copernicus-climate

copernicus-climate is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from beita6969/ScienceClaw. It costs 100 tokens per session (1,034 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An interface to the Copernicus Climate Data Store, a service containing historical and projected climate data. It covers ERA5 weather reanalysis, climate-model projections, and satellite-based climate records.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to retrieve historical weather fields, upper-atmosphere variables, climate projections, or satellite-derived climate data through the CDS API.
Why use it?
It provides structured climate datasets for analysis instead of requiring you to collect and format weather or climate records manually.

    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

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

copernicus-climate 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 10d 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.

Copernicus Climate Data Store (CDS)

Access ERA5 reanalysis, climate projections, and satellite climate records through the Copernicus CDS API. Covers global gridded climate data from 1940 to present.

Prerequisites

Install the CDS API client and configure credentials:

pip install cdsapi

Create ~/.cdsapirc with your CDS credentials:

url: https://cds.climate.copernicus.eu/api
key: <your-uid>:<your-api-key>

Register at https://cds.climate.copernicus.eu to obtain credentials.

API Base URL

https://cds.climate.copernicus.eu/api

Basic Python Retrieval Pattern

import cdsapi

c = cdsapi.Client()

c.retrieve(
    "reanalysis-era5-single-levels",
    {
        "product_type": "reanalysis",
        "variable": "2m_temperature",
        "year": "2023",
        "month": "07",
        "day": "15",
        "time": "12:00",
        "area": [60, -10, 35, 30],  # N, W, S, E bounding box
        "format": "netcdf",
    },
    "era5_temperature.nc",
)

ERA5 Pressure-Level Variables

Retrieve upper-air data on pressure levels:

c.retrieve(
    "reanalysis-era5-pressure-levels",
    {
        "product_type": "reanalysis",
        "variable": ["temperature", "geopotential", "relative_humidity"],
        "pressure_level": ["500", "700", "850", "925"],
        "year": "2023",
        "month": "01",
        "day": "15",
        "time": "12:00",
        "format": "netcdf",
    },
    "era5_pressure_levels.nc",
)

Key Dataset Identifiers

Dataset ID Description

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.

copernicus-climate is a skill published in the GitHub repository beita6969/ScienceClaw (898 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 100 tokens to every session and 1,034 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
