# Weather

Check the current weather for your location using live data from Open-Meteo (free, no API key needed).

## Preferences

_Read `~/.claude/skills/weather/preferences.md` using the Read tool. If not found, no preferences are set._

## Command routing

Check `$ARGUMENTS`:

- **`help`** → display help then stop

- **`config`** → interactive setup then stop

- **`reset`** → delete `~/.claude/skills/weather/preferences.md`, confirm, stop

- **anything else** (including empty) → run the skill

### Help

```

Weather — Check current weather for your location

Usage:

/weather Show weather for saved location

/weather Berlin Show weather for Berlin

/weather config Set your default location

/weather reset Clear saved location

/weather help This help

Examples:

/weather Uses your saved city

/weather "New York" One-off check for New York

/weather Tokyo One-off check for Tokyo

Current preferences:

(shown above under Preferences)

```

### Config

Use **AskUserQuestion**:

**Q1** — "What city are you in?" (text input via Other)

- Options: suggest common cities as quick picks, plus Other for custom input

**Q2** — "Temperature unit?"

- Celsius (default)

- Fahrenheit

Save to `~/.claude/skills/weather/preferences.md`.

### Reset

Delete `~/.claude/skills/weather/preferences.md` and confirm: "Preferences cleared. Using defaults."

## First-time detection

If no preferences file exists and no city argument was provided:

1. Use **AskUserQuestion** to ask: "Where are you located? (city name)"

2. After getting weather, offer to save the location

## Steps

### 1. Determine location

- If `$ARGUMENTS` contains a city name (not help/config/reset) → use that city

- Else if preferences has a saved city → use that

- Else → ask via **AskUserQuestion**: "What city should I check the weather for?"

### 2. Geocode the city

Use **WebFetch** to call the Open-Meteo geocoding API:

```

https://geocoding-api.open-meteo.com/v1/search?name={city}&count=1&language=en&format=json

```

Extract `latitude`, `longitude`, and `name` (resolved city name) from the first result.

If no results found, tell the user and ask for a different city.

### 3. Fetch current weather

Use **WebFetch** to call the Open-Meteo forecast API:

```

https://api.open-meteo.com/v1/forecast?latitude={lat}&longitude={lon}&current=temperature_2m,relative_humidity_2m,apparent_temperature,weather_code,wind_speed_10m,wind_direction_10m&temperature_unit={celsius|fahrenheit}&wind_speed_unit=kmh&timezone=auto

```

### 4. Display weather

Show a fun, concise weather card:

```

{weather emoji} Weather in {City}

Temperature: {temp}°{C/F} (feels like {apparent}°)

Conditions: {description from weather code}

Humidity: {humidity}%

Wind: {speed} km/h {direction}

{fun one-liner comment about the weather}

```

**Weather code mapping** (WMO codes):

- 0: Clear sky

- 1-3: Partly cloudy

- 45, 48: Foggy

- 51-55: Drizzle

- 61-65: Rain

- 66-67: Freezing rain

- 71-77: Snow

- 80-82: Rain showers

- 85-86: Snow showers

- 95-99: Thunderstorm

**Emoji mapping:**

- Clear → sun

- Cloudy → cloud

- Rain/Drizzle → rain

- Snow → snowflake

- Thunderstorm → lightning

- Fog → fog

### 5. Offer to save (first-time only)

If no preferences existed and no city argument was given, ask:

> Save {City} as your default location?

If yes, write preferences file.

## Principles

- **Always live data** — never cache or guess weather; always fetch fresh from the API.

- **Fun and concise** — keep it light. One screen, one glance. Add a witty comment about the conditions.

- **Fail gracefully** — if the API is down or city not found, say so clearly and suggest alternatives.

- **Respect saved preferences** — once configured, just show the weather with zero friction.
