What it does

Pp Jma is an agent skill from mvanhorn/printing-press-library. Read Japan Meteorological Agency official daily or weekly forecasts, municipality weather warnings and typhoon uncertainty for Japan trip planning. Use for JMA area or forecast station resolution, checking JMA warning lifecycle, or inspecting JMA cyclone analysis versus forecast. Trigger phrases include "JMA forecast for Tokyo", "JMA warnings for my destination", "check typhoon forecast uncertainty", "use jma-cli", and "run jma-cli".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k 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: Official library of CLIs generated by the CLI Printing Press. Endorsed, tested, and community-contributed. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Forecast station resolution
  • Checking JMA warning lifecycle
  • Inspecting JMA cyclone analysis versus forecast
  • Phrases include JMA forecast for Tokyo

Example prompts

  • “JMA forecast for Tokyo”
  • “JMA warnings for my destination”
  • “check typhoon forecast uncertainty”
  • “/pp-jma”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Bash

Workflow steps

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

  1. Install via the Printing Press installer. It defaults binaries to $HOME/.local/bin on macOS/Linux and…
  2. Verify: jma-pp-cli --version
  3. Ensure the reported install directory is on $PATH for the agent/runtime that will invoke this skill.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 76de244. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Bash

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx
    • go

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Pp Jma loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 111 tokens; SKILL.md has 627 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~111
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

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.

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.

JMA source workflow

Prerequisites: Install the CLI

This skill drives the jma-pp-cli binary. You must verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command from this skill. If it is missing, install it first:

  1. Install via the Printing Press installer. It defaults binaries to $HOME/.local/bin on macOS/Linux and %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\PrintingPress\bin on Windows:
    bash
    npx -y @mvanhorn/printing-press-library install jma --cli-only
  2. Verify: jma-pp-cli --version
  3. Ensure the reported install directory is on $PATH for the agent/runtime that will invoke this skill.

If the npx install fails (no Node, offline, etc.), fall back to a direct Go install (requires Go 1.26.6 or newer). This installs into $GOPATH/bin (default $HOME/go/bin), so add that directory to $PATH instead:

bash
go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/travel/jma/cmd/jma-pp-cli@latest

If --version reports "command not found" after install, the runtime cannot see the binary directory on $PATH. Do not proceed with skill commands until verification succeeds.

  1. Resolve the destination with jma-pp-cli areas search --query Kyoto --kind municipality, then areas resolve --area 2610000. Use the returned source ID; exact name ambiguity is an error. Stations are forecast temperature references; use stations search for a station request.
  2. Read forecast get --area 130010 --period all --days 3. Preserve district/station IDs, issued and valid times, units, source confidence and missing null values. Short extrema time markers are not instantaneous temperatures.
  3. Read warnings get --area 1310100. Summaries cover all resolved municipalities before pagination. Report source Japanese wording and lifecycle; inspect --detail for source hazard properties. none_reported concerns retrieved municipality weather products only. incomplete, transport failure, missing records and unknown codes do not establish no warnings.
  4. Discover current cyclone IDs with typhoons list, then fetch selected detail with typhoons get --id TC2632. Obtain a current ID before running the example. Distinguish JMA analysis, estimate and forecast. A 70% center probability circle is forecast uncertainty; it does not represent cyclone size or a guaranteed path. Historical analysis tracks in --detail have no individual timestamps.
  5. Check meta.coverage, meta.sources, issue ages and page.next_offset. Use --refresh for a fresh network request. inventory refresh is explicit; source inventory reads are offline and do not silently refresh. --offline fails on stale/missing weather cache. Finish when the requested source evidence is retrieved and its geographic/temporal limits are reported, or a retrieval failure is clearly reported.

Agent output

sh
jma-pp-cli forecast get --area 130010 --agent --select results.series
jma-pp-cli warnings get --area 1340100 --detail --select state,municipalities.events
jma-pp-cli typhoons list --select results.id,results.issued_at
jma-pp-cli stations search --query Tokyo --limit 5

JSON is compact by default. Dotted field projection traverses arrays and always retains provenance/pagination. Exit 2 indicates input/projection/resolution error; 4 transport/cache/offline error; 5 incomplete/incompatible source data. Diagnostics go to stderr. Source absence stays null. Use --cache-dir to isolate this CLI's cache and an absolute --home to isolate framework state. No API key or paid account is required.

Boundaries

Read README.md when explaining source validity, station coverage or warning completeness. Municipality weather warnings exclude joint river flood bulletins and coastal-zone supplements; warning valid-until is unknown. Issue age is not warning expiry. Present JMA wording accurately without personal safety clearance or evacuation advice. Choose another source for earthquake, tsunami, volcano, radar, observation/history, long-range forecasts, geocoding, transport operation status or weather outside JMA's scope. No purchases, bookings or provider writes.

These capabilities aren't available in any other tool for this API.
