What it does

Weather is an agent skill from aws-samples/sample-strands-agent-with-agentcore, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Current weather and multi-day forecasts worldwide

Its SKILL.md is about 300 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Reference architecture for agentic AI chatbots with Strands Agents and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/weather”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6dd9d13. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Weather loads about 303 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 14 tokens; SKILL.md has 130 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~14
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~303

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Available Tools

  • get_today_weather(city_name, country?): Get current weather conditions and today's hourly forecast.

    • city_name (string, required): City name (e.g., "Seoul", "New York", "London")
    • country (string, optional): Country name for disambiguation (e.g., "South Korea")
  • get_weather_forecast(city_name, days?, country?): Get multi-day weather forecast (1-16 days).

    • city_name (string, required): City name
    • days (integer, optional, default: 7): Number of forecast days (1-16)
    • country (string, optional): Country name for disambiguation

Usage Guidelines

  • Use city names directly — the API handles geocoding internally.
  • Add country when the city name is ambiguous (e.g., "Portland" exists in both Oregon and Maine).
  • Use get_today_weather for current conditions and today's hourly breakdown.
  • Use get_weather_forecast for multi-day planning (travel, events, outdoor activities).
  • Present temperatures in both Celsius and Fahrenheit when the user's preference is unclear.
  • Include relevant details: precipitation probability, wind speed, humidity.
