What it does
Earthquake Watch is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Check recent earthquakes worldwide with zero API keys — USGS real-time GeoJSON feeds via curl, filtered by magnitude, region, and time window. Use when asked was there an earthquake just now, recent quakes near a place, any big earthquakes today, or monitor seismic activity somewhere. Produces the matching events with magnitude, depth, location and time, the felt/damage context bands, and the rerunnable command — with the official-guidance line safety questions require.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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: 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 was there an earthquake just now
- Recent quakes near a place
- Any big earthquakes today
- Monitor seismic activity somewhere
Example prompts
- “/earthquake-watch”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

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
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
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
earthquake.usgs.gov
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
Earthquake Watch loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 123 tokens; SKILL.md has 573 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 recent earthquakes worldwide with zero API keys — USGS real-time GeoJSON feeds via curl, filtered by magnitude, region, and time window. Use when asked was there an earthquake just now, recent quakes near a place, any big earthquakes today, or monitor seismic activity somewhere. Produces the matching events with magnitude, depth, location and time, the felt/damage context bands, and the rerunnable command — with the official-guidance line safety questions require.
Earthquake Watch Skill
"Did we just have an earthquake?" gets asked within seconds of every tremor, and the USGS answers globally in near-real-time over keyless HTTPS. This skill knows the feed matrix (magnitude threshold × time window), filters to the place actually asked about, and frames magnitudes honestly — a 4.5 under a city and a 6.0 under the ocean are different events, and depth is half the story. For anything safety-shaped, it points at official emergency guidance rather than improvising any.
What This Skill Produces
- The events — matching quakes with magnitude, depth, location, and time (converted to the user's zone)
- The context read — what that magnitude/depth typically means for feeling it and damage, as bands not predictions
- The regional filter — the feed is global; the answer is about the place asked
- The command — exact curl, rerunnable
Required Inputs
Ask for these if not provided:
- Where — a place to filter around (the feeds are global; lat/lon of the place makes distance filtering honest)
- The window — "just now" (past hour feed), today, this week
- The threshold — significant-only vs. everything-they-can-feel (M2.5+) vs. research-grade (all)
Framework: The Feed Matrix and the Framing
- The feeds —
https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/feed/v1.0/summary/{mag}_{window}.geojsonwhere mag ∈significant,4.5,2.5,1.0,alland window ∈hour,day,week,month. "Just felt something" →2.5_hour; "big ones today" →4.5_day. Each feature:properties.mag,.place,.time(epoch ms),.url(event page),geometry.coordinates= [lon, lat, depth km]. - Targeted queries beat feed-filtering for specific regions:
https://earthquake.usgs.gov/fdsnws/event/1/query?format=geojson&latitude=35.68&longitude=139.69&maxradiuskm=300&starttime=2026-07-17&minmagnitude=3— the fdsnws endpoint takes radius, time, magnitude bounds directly. - Magnitude bands, stated with every event: <3 rarely felt · 3–4 felt, no damage · 4–5 felt widely, minor damage possible near epicenter · 5–6 damage possible in built-up areas · 6–7 serious damage potential · 7+ major. Depth modifies everything: a shallow (<20km) M5 outfeels a 200km-deep M6 — say both numbers together.
- Times get converted: feed times are epoch UTC; the answer speaks the user's local time ("14 minutes ago, 03:12 local").
- The safety line: for "should I worry / is a bigger one coming" — aftershock probabilities and tsunami assessments belong to official agencies; link the event's USGS page and name the authoritative sources (national geological survey, tsunami warning centers) instead of improvising reassurance or alarm.

Output Format
Earthquakes: [region] — [window]
[The direct answer: "Yes — M4.7, 22km deep, 38km NE of [place], 14 min ago" or "No M2.5+ events near [place] in the past [window]."]
| Time (local) | Mag | Depth | Location | USGS link |
|---|
[Context band for the notable event(s) · aftershock/official-guidance line when safety is in the air]
Source: USGS real-time feeds · rerun: [exact curl]
Informational — for safety decisions follow official emergency guidance, not this summary.
Quality Checks
- The direct yes/no answer leads before any table
- Depth appears next to magnitude on every quoted event
- Times are converted to the user's local zone with the relative offset
- Regional questions used radius filtering, not eyeballed global feeds
- Safety-shaped questions route to official sources by name
Anti-Patterns
- Do not answer from memory — seismicity is the definition of live data; fetch or hand over the command
- Do not quote magnitude without depth — half the felt-intensity story
- Do not predict aftershocks or all-clears — that's official-agency territory, linked not imitated
- Do not present the global significant feed as "nothing near you" — filter by place before saying no
- Do not dramatize small events or shrug at large ones — the bands calibrate the tone
Example Trigger Phrases
- "Was there an earthquake just now?"
- "Any recent quakes near Tokyo?"
- "Were there any big earthquakes today?"
- "Monitor seismic activity near me."
