputs include instant safety alerts, periodic briefings, and preparedness checklists tailored to the country profile.

When to use it

• Setting up warzone or crisis safety monitoring for a city/region
• Asking for current security situation or threat level for a location
• Configuring emergency alert delivery preferences and schedules
• Generating morning/evening security briefings and trend summaries
• Creating or validating emergency preparedness plans and go-bag checklists

Best practices

• Configure accurate location, timezone, and language in the local config file before running scans
• Enable government and primary news tiers first; add optional API keys (NewsAPI) for broader coverage
• Run scans on a regular cron schedule matched to local timezone for timely alerts
• Review and customize the country profile emergency contacts and shelter info for local accuracy
• Treat AEGIS as a decision-support tool: follow official guidance first and use alerts to augment, not replace, local directives

Example use cases

• A resident in a conflict-affected city sets up continuous monitoring and receives instant critical evacuation alerts from civil defense notices
• An NGO compiles daily morning briefings for staff movements and safe-route recommendations across multiple operational areas
• A family configures batched high-tier alerts and an evening digest to stay informed without panic
• A community coordinator uses spatially-filtered scans to identify nearby infrastructure disruptions (airports, bridges) and inform planning
• A preparedness trainer generates localized go-bag and shelter checklists from country profile templates for distribution
