What it does

Public Holidays is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Look up public holidays for any country and year with zero API keys — the Nager.Date API via curl, with long-weekend detection and cross-country planning. Use when asked what are the holidays in a country, is date X a holiday somewhere, find long weekends this year, or which days is the team in Japan and Germany both off. Produces the holiday list with local names, the specific-date answer, long-weekend candidates, 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.

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 what are the holidays in a country
  • Is date X a holiday somewhere
  • Find long weekends this year
  • Which days is the team in Japan and Germany both off

Example prompts

  • “/public-holidays”

Workflow steps

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

  1. The year list: curl -s "https://date.nager.at/api/v3/PublicHolidays/2026/JP" → JSON array with date, localName, name, global, counties…
  2. The global flag is the regional trap: global: false + a counties array means the holiday applies only in listed regions (Bavaria's extra…
  3. types matters at the edges: most entries are Public, but some countries include Bank, School, Optional, Observance — an Observance is not…
  4. Cross-country scheduling: fetch each country, then intersect/union per the question ("when are BOTH teams off" vs "when is ANYONE off")…
  5. Coverage honesty: ~110 countries; religious holidays following lunar calendars are included where official but company/regional…

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:

    • date.nager.at

    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

Public Holidays loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 116 tokens; SKILL.md has 572 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~116
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
Look up public holidays for any country and year with zero API keys — the Nager.Date API via curl, with long-weekend detection and cross-country planning. Use when asked what are the holidays in a country, is date X a holiday somewhere, find long weekends this year, or which days is the team in Japan and Germany both off. Produces the holiday list with local names, the specific-date answer, long-weekend candidates, and the rerunnable command.

Public Holidays Skill

"Is Monday a holiday in Germany?" is a five-second question that decides deploy schedules, invoice due dates, and vacation math — and Nager.Date answers it for 100+ countries over keyless HTTPS. This skill fetches, answers the actual question (a date, a plan, a long weekend), and respects the two traps: regional holidays that don't apply nationwide, and the countries whose holiday culture the API's global flag quietly encodes.

What This Skill Produces

  • The answer — is/isn't a holiday, the next one coming, or the year's list — whichever was asked
  • Local names alongside English — 元日 reads differently than "New Year's Day," and the local name is what colleagues will say
  • Long-weekend candidates — holidays adjacent to weekends, the planning gold
  • The command — exact curl, rerunnable

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • Country (or countries) — ISO two-letter codes resolved from names; multi-country questions are batched, one call each
  • Year — default the current year; "next 12 months" spans two calls
  • The real question — a specific date, planning a trip, scheduling around a team, or hunting long weekends — the output shapes to it

Framework: The Calls and the Traps

  1. The year list: curl -s "https://date.nager.at/api/v3/PublicHolidays/2026/JP" → JSON array with date, localName, name, global, counties, types. Next holidays: .../api/v3/NextPublicHolidays/DE. Specific-date check: fetch the year, match the date. Long weekends, precomputed: .../api/v3/LongWeekend/2026/DE — the API does the adjacency math itself.
  2. The global flag is the regional trap: global: false + a counties array means the holiday applies only in listed regions (Bavaria's extra days, Scotland vs England). Answering "Germany has a holiday" for a Bavaria-only day is the classic wrong answer — quote the regions.
  3. types matters at the edges: most entries are Public, but some countries include Bank, School, Optional, Observance — an Observance is not a day off; filter or label by type when the question is "is the office closed."
  4. Cross-country scheduling: fetch each country, then intersect/union per the question ("when are BOTH teams off" vs "when is ANYONE off"); present as a small table with local names.
  5. Coverage honesty: ~110 countries; religious holidays following lunar calendars are included where official but company/regional observances (Diwali bonus days, US company holidays like day-after-Thanksgiving) may not be — say when a workplace calendar could differ from the public list.

Output Format

Holidays: [country/countries, year]

[The direct answer to the actual question first.]

DateHoliday (local · English)Scope
[Filtered to the question — the date, the range, the intersection; regional entries labeled with their regions]

[Long-weekend section when planning was the intent]

Source: Nager.Date · rerun: [exact curl] [Coverage caveat when workplace/regional nuance is in play]

Quality Checks

  • The specific question is answered before any list appears
  • Regional (global: false) holidays are labeled with their regions, never presented as national
  • Non-public types are filtered or labeled when "day off" is the question
  • Local names appear alongside English
  • Multi-country answers show the intersection/union the question implied

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not answer from memory — holiday rules change and lunar dates move; fetch or hand over the command
  • Do not present a regional holiday as nationwide — the global flag exists to be read
  • Do not count observances as days off
  • Do not dump 15 holidays when the question was one date
  • Do not promise a workplace is closed — public holidays and company calendars are cousins, not twins

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "What are the holidays in a country?"
  • "Find long weekends this year."
  • "Which days is the team in Japan and Germany both off?"
