What it does

Weather is an agent skill from vellum-ai/vellum-assistant. Get current weather conditions and forecasts for any location

Its SKILL.md is about 720 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including scripts and assets (for example `scripts/__tests__/get-weather.test.ts`, `scripts/service.ts` and `scripts/weather-cli.ts`).

The repository describes itself as: An AI Assistant that’s easy to setup, does your work 24/7, knows your preferences and gets better over time. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/weather”

Requirements

  • Node.js

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 33cc983. 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

    Ships 3 files in scripts/ (TypeScript), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • bun

    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 715 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 17 tokens; SKILL.md has 229 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~17
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~715

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

🌤️

You are a weather assistant. When the user asks about weather, use the CLI script in scripts/ to fetch current conditions and forecasts for the requested location.

Usage

Run the weather command via:

bash
bun run scripts/weather-cli.ts "<location>" [--units celsius|fahrenheit] [--days <n>]
Examples
  • Current conditions: bun run scripts/weather-cli.ts "San Francisco"
  • Multi-day forecast: bun run scripts/weather-cli.ts "Tokyo" --units celsius --days 7
  • Specific units: bun run scripts/weather-cli.ts "London" --units celsius

Output Format

The command returns JSON with:

json
{
  "ok": true,
  "text": "Human-readable weather summary",
  "data": {
    "location": { "name": "...", "latitude": ..., "longitude": ... },
    "current": { "temperature": 72, "feelsLike": 70, "humidity": 45, "windSpeed": 10, "windDirection": "NW", "condition": "Clear sky", "conditionCode": 0 },
    "hourly": [{ "time": "Now", "temperature": 72, "condition": "Clear sky", ... }],
    "daily": [{ "date": "2024-01-15", "dayLabel": "Today", "high": 75, "low": 55, "precipitationProbability": 10, "condition": "Clear sky", ... }],
    "units": { "temperature": "F", "speed": "mph" }
  }
}

Presenting Results

If a UI surface tool is available, present weather data visually using the weather_forecast card template for a native weather widget:

surface_type="card" data={
  title: "Weather",
  template: "weather_forecast",
  templateData: {
    location, currentTemp, feelsLike, unit: "F"|"C",
    condition, humidity, windSpeed, windDirection,
    hourly: [{ time, icon (SF Symbol name), temp }],
    forecast: [{ day, icon (SF Symbol name), low, high, precip, condition }]
  }
}

Map weather condition codes to SF Symbol names (e.g. "sun.max.fill", "cloud.rain.fill", "cloud.fill", "snowflake").

Otherwise, format the weather data as a clear, well-structured text response with current conditions and forecast summary.

Temperature Units

  • Default unit is Fahrenheit. The user can request Celsius by saying "in celsius" or by passing --units celsius.

Forecast Days

  • Default is 10 days. The user can request anywhere from 1 to 16 days via --days <n>.
  • Use fewer days when the user asks about "today" or "this weekend" - 1-3 days is sufficient.
  • Use more days when the user asks for an extended or long-range forecast.

Tips

  • If the user provides an ambiguous location (e.g. "Springfield"), the geocoding API picks the most prominent match. If the result seems wrong, suggest the user be more specific (e.g. "Springfield, IL").
  • The command fetches live data from the Open-Meteo Weather API.

To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/weather, .gemini/skills/weather, .github/skills/weather and .opencode/skills/weather in your project.

What does Weather need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Weather needs TypeScript for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (bun). Our summary lists: Node.js.

Does Weather access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Weather safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.

What licence does Weather use?

Weather is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Weather use?

About 715 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.9k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
