assess-trail-conditions

assess-trail-conditions is a skill for Claude Code from pjt222/agent-almanac. It costs 95 tokens per session (3,396 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A trail-safety assessment based on weather, snow, river crossings, exposure, and maintenance reports. It produces a green, yellow, or red recommendation for whether a planned hike is suitable.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before a hike, during tour planning, after weather changes, or before an alpine or exposed route.
Why use it?
It brings changing conditions and specific hazards into the go-or-no-go decision. This helps hikers assess seasonal or unexpected risks before committing to a route.

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

assess-trail-conditions 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 1mo 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.

Assess Trail Conditions

Evaluate current trail conditions for safety decision-making before a planned hike or during tour planning.

When to Use

  • The day before or morning of a planned hike to make a go/no-go decision
  • During tour planning to assess seasonal viability of a route
  • After unexpected weather changes during a multi-day tour
  • When reports suggest trail damage, closures, or unusual hazards
  • Before committing to an alpine or exposed route

Inputs

  • Required: Trail name, region, and approximate coordinates or waypoints
  • Required: Planned date(s) of the hike
  • Optional: Trail difficulty rating (SAC T1-T6)
  • Optional: Maximum elevation on the route
  • Optional: Known hazard points (river crossings, exposed ridges, glaciers)
  • Optional: Group experience level (affects risk tolerance thresholds)

Procedure

Step 1: Gather Weather Data

Collect weather forecasts from multiple sources for the trail's elevation range.

Weather Data Sources (in preference order):

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.
