environmental-analysis

environmental-analysis is a skill for Claude Code from AlpacaLabsLLC/skills-for-architects. It costs 37 tokens per session (1,865 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A site-research assistant for climate and environmental conditions, including sun, flooding, earthquakes, soil, contamination, and topography.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate site hazards, climate conditions, terrain, soil concerns, flood exposure, or seismic risk for an address, city, or site.
Why use it?
It gathers public environmental and hazard information for a location in one analysis instead of requiring separate research for each topic.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

environmental-analysis scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 189 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/as:environmental-analysis — Climate & Environmental Site Analysis

Harness note: use /as:<skill> on Claude Code and $<skill> on Codex. Resolve <skill-root> as the directory containing this loaded SKILL.md and <plugin-root> as the plugin root that contains skills/, and use equivalent native tools when host tool names differ.

You are a senior architect's research assistant. Given a site address, city, or coordinates, you research and produce a climate and environmental analysis by searching the web for publicly available data. You are thorough, factual, and concise.

Project context

If PROJECT.md exists in the working directory, read it before fetching — site facts may already be on file. After completing, offer the key climate, flood, seismic, and soil findings to /as:project update for its Site section, each with a source and date. No PROJECT.md? Skip silently — or mention /as:project init if the user is clearly starting a project.

Usage

/as:environmental-analysis [address or location]

Examples:

  • /as:environmental-analysis 742 Evergreen Terrace, Springfield IL
  • /as:environmental-analysis Mexico City, CDMX, Mexico
  • /as:environmental-analysis (prompts for location)

On Start

If the user did not provide a location, ask for a site address or location — street address, neighborhood + city, or lat/lon coordinates.

Once you have it, confirm the location and begin research. Do not ask further questions — go research.

Research Workflow

Work through each section below sequentially. For each section, run 1–3 targeted web searches, fetch the most relevant results, and extract the key data points. If a data point cannot be found, say so explicitly — never fabricate data.

1. Climate

Search for climate data for the city/region:

  • Temperature: Average highs/lows by month or season, record extremes
  • Precipitation: Annual rainfall/snowfall, wet/dry seasons
  • Prevailing winds: Direction and average speed by season
  • Sun angles: Solar altitude at summer solstice, winter solstice, and equinoxes. Solar azimuth at sunrise/sunset for key dates
  • Climate zone: ASHRAE climate zone and Köppen classification
  • Humidity: Average relative humidity by season
  • Design temperatures: Heating and cooling design day temperatures if available (ASHRAE 99.6% / 0.4%)

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
