Quick Conditions Check

Fetch current weather, air quality, daylight, and avalanche conditions for a mountain peak. Much faster than a full route research -- no web scraping or agent dispatch needed.

If the user provided a peak name as an argument (e.g., /mountaineering:conditions Mt Baker), use that as the target peak. Otherwise, ask which peak to check.

Phase 1: Peak Identification

1. Search PeakBagger for the peak:

   uvx --from "git+https://github.com/dreamiurg/[email protected]" peakbagger peak search "{peak_name}" --format json
   

2. Handle results:

   • Multiple matches: Use AskUserQuestion to present options. For each: "[Name] ([Elevation], [Location]) - [PeakBagger URL]". Include "Other" option.
   • Single match: Confirm with user: "Found: [Name] ([Elevation], [Location]) - [URL]. Is this correct?"
   • No matches: Try variations (Mt/Mount, word order reversal, remove titles). If still nothing, ask user for clarification.

3. Extract peak_id from the selected result.

Phase 2: Peak Details

Fetch peak coordinates and elevation:

uvx --from "git+https://github.com/dreamiurg/[email protected]" peakbagger peak show {peak_id} --format json

Extract: latitude, longitude, elevation_m (elevation in meters), peak_name.

Phase 3: Fetch Conditions

Run the conditions fetcher script:

cd ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/route-researcher/tools && uv run python fetch_conditions.py \
  --coordinates "{latitude},{longitude}" \
  --elevation {elevation_m} \
  --peak-name "{peak_name}" \
  --peak-id {peak_id}
  # Optional enrichment flags:
  # --trailhead "lat,lon"          multi-county path sampling (trailhead→summit)
  # --distance-mi N --gain-ft N    enables time_estimates
  # --start-time HH:MM             enables itinerary (requires distance+gain)
  # --waypoint "lat,lon" ...       enables bearings (2+ waypoints)

This returns JSON with weather, air_quality, daylight, avalanche, peakbagger, counties, nearest_hospital, ranger_station, campgrounds, and (when --distance-mi/--gain-ft provided) time_estimates sections.
