What it does

Air Quality is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Check live air quality anywhere with zero API keys — Open-Meteo's air-quality API via curl, decoded from raw PM2.5 and AQI numbers into what they mean for going outside. Use when asked what's the air quality, is it safe to run outside, AQI in my city, or pollution levels right now. Produces the current AQI and pollutant levels, the plain-language health read with the standard bands, and the rerunnable command.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Plain language and style rules. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked whats the air quality
  • Is it safe to run outside
  • Pollution levels right now

Example prompts

  • “/air-quality”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. The call: curl -s "https://air-quality-api.open-meteo.com/v1/air-quality?latitude=28.61&longitude=77.21&current=pm2_5,pm10,ozone,nitrogen_d…
  2. The US AQI bands, stated every time: 0–50 good · 51–100 moderate · 101–150 unhealthy for sensitive groups · 151–200 unhealthy · 201–300…
  3. PM2.5 is the headline pollutant for health questions (it reaches deep lung tissue); ozone matters for afternoon exercise; NO₂ tracks…
  4. Timing beats averages: pollution has a daily shape (traffic peaks, afternoon ozone) — for exercise questions, pull the hourly series and…
  5. Model honesty: Open-Meteo's air quality is model-derived (CAMS), not a monitor on the user's street — excellent for bands and trends, not…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • curl

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • geocoding-api.open-meteo.com
    • air-quality-api.open-meteo.com

    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

Air Quality loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 106 tokens; SKILL.md has 555 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~106
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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.

description
Check live air quality anywhere with zero API keys — Open-Meteo's air-quality API via curl, decoded from raw PM2.5 and AQI numbers into what they mean for going outside. Use when asked what's the air quality, is it safe to run outside, AQI in my city, or pollution levels right now. Produces the current AQI and pollutant levels, the plain-language health read with the standard bands, and the rerunnable command.

Air Quality Skill

Air quality is a daily decision input — run outside or inside, windows open or closed, mask or not — and Open-Meteo serves it globally over plain HTTPS, no key, no signup. This skill fetches it, then does the part the raw number doesn't: translating PM2.5 and AQI into the standard health bands, matched to what the user was actually deciding.

What This Skill Produces

  • The read — one sentence: the air right now and what it suggests for the stated activity
  • The numbers — AQI plus the pollutants that matter (PM2.5, PM10, ozone, NO₂), with the timestamp
  • The bands — where today sits on the standard scale, so the number has meaning
  • The command — the exact curl, rerunnable

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • Location — lat/lon or a place name (geocode first: https://geocoding-api.open-meteo.com/v1/search?name=Delhi&count=1)
  • The decision behind the question — a run, a bike commute, a sensitive-lungs household, open windows — the read is calibrated to it
  • Which index they think in — US AQI or European AQI (the API serves both; the numbers differ substantially for the same air)

Framework: The Fetch and the Read

  1. The call: curl -s "https://air-quality-api.open-meteo.com/v1/air-quality?latitude=28.61&longitude=77.21&current=pm2_5,pm10,ozone,nitrogen_dioxide,us_aqi,european_aqi" — add &hourly=pm2_5,us_aqi&forecast_days=2 when the question is "when today will it be best."
  2. The US AQI bands, stated every time: 0–50 good · 51–100 moderate · 101–150 unhealthy for sensitive groups · 151–200 unhealthy · 201–300 very unhealthy · 301+ hazardous. A bare "AQI 137" is not an answer; "137 — unhealthy for sensitive groups; fine for most, skip the long run if asthmatic" is.
  3. PM2.5 is the headline pollutant for health questions (it reaches deep lung tissue); ozone matters for afternoon exercise; NO₂ tracks traffic. Match the pollutant discussed to the question asked.
  4. Timing beats averages: pollution has a daily shape (traffic peaks, afternoon ozone) — for exercise questions, pull the hourly series and name the cleanest window rather than judging the day by one reading.
  5. Model honesty: Open-Meteo's air quality is model-derived (CAMS), not a monitor on the user's street — excellent for bands and trends, not for litigation. Say "modeled" when precision is being leaned on, and point sensitive-health decisions to local official monitors.

Output Format

Air Quality: [location] — [timestamp]

[One sentence: the band, and the answer to their actual decision.]

MetricNowBand
[US or EU AQI per preference · PM2.5 · the pollutant relevant to their question]

[If timing asked: the hourly shape and the recommended window]

Source: Open-Meteo air-quality API (modeled/CAMS) · rerun: [exact curl] Advisory reading — for medical-grade decisions use official local monitoring.

Quality Checks

  • The band appears with the number — never a bare AQI value
  • US vs European AQI is disambiguated
  • The read addresses the stated activity, not generic health advice
  • Timing questions get the hourly series, not a single reading
  • The modeled-data caveat appears when precision matters

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not answer from memory — fetch or hand over the command
  • Do not mix up the two AQI scales — a European 80 and a US 80 are different airs
  • Do not medicalize — bands and general guidance, with sensitive cases routed to official sources
  • Do not judge a whole day by one hour when the question is "when"
  • Do not dump all pollutants undigested — lead with the one the question is about

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "What's the air quality?"
  • "Is it safe to run outside?"
  • "What's the AQI in my city?"
  • "How bad is the pollution right now?"
