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

weather-forecast 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/get_coordinates.py, scripts/get_forecast.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Weather Forecast Skill

This skill fetches 7-day weather forecasts from the Open-Meteo API and presents the data in both table and chart formats.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

  • User requests a weather forecast for any location worldwide
  • User wants to see temperature trends or weather data
  • User asks for a visual representation of weather conditions
  • User specifies a city name or coordinates

Standard Workflow - IMPORTANT

When given a city name, ALWAYS follow this two-step process:

  1. Use get_coordinates.py to geocode the location (DO NOT use built-in knowledge)

    uv run python skills/weather-forecast/scripts/get_coordinates.py "City, State"
    
  2. Use those coordinates with get_forecast.py

    uv run python skills/weather-forecast/scripts/get_forecast.py <lat> <lon>
    

DO NOT: Hardcode coordinates from training data or external knowledge. Always use the get_coordinates.py script to ensure the skill is self-contained and reproducible.

Prerequisites

The script requires the requests library. Install if needed:

pip install requests --break-system-packages

Workflow

Option A: Using City Names (US Cities Only)

For the 1000 largest US cities, use the get_coordinates.py helper script:

Step 1: Get coordinates from city name

uv run python skills/weather-forecast/scripts/get_coordinates.py "City, State"

Accepts formats:

  • "Philadelphia, PA" (city, state abbreviation)
  • "Trenton, New Jersey" (city, full state name)
  • "Denver" "CO" (separate arguments)

Step 2: Get forecast using the coordinates

# Combined workflow
uv run python skills/weather-forecast/scripts/get_forecast.py $(uv run python skills/weather-forecast/scripts/get_coordinates.py "Philadelphia, PA")

Option B: Using Coordinates Directly

For international locations or US cities not in the database:

Step 1: Get Coordinates

  • Search the web for "{city name} coordinates" to find the lat/lon
  • Or ask the user to provide coordinates directly

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.
